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
is it possible to laser cut tempered glass?
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.
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.
Can laminated glass be tempered?
