You can trepan it if you are determined –
You need:
A steel can that is the diameter you want to cut;
A spindle of some sort;
A supply of coarse silicon carbide powder;
Water;
Wax;
Patience.
Cut the end off the can to get a thin-walled cylinder. Mount said cylinder on the spindle so that it runs true.
Dip lens in wax to protect it and stick it in place, centrally under the spindle.
Press the open end of the can against the lens and rotate it while maintaining pressure (backwards and forwards, or round and round – it doesn’t matter).
Slowly drip a mixture of water and carborundum powder onto the point where the glass and the can meet.
Keep going.
You get slightly neater results if you cut half way through from each side (provided you can accurately match up the cuts).
