Thats what I have used in the past, and in some cases a specialty glass place will cut it or supply it, I got the idea when I retrofitted an older leblond lathe that had it, it is extremely hard and does not scratch.
They can also supply the rubber moulding to mount it in, you need a nice radius on the corners.
The toughest glass I ever found though was hardened glass windows used in locomotive cabs, came across some in a locomotive scrap yard once.
