I talked to my neighbor [retired glass installer].

He says banks have a 1-1/4" ballistic glass and it had to be cut with a wet saw w/thin carbide or diamond tipped blade. Circular type saw NOT at high RPM, but keep it VERY WET

It's laminated so you can't scribe it.

What are you building?  Sounds like it could be an interesting project.

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

If a man designed it, and a man built it, then a man can fix it.
