Default Re: Moving coil meter glass

You might not know that 2mm 'picture glass' will cut with a pair of scissors (!!), if you do it under water. No, I don't know why that stops it shattering, but it does. I cut rough circles out, and then use a belt linisher to abrade them into the true shape - it works very well. Sometimes I pick up broken picture frames on the street to keep the glass for such things.
