A few good YouTube videos to watch and study. They do make it look easy but remember that they are pros. Some cutters use heat to melt the laminate plastic others use lighter fluid/alcohol to melt the laminate. BE SAFE AT ALL TIMES!

I've cut glass with diamond router bits. It works ok. I found the best method is cutting the part slightly oversized and then do a cleanup pass. And lots of water on the cutter to keep heat down and the chips washed out. Good luck!
