I talked to my neighbor [retired glass installer].
He says banks have a 1-1/4" ballistic glass and it had to be cut with a wet saw w/thin carbide or diamond tipped blade. Circular type saw NOT at high RPM, but keep it VERY WET
It's laminated so you can't scribe it.

He also said to cover glass w/plastic or tape so you don't scratch glass

What are you building? Sounds like it could be an interesting project.
Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

If a man designed it, and a man built it, then a man can fix it.

So you're saying that you live in an area with lots of drive-by's & you are tired of them taking out your wind chimes?
