Probably better to get a couple of sheets of ordinary 6mm plate

Rounding the

glass merchant who may as well frost it as well.

I've watched a glass merchant make a sheet of PAR (Polished All
Round) and he
did the edges with a fine grindstone - like you would use to sharpen
a chisel.
I'd be quite happy to do it myself now, although this doesn't help
the OP.

(Also cutting glass; Having watched the glass chappie do it, I'm
much happier
about doing it myself.)

It would be a relatively soft bond (*)carborundum wheel - quite
probably a rubber bonded wheel rather than a vitrious one. If you use
a hard bonded wheel it'll end in tears

(*) the bond of the wheel is what is used to hold the abrasive grains
into a matrix, so 'soft' refers to the holding together power rather
than the hardness of the grains themself.
