cutting a beveled mirror? - goaliedad - 06-23-2016
I have been asked to make a framed mirror. the most cost effective option I have found for a mirror is an off the shelf from a BORG. But it is beveled. The bevel will be covered by the frame, so that is no big deal- but can I cut across the width of the mirror, including the bevel? I have a good glass cutter, and have good luck cutting plain window glass.
In this case it might be worth the extra money to buy the mirror from a glass shop precut??
The mirror in question is 3mm thick, or under 1/8 inch. We may use a 6mm mirror, with is just shy of a 1/4 inch

If it's not tempered then you should be able to cut it. BUT - I have tried it in the past and haven't had the best of luck - it was old mirrors which can cause issues. New glass is easier to cut.
For me - I would just go to Ace or where ever and just have them cut it or but the mirror from the.
