About our CNC glass cutting service
Our CNC cutting service can be applied to glass in a range of styles and thicknesses. We also offer in-house glass toughening, laminating and heat soak testing processes for safety applications. Our 20,000 sqft factory has the capacity and flexibility to service bulk orders and single sheet orders, with free delivery to customers in Dorset, Hampshire, Surrey, Berkshire, Sussex and Wiltshire.
For more than 25 years we have continually invested in the most advanced computer controlled glass cutting, routing and waterjet cutting machines. Our Portsmouth factory boasts two master horizontal CNC machines, a vertical Intermac Vertimax CNC machine, a waterjet cutting bed, and 2 computerised glass cutting tables. This investment provides benefits for our customers including precision, short lead-times, a high degree of expertise and quality, and the capacity and flexibility to serve small and bulk orders.
From complex shapes to smooth curves
CNC cutting technologies allow us to create complex glass shapes, including smooth curves and radiuses, cut-outs, counter sunk holes for patch fittings and neat internal cut-outs for finger-pull door handles. We can also create plug socket cut-outs for glass splashbacks and recessed sinks in glass kitchen and bathroom worktops.
We have become trusted suppliers to many companies specialising in balustrades, shower enclosures, splashbacks, glass worktops and furniture manufacturing. Our team can work with digital CAD files or turn customers’ hard templates into DXF files using our Prodim Proliner scanner.

What does CNC mean?
CNC refers to computer numerical control, a system for automating the control of machines such as drills, routers, lathes and milling machines. CNC controlled machines are motorised, with precise movements controlled by a computer which delivers a program of sequential instructions. The CNC machines used by abc Glass Processing are able to drill and rout the glass, with tooling changed automatically.
What can our CNC machines do?
- Cut complex shapes – Our CNC cutting service can be used to create complex cut-outs in glass patch fittings and components. This is ideal for frameless shower screens, glass doors, glass balustrades and balconies, stair rails, and more. Other examples include cut-outs for plug sockets and switches in sinks, extractor fans, and glass splashbacks.
- Drill holes – We can drill holes for fittings such as door handles and door hinges. CNC cutting can also create decorative holes and finger pulls within glass.
- Cut and polish – After cutting, our CNC machines polish all the exposed edges of the glass as it goes. We offer a minimum polish radius of 15mm or 7mm flat arrised glass edge finishing.
At what stage does CNC glass cutting service happen?
All computer controlled glass cutting and polishing takes place before the glass toughening stage of the process. To enable us to custom cut your glass, we can work with either DXF files or to your own templates, which we can scan and convert into CAD files.
Ordering and delivery
We require a digital DXF file for CNC glass cutting projects. Alternatively, we can convert customers’ own hard templates into DXF files using our scanner. Production lead times are from 7 to 14 days depending on the type of glass and degree of machining required.
All our glass is delivered to customers by our own drivers and fleet of vehicles. Ensuring quality and the best possible service. We deliver to customers in Dorset, Hampshire, Surrey, Berkshire, Sussex, and Wiltshire. Alternatively, you can collect your glass from our Portsmouth factory.
