Probably everyone has heard of applications where laser beam is used to
cut steel plates. But are there similar applications to cutting glass?
Will the same setup do for glass or is it too hot?

I have a couple m^2 of raw factory mirror and would be interested in
turning it into pieces of art. Would like to hear if anyone of you has
experience in this field.

How powerful does a laser have to be in order to cut 10 mm steel?
