Mongo is on the right track. First of all only try to cut new glass. Old glass is more brittle, and even an expert will not guarantee success. You need a glass cutter, as already stated, and oil. They actually make an oil just for this, (and for the transmission of a '57 Chevy painted blue). The cutter has a carbide wheel. If this wheel is not used with oil, it will dull quickly, and cut no more. 'ti's a sad thing.
With practice you can even make curved cuts, it's all in how you snap it.

You don't actually "cut" it. A glass cutting tool is used to score the surface of the glass. The glass is then "broken" along that scored line.

You`re good Don, but let`s determine what type of glass it is first. If it`s tempered you`re going to end up with a pile of little glass cubes. If the piece of glass in question has what appears to be round sanded edges it`s probably tempered, thus bringing your glass cutting project to a temporary halt. If the edges are sharp, then Don prescribed the best method. GOOD LUCK
