jestep Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Most glass shops will cut glass if you want to do a glass one. Just let them know what your doing and that tolerance is important. You don't need them beveled but they can grind the edges so they aren't sharp. Measure well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
