When grinding glass, you really should keep it wet. It keeps the glass cool, and washes away the grit and stuff.

These grinders are not really designed to be used wet.

Even if you do rig up a water feed, you'll have to make sure that you use the right grinding wheels. The standard wheels that come with these grinders are too course for glass.

Lastly, you need to make sure that you run the grinder at the right speed for working on glass. Most of these grinders are single speed.

Bottom line: These aren't your best choice. You can go ahead and try one, but ....
