[donmarcel]

I spend 39 yrs in glass industry in Dubai ....we had glass cutter from mp India, Mr nooral he was uneducated, but never seen glass cutter like him, who can beat intermac waterjet machine whc can cut any shape or thikness, he use to say bhai sahab Mai glass kattata nahi khata hu, . Means i don't cut glass i eat glass, seen him cutting any thickness....any shape like child plays with scissors cut born talent

One of the things novices do when cutting glass is using too much pressure with the cutting tool. You know when you have done it right by the sound. It should be a light hiss and the score is a fine line, almost hard to see. Too much pressure and the sound is crunchy with score looking like a deep scratch. The deep scratch are tiny fractures running radially from the line and at best will result in a rough cut and at the worst not cutting at all or running everywhere but where you wanted the cut. Also make sure you have cleaned the glass first and the cutter is not nicked and/or dirty. My humble experience.

Thank you, I was able to cut to size a thick mirror following your technique using the hammer. A bit unerbing but it worked!!

Great simple way of cutting very thick glass with simple tools, down to earth. I really like that, just using your hands, even wearing sandals 😊


Some people get over killed with so much gear and tools.

From all the videos I watched, this was the most helpful.

Thsnk you

jugaad technology: Thank you for this video. I see now that it is important to develop a "feel" for how hard to tap. This technique allows people to cut glass with simple tools and a little patience and perseverance. Thanks again for sharing your high level ninja glass cutting knowledge. 😊

I always say. " you can't control glass but you can tame it." I love my occupation and it seems as if you do too.

Been cutting glass for 42 years now and thicknesses up to 19mm by hand and only time I used a tapper was to start the scores of 10 and 12mm circles.
Never on straight lines.

1. use more big table to cut 2.after the first hit by hammer you use that pen under the cuting line 3.push down the glass the cuting line more smooth than this

I need to do this to a 10mm table top. How do I smooth the edge and make it look neat once the glass is cut ?? Thanks great video 👍🏻

[Alex_Correa]

When I was kid we used to to the same, but we made sure both ends were tapped fist, then we used to tap o the middle. That way we would guarantee the cut would be uniform end to end.

Thank you for sharing your technique. 🙏🏾

Just Use a brush to apply the oil on the glass before you cut it with the glass cutter and then place the sodden back part of the brush under the glass on the end of the cut and snap it pushing down.

[naveedkhan]

I was trying to same glass in small pieces but failed. I will trying your technique. Thanks for sharing

[stephengonzales]

Brilliant. Thank you so much for sharing.

[curiouskitten]

Does your technique work for cutting tempered glass? Thank you for sharing your experience.

[jackiego]

Thanks so much! Can I use any other type of oil before the cut?
