In my opinion, glass is sand, so is likely to be bad for your machine. Grinding machines have extra attention paid to protecting the ways. Theoretically, taking extra precautions should be enough.
I need to make some replacement glass screens from microscope slides.

I bought some .25" diameter diamond milling bits and I am thinking I might mount a slide with rosin and mill the perimeter shape with everything taped inside a plastic bag. Another issue is the feed rate. Even if the feed rate is slow, that doesn't help if each step is fed in .0005" or .0002" steps. I think the Tormach resolution is much smaller than this but it might be worth some attention.
