I had to cut a piece of glass for an air conditioner install in a window, I used this method and it worked perfectly. Boy was I relieved. Thanks for the video.

@MrDiyDork 7 лет назад

Awesome. Glad to help!

@roflmylmao 5 лет назад

the ball on the end of the tool is for tapping along the line that you just scored! it's not for breaking the glass off. tapping along the line you score helps create micro cracks along the line so you can ensure it will break evenly! super useful tip

@squirlmy 3 года назад

well yes, but... it shows that MrDiyDork doesn't know what he's talking about here! He's very long winded, and we don't need to know, for example 4:41 that "a lot of people will just take it in their hands..." We don't need to know the wrong way to do it. It sounds like a "strawman fallacy" anyways. Who are these "a lot of people"? Are you really looking up the statistics, or going out doing research on how many people incorrectly break glass after cutting? No, you didn't! And if a simple demonstration without the verbiage seems like it would be too short for a video, you could do third, fourth, fifth and sixth cuts, etc., being more leisurely, making jokes about unfashionable eye glasses or whatever extraneous information you want to share, as you continue to make cuts. This video is all dork, very little DIY!

@@squirlmy geez, who pissed in your cereal? The video's fine, for people who never did it and it feels intimidating the easy going nature of the video helps to make the whole thing less scary. The comment above politely added additional info that's useful, you're just hating.

@anbond5054 2 года назад

Thank you! I have had nothing but grief trying to cut glass but following these directions did it, I wasn't putting near enough pressure on to get the "crunchy sound". The dowel is really helpful too, thanks for taking your time to share all of this.

@Nettsinthewoods 3 года назад

The adhesive tape and listening to the sound of the cut are top tops. Thank you.

@mellewedin8221 5 лет назад

Listen, taping that down is not over kill.. in fact that is a wonderful idea.

@jacobmaclachlanjacob4800 5 лет назад

Thank you! Very helpful, watched this and proceeded to cut glass for the first time, got it on the first go which is great because I only have one pane that's the exact size I needed.

@staceygatien300 6 лет назад

wow, seems like the glass snaps much easier than I thought at first...makes me much more confident to try it out! Thanks :)

Nice simple how-to. My mother used to do some stain glass when I was younger. That cutter on glass is like fingers on a chalkboard.

@MrDiyDork 9 лет назад

Make Crazydays Yeah, the sound isn't what you'd expect with a little roller on glass. It's interesting how well a little score mark really works though.

Agreed that the dowel works wonderfully. I had a 6.75"x8.75" piece that I had to cut down to 6"x8". Setting it up on a small dowel gave me a nice clean line, and I got it done with the first attempt.

@craignehring 4 года назад

Been down this road before, but great refresher course. I have some glass to cut for an old AM FM receiver, fortunately it is not silk screened

@user-cv9ts7sq7z 4 года назад

I took a small chunk out just above my wrist two days ago doing the score and snap method with your hands. Be very careful with that way folks, if youre a noob like me and trying to snap a small bit of glass, absolutely do NOT bend your wrist and put your body weight on it. If it had cut me a quarter inch deeper or lower...would of been bad. Edit: Thank you for this video! Much better instruction than the ones I watched before.

Great video! I was originally going to have a local glass cutting place make several cuts I needed, but they were very expensive at $8-10 per cut. I think I can do better by getting a large sheet of glass and cutting what I need to out of it. One question I had though, what do recommend for polishing the edges of the glass to make them look nicer and less sharp? Will sandpaper work for that or is there something better / nicer looking?

@dalenassar9152 4 года назад

Another thing that I found that works is, after the scribe, turn the glass over, and lightly tap along the entire scribe (now on the opposite side), then turn it back over (sometimes it is ALREADY broken perfectly), and strike with something that distributes the force along the edge.

@john84753 6 лет назад

Thanks, you are the first person to address the fact that the wheel is off-set. I still don't understand how to start the cut, it's really hard to position the cutter accurately. And the nightmare has just started.

@mizzourita3896 9 месяцев назад

I will try these tips, I've cut several pieces of glass now and every time has been a fail, I've either cracked the glass or it doesn't break off where I cut it and it's so frustrating. I cut tile day in and day out but for the freaking life of me I cannot get glass to cut, I've been trying to cut it at a curve though, straight is no problem but trying to cut a circle of glass is just beyond my capabilities
