Tempered glass is "baked" after it has been cut to size, so generally speaking unless it is not of high quality, it would not be possible to cut the glass because it would just break instead of cutting.

Can i cut or drill a hole in laminated and tempered glass?
Laminated glass and tempered glass are not necessarily the same thing. Tempered glass cannot be drilled, but untempered laminated glass could (probably) be drilled. Holes in tempered glass are drilled before tempering.
How is tempered glass cut?
It is cut before it is tempered. If you attempt to cut tempered glass it will shatter. He is exactly right, before it is tempered, it's called annealed. Tempering is achieved by heating the glass and a rappid air cooling. This causes a great deal of stress on the glass. Any attempt to cut, drill, or edge it, and it will explode. well this is a completely crazy way to do it but you can take a piece of tempered glass about 5000 ft below see and cut it but like obviously it would be cheaper to just buy a new piece or if needed you can un-temper glass from what i here not sure though
We have a 3/8" thick glass coffee table top which we want to shorten. We are told if the glass is tempered- no can do. True any way to tell if a piece of glassis tempered?
You can not cut tempered glass because once a piece is broken the whole glass shatters. Tempered glass is safer because it breaks into tiny pieces rather than sharp edges like regular glass. The only way to tell if a glass is tempered is to break the glass or use a polarizer to detect stress waves. You will see stress waves in tempered glass verses regular glass. Hope this helps.
How can you easily tell tempered glass from regular glass without breaking it?
Ok usually tempered glass has a etched stamp in one corner of the glass, that tells you it is a safety rated glass, if it does not it may have a more ripplely reflection, because it is heat tempered . Sometimes you cant tell till you try and cut it and it shatters in a million tiny pieces.
How is tempered glass manufactured?
Tempered glass is manufactured in the following way. The glass is cut to the desired size. It is then examined for imperfection. It is then washed and put in a tempering oven. Finally, it undergoes a high-pressure cooling procedure called "quenching".
What would cause the back window to implode?
Rear and side windows of all vehicles sold in the United States are made of "tempered glass". Tempered glass is used because it has a desirable characteristic in that it does not create long, sharp shards when it breaks. Tempered glass breaks into crystal shapes, with far less dangerous edges. You can still be cut by broken tempered glass, but not the deep, dangerous cuts that threatens life. When glass is tempered it must first be formed into the final shape. Tempered glass cannot be cut, and even slight bending will cause the entire sheet to shatter into the characteristic small crystals. If the vehicle is heated unevenly and the vehicle is attempting bend the glass, it will shatter. As a result, auto manufactures make sure that the vehicles do not put those types of stresses on the glass. Typically, when tempered auto glass shatters, the glass has been damaged through scratches or chips. After that, even moderate temperature change can cause the tempered glass to shatter. The scratches or chips don't even need to be very severe.
Can laser cut glass metal stone and a house now?
yes , they can do it by passing high beam of laser for long time.
Will a Cubic Zerconia cut glass?
Any material that well scribe a line on glass, well allow cleavage to split the glass on the cleave point of scribe. Glass plate hardness is 5.5 on the MHO-scale tempered glass 6.2
How do you Make tempered glass?
Tempered glass, also known as toughened glass is commonly used in cars and telephone booths. The glass is first cut into specific size, then put into a heat oven where the glass passes through temperatures of 620 degree Celsius. As soon as it comes out of over rapid cool air is sprayed onto the glass except for center, this causes a gas trap in the center of the glass and this is what makes it so strong.
Can you cut shatterproof glass?
Yes A laser cutter or water jet cutter will cut it without cracking it.
Can tempered glass cut you?
It can cut you but should not cause serious harm (just a minor cut). Due to its structure, it is designed as a "safety" glass so that when it shatters, it shatters into many oval shaped pieces that has smooth edges. As stated before, in certain circumstances it can cut you (i.e. noticing that it is about to crack or falling from a fixture and you try to catch it).
What kind of laser will cut matal?
