Ya, I've used them before, (not on glass), but much coarser around 60grit. The one in the video is fairly fine and has some flex.

What grit did you try today and did it leave a fairly honed/polished surface condition?

Cheers and thanks for experimenting!

All I had was an 80 grit but it worked amazing to smooth out a bad cut that was made on the 116 gal that I am rebuilding. Going to pick up some 180 & 220 grit tomorrow.

They have other 'straight cut' diamond router bits, which can be used on a table with water and a parallel offset fence to put a true edge back onto the glass.
