     If you are talking about manually grinding with one of these blades,..
I have no idea, go for it,
get back to the list in a few months on your progress.  I have used these
diamond blade to cut
my initial curve into my disk with a angle grinder mounted on a beam at the
radius of curvature.
  And then rotating the disk (mirror) as to cut channels in a "fanned out
circle"... Cut a groove,..
twist,.. cut the next groove,.. twist,.. cut the next groove, all the way
around until you get back to
the beginning... Take the glass off the support and hog with 220 for 20
minutes.. bingo , start working
on your curve, you have your depth.....     RJ
