The lap is usually the cheapest part. Is it a diamond disk or a slurry wheel? Diamond disks are usually easier to use and less messy but they can get real spendy. I would research this before you get into it.

What size is it? If you want to research the price of disks first check out ASW Diamond (http://www.aswdiamond.com/Glass_Cold_Glass4.asp)
They make all there disks in US and they last a long time. If you had to buy a whole set of disk it would only be about $200 for a set of 8" ones and they would last more than a year if you didn't do a ton of cutting.
Hope that helps.
