DIY CUTTING GLASS
What’s the best DIY glass cutter?
I’ve tried glass cutting tools from DIY shops with little or no success. Is there a good brand or some magic technique to using them? I just need to replace the glass on some small picture frames from a large sheet of window glass I have.
Toyo is what I have cost about £18 and is brilliant. Picture glass is 3mm and if you went to your local glazier they’ll supply, say, 4 number foot square pieces for about a fiver. Maybe just do that.
Otherwise, hold your cutter, having dipped it in oil (oh and check the wheel actually turns and that it isn’t nicked or such), perpendicular to glass, i.e. upright, and pull across glass with a constant and even medium pressure. (it will give a nice satisfying constant sound). Tap along score line from beneath with ball end of cutter as suggested above and presto, the glass breaks neatly. Careful not to cut yourself now, and Good luck
