Hello all,

I need to accurately cut 1.12mm thick glass sheets for a scale model. Mostly precisely placed holes and outside dimensions that include a curve.

I found this: http://benkrasnow.blogspot.com/2011/08/cnc-milling-glass-plates-and-mirrors.html

Questions (that I can think of):
1. What is the best coolant to use? Can I use water as a coolant?
2. If I submerge the glass in a tank of coolant (to contain the mess and particles), is that okay?
3. Are there any nuances to diamond burrs I need to consider when buying the cutting tools?

Image of the glass I need to cut on Nomad 883 (for illustrative purposes):
