I cut an old glass tabletop for sump baffles. I made sure to scrape well and clean with rubbing alcohol. I placed a huge towel (to be used for rags when done) on the garage floor. Then placed the glass on top of it. I used a t-square to make my score line straight. I used a 1/4" dowel placed under the score line and firm but heavy pressure to snap a straight edge. As someone stated before sometimes the edges can bevel and I experianced that on a few of my edges. It was a learning curve to say the least...

In the end, I rented and used a wet tile saw to make the baffles with perfect edges. Just be sure to always use thick leather or cut resistant gloves and wear eye protection.

HTH,
Joe
