CNC glass cutting

About our CNC glass cutting service

Our CNC cutting service includes glass in a range of styles and thicknesses. We also offer toughening and laminating of CNC cut glass for safety applications. We can service bulk orders and one-of-a-kind glass shapes, with free delivery to customers in Dorset, Hampshire, Surrey, Berkshire, Sussex and Wiltshire.

In recent years we have invested significantly in the most advanced CNC (computer numerical control) cutting machines. Our Portsmouth factory boasts two master horizontal CNC machines and one vertical Intermac Vertimax CNC machine. This new technology has greatly increased our capacity for CNC glass cutting while reducing lead times and maximising quality.

From complex shapes to smooth curves

CNC cutting allows us to create complex glass shapes, including smooth curves and radiuses, cut-outs, and counter sunk holes for patch fittings. We can produce neatly finished 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.

With a skilled and experienced team dedicated to processing the highest quality glass products for myriad applications, abc also provides high quality CNC glass cutting .

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 (associated with CAD) or to your own templates, which we can scan and convert into DXF 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 degree of machining required and type of glass.

We operate our own fleet of delivery vehicles and can deliver to customers in Dorset, Hampshire, Surrey, Berkshire, Sussex, and Wiltshire. You can also collect your glass from our Portsmouth factory.
