Laser Cutting Glass

[Mcyoda]

I know waterjet is the best tool to cut glass. I haven't see anything mention about laser cut glass anywhere. May be is not possible to cut glass with laser.

You got that right.

I havent had any luck cutting glass all the way with a laser. But will have to say that you can score it with a laser and then break it off. Not the greatest but will do.

I doubt many people outside of the display/solar-cell industry care about cutting glass so thin...

I am looking for cutting up to 1/2" thick. The link above is cutting very thin glass.
