I actually bought a cut FS mirror from a guy on the trading post. His wife cut if for him. (She works with glass.) Simply get ahold of a glass cutter and score it on the backside then snap it just like you would a regular old pane of window glass. Leave the protective film on but you can score it (the film) with a razor blade or X-acto knife. Good luck.

I took mine to a local lumber yard. I had them cut it and I bought a 1/8 piece of plate glass for my field lens mount. Total cost around $2.80

i took mine to speedy glass and the guy cut it for me in 2 secs.. and didnt charge me anything.
He used a glass scorer (handle with small diamond wheel) and then snaped it at the score line.
