Glassmaster used to use a hand powered old Bilko repetitive cutting
jig. A lexan template was cut over sized so that the bearing on the
cutting head could run on the inside of the template. A glass strip was
cut about 1" wider then the 1/4 circle arch, about 3' long. The glass
was run on a straight edge through the Bliko. Dozens of 1/4 circles
were scored and then snapped off, one after the other.
You maight be able to get a Cuttermate tool to do this>
