Algae Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Just ran across this glass cutting video: Think I might wear gloves though (too few uninjured digits). This guy is is a pro and it shows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianB Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 wow I have tried to cut glass. Wasn't that easy. Must be his glass cutter.. (whistle) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I used to do this for a living. It's as easy as he makes it look after a few times. And the oil cutter like the one I still have similar to his makes a difference since their is oil that comes out of the cutter along the whole score. The basic cutters you get at home depot and other places usually do not have the option of putting oil in them. The oil gives you more time to break the glass apart.

I have the cheap Home Depot type glass cutter (with no oil reservoir) could you like maybe spray a little WD-40 on the glass in place of the oil type cutter?

peligro Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Yeah you can do that. There is a video on YouTube with a guy making a diy sump. He use wd-40 and a basic glass cutter. But when he breaks the glass apart he puts a pen or dowel under the cut, to break it cleaner HTC EVO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I have never used WD-40 but I think it should work or if you have any new motor oil around that would work as well. It's used to keep it a bit cooler and keeps it from starting to splinter as quick. And you should not score the same line twice if you don't get it to break the first time it will ruin the glass cutter if you score over the top of your last score line. If you don't get the glass to break on the line within a decent amount of time you will start to see it kinda spitting little shards of glass from the cut line. At this point it is not going to want to break clean and my not break on the line or break at all. Just kind of curious.
