Calling all mosaic tilers!

[justinisaac]

Hello all. Got a small job on at the moment using 20mm glass mosaics in standard 300mm sheets and I was hoping someone could pass on some advice as to how to cut them safely. Nibblers seem to shatter the tile but I noticed somewhere that Rubi make a mosaic nibbler - has anyone used one on glass?
Any help would be great.

Cheers,
Justin
