It is cut before it is tempered. If you attempt to cut tempered glass it will shatter. He is exactly right, before it is tempered, it's called annealed. Tempering is achieved by heating the glass and a rappid air cooling. This causes a great deal of stress on the glass. Any attempt to cut, drill, or edge it, and it will explode.
well this is a completely crazy way to do it but you can take a piece of tempered glass about 5000 ft below see and cut it but like obviously it would be cheaper to just buy a new piece or if needed you can un-temper glass from what i here not sure though

Can i cut or drill a hole in laminated and tempered glass?
Laminated glass and tempered glass are not necessarily the same thing. Tempered glass cannot be drilled, but untempered laminated glass could (probably) be drilled. Holes in tempered glass are drilled before tempering.
is it possible to laser cut tempered glass?
Tempered glass is "baked" after it has been cut to size, so generally speaking unless it is not of high quality, it would not be possible to cut the glass because it would just break instead of cutting.
Can laminated glass be tempered?
Tempered glass can be laminated, but laminated glass cannot be tempered.
We have a 3/8" thick glass coffee table top which we want to shorten. We are told if the glass is tempered- no can do. True any way to tell if a piece of glassis tempered?
You can not cut tempered glass because once a piece is broken the whole glass shatters. Tempered glass is safer because it breaks into tiny pieces rather than sharp edges like regular glass. The only way to tell if a glass is tempered is to break the glass or use a polarizer to detect stress waves. You will see stress waves in tempered glass verses regular glass. Hope this helps.
What is the Difference between herculite tempered glass and herculite tempered safety glass?
Herculite tempered glass is a type of tempered glass that has been processed to increase its strength and safety. Herculite tempered safety glass is a specific brand of tempered safety glass known for its durability and resistance to impact. The main difference is that Herculite tempered safety glass is a branded version of tempered safety glass, possibly with additional features or specifications.
How can you easily tell tempered glass from regular glass without breaking it?
Ok usually tempered glass has a etched stamp in one corner of the glass, that tells you it is a safety rated glass, if it does not it may have a more ripplely reflection, because it is heat tempered . Sometimes you cant tell till you try and cut it and it shatters in a million tiny pieces.
How is tempered glass manufactured?
Tempered glass is manufactured in the following way. The glass is cut to the desired size. It is then examined for imperfection. It is then washed and put in a tempering oven. Finally, it undergoes a high-pressure cooling procedure called "quenching".
What would cause the back window to implode?
Rear and side windows of all vehicles sold in the United States are made of "tempered glass". Tempered glass is used because it has a desirable characteristic in that it does not create long, sharp shards when it breaks. Tempered glass breaks into crystal shapes, with far less dangerous edges. You can still be cut by broken tempered glass, but not the deep, dangerous cuts that threatens life. When glass is tempered it must first be formed into the final shape. Tempered glass cannot be cut, and even slight bending will cause the entire sheet to shatter into the characteristic small crystals. If the vehicle is heated unevenly and the vehicle is attempting bend the glass, it will shatter. As a result, auto manufactures make sure that the vehicles do not put those types of stresses on the glass. Typically, when tempered auto glass shatters, the glass has been damaged through scratches or chips. After that, even moderate temperature change can cause the tempered glass to shatter. The scratches or chips don't even need to be very severe.
What is the difference between Tempered Glass and Annealed Glass and which one is better?
Tempering is the process to add properties to the raw glass and to make it Standard or Toughened. If tempered (Heated) and cooled slowly, it becomes standard glass on the other hand if tempered and cooled rapidly, it gains different properties and becomes tough or is called toughened glass. Check the link below.
How do you determine tempered glass or not?
To determine if glass is tempered, look for a manufacturer's stamp or mark indicating it is tempered. Tempered glass is also stronger and shatters into small, blunt pieces when broken. If you can't find any markings, consult with a professional or use a polarized lens filter to check for any stress patterns, which are typical in tempered glass.
Will a Cubic Zerconia cut glass?
Any material that well scribe a line on glass, well allow cleavage to split the glass on the cleave point of scribe. Glass plate hardness is 5.5 on the MHO-scale tempered glass 6.2
Why tempered glass is safer?
Tempered glass is safer than regular glass because it is stronger and more durable. When tempered glass breaks, it shatters into small, granular pieces instead of sharp shards, reducing the risk of injury. Additionally, tempered glass is more resistant to thermal stress, making it less likely to break due to sudden temperature changes.
