Glass cutting

[trlcavscout]

I have never done anything glass before besides getting cut. I needed to cut 2 simple pieces 8 3/4" X 42". I'll be a son of a bitch I ended up with about 6" of use able glass!!! I ended up buying 2 sheets of "clear replacement glass" from HD and made a message of broken glass.

What the hell is the trick/proper way of cutting glass and what kind should I use for shelves in a china hutch? I don't know if its my scoring, the glass, or my glass cutter?

One pass with the cutter. Use clamps to hold the guide in place. Snap at the edge of the work bench. Throw $75 mirror away due to breakage. Call edge water glass, have them cut you a mirror for $85-150.

My experience.

Lowes cuts it.

Another recommendation for Superior DG. Great guy, and knows his glass.

Besides, give your business to members when you can, the big box chain stores.

1- was it tempered glass

2- Sometimes, it's easier to pay a professional

3 - Follow this mantra. How Much and How Long
Life becomes easier when you allow others to shoulder your burden............................................ .....AND cheaper, in the long run.

A write up wouldn't be bad though, as this is the DIY section.

Ah, uhm, can you cut tempered glass? I have a ton of it I need cut, but thought you could not cut it?

Cut first then temper
