Does anyone know if it's possible to get grinding dics which will grind the edges of glass sheets? I need to trim 1.5 mm off the long edges of two 470mm x 944mm 4mm glass panels.

Easier and safer to go and buy a glass cutter (diamond or wheeled type) from the local tool/builders merchant - unless of course its toughened glass, and if that is the case, it will shatter when you trim it using either method!

For the sort of area you're talking about though, you'd be looking at some some sort of carbide sanding belt.
I have a vague recollection the industry use wet belt systems for grinding glass so it may be out of DIY scope anyway? I'd check with a glass merchant....
Daft question but is it possible/easier to take 1.5mm off whatever the glass is going in? Also consider whether it might be cheaper/easier just to replace the glass with correct size from your glass merchant.
