Keencut Glass Cutting
Posted: Mon 29 Aug, 2005 2:15 pm
When cutting a few millimetres from a piece of glass, instead of scoring the line and nibbling with your grozing pliers, an alternative method is illustrated below: -
After scoring, place a solid wooden straight-edge on the overhanging sliver.
Apply a sharp blow with the lower hand while applying firm pressure with your upper hand.
With practise you should be able to remove a 2mm unbroken sliver from a full sheet of glass using this method.
