Removing glass baffle in an operational sump

[midgetwaiter]

I've done this, it's kind of a PITA but you should be able to get a clean break. Score right down the middle on one side and then smack the other side on the score line with a screw driver handle or something.

"Score" down it with what?

a tile cutter sometimes works ok, do you have a diamond ring around?

A diamond ring , maybe , but my girlfriend would kill me !

Don't use a diamond you'll chip the bloddy thing and never hear the end of it. Use a glass cutter from the hardware store, they're cheap.

Ive never used one for that purpose but i know people who have without problems, was just a sugestion.

How much of a gap you have between the edge of the baffle and the sump wall? If there is a gap you could try using thin air craft cable to saw the baffle out.

Been there, done that. Real diamonds cheap quite easily regardless of what the movies say about it.
