Default Cutting Pyrex

My wife just bought some new pyrex baking pans , and the one we want to
use is just a hair too long to close the oven door on - this is a small oven
in a camper . My question is can I cut the little bit off so we can use it ,
or will it shatter like tempered glass ? I have both a wet saw for tile and
wet/dry diamond and masonry cutting discs for my angle grinder . I think the
best choice will be the tile saw ... but I've been wrong before .


Yes you can cut it the same as regular glass.
When glasses are made or heated to the melting point, tempering is just
slow cooling to avoid built in stresses from cooling too fast. The
surface glass should not be much different than the interior.
