Any grinding stone should work. Go slow and don't use much pressure. I had a large piece cut for a light table at a glass shop and they smoothed the edge with a belt sander with a narrow belt (approx 1/2"). Have the glass on a soft surface to help absorb vibrations. Of course, wear eye protection.</p>

<p style="margin:0.1rem 0px;line-height:1">You could also look for a stained glass shop in your area. They will have a special glass grinder, kind of like a router table and will leave a very nice edge.</p>
