EXCEL IMPEX Borit Glass Cutter YGD3 with Rubber Grip- Oil Feed Type (Green) 2 NOS

• Prepare a clean, flat, hard surface for cutting glass, such as a sturdy workbench or thick piece of plywood
• Sweep or vacuum the work surface to remove any dust, dirt or debris. Lay down a thin, damp rag to create a non-slip, supportive layer for the glass.
• Put on leather gloves and safety glasses, and use cotton rags and window cleaner to clean both sides of the plate glass.
• It’s important to clean the glass before cutting to prevent any dirt or grit from stalling the tool’s cutting wheel.

Cut the Glass

• Mark the cut line onto the glass with a fine-tip indelible marker
• Use a framing square, steel rule, or other straightedge to serve as a guide for the glass cutter.
• Now, lubricate the cutting wheel on the glass cutter with a drop of lightweight cutting oil or machine oil.
• Firmly grasp the cutter similarly to the way you’d hold a pencil. Then press the cutting wheel down hard against the glass and, in one uninterrupted motion, pull the cutter along the straightedge and right off the edge of the glass.
• When done correctly you’ll hear a continuous screeching sound as the hardened-steel wheel scores the surface of the glass.
• Now using the ball end of the glass cutter slowly tap along the score which will in turn break the glass to two pieces.

Note – You can also use a glass breaker or plier to do this. If you are a professional you can just tilt the glass and it will break along the score
