[ATM] cutting a big piece of plate glass into mirror or tool blanks

[Guy Brandenburg <gfbrandenburg@yahoo.com>]

How many folks have actually tried and succeeded in cutting reasonably sized mirror or tool blanks from a large piece of plate glass about 1 inch thick? Did you find the metal tabs on a wooden spindle worked well? Or was it easier to use a window-cutter and just cut numerous sides, then try to shape that into a rough circle?
