Questions and Answers for Husky 5 in. Glass Cutter

A:  As long as it's NOT tempered, yes this will score the glass for you to "snap" it. Tempered glass will be marked somewhere, generally in a corner.

A:  It can help score the glass which allows you to break it off. Doing it cleanly is the trick.

A:  No

A:  Yes. I found instructions here: https://homeguides.sfgate.com/make-glass-mirror-display-shelves-78074.html

A:  I think that kind of glass would be sorta thick to cut ..but besure to score it several times ..

A:  As long as it is NOT TEMPERED.

A:  Yes

A:  Yes, you can use this to cut mirror so long as you cut the front and back along the same exact line.

A:  Unsure

A:  Yes, I used it to cut a large mirror. It work pretty well.

A:  This isnt good for thicker materials (glass). I would think you would have better luck using maybe an acrylic type of cutter. It's not made with a wheel but they are super sharp, and doesn't require much pressure

A:  I'm affraid it will not work for that. It has a carbide wheel that is designed to score hard material. I have seen vinal tile cutters that may work better for you, as long as your not cutting the planks length wise.

A:  At such a low price, I think it's worth a shot. One other suggestion - vinyl plank is MUCH easier to cut/score if you heat it with a hair dryer. It gets very pliable, and razor blades /box knives go though it like butter.

A:  I believe it would score it but you would need to go over a couple of times to actually cut it. Maybe score and then use a box cutter also would need a solid straight edge.

A:  UPDATE: I did order one of these online and picked it up at the store yesterday. I haven't even opened the package yet, but for some reason I pictured the wheel much larger and was kind of surprised to see that it is so tiny. However, knowing the thickness (or lack thereof) of the flooring that I have and the fact that it only has to be scored on the top layer, I think it will work perfectly for me. Thanks so much to "TheWoolf" for that hair dryer tip. I would never have thought of heating it and I will make sure to have my hair dryer handy! :)

A:  Yes it will. Just score the sheet to be cut a few times with a nice straight mark and give it a gentle tap once or twice on the piece to be removed and it should separate nicely.

A:  Yes, as long as the glass fits inside one of the three slots you will not have any problems. Make sure you put the glass on a flat surface to score it.

A:  It will -score- (non-tempered) glass of most any thickness. You do the actual breaking after this tool scores the glass for you.

A:  As long as it is not Tempered Glass.

A:  It can help score the glass which allows you to break it off. Doing it cleanly is the trick.

A:  Jagged, curved and circular. As long as it is not TEMPERED and you use it right.

A:  It worked fine for a photo frame Glass.

A:  Yes, as long as you have a straight edge and make the cut about 1/4 to 1/2 inches away from the jagged edge, it will work. Just need to snap the cut edge carefully. The farther away the line from the jagged edge, the easier the cut will be.

A:  Yes, this cutter works well for cutting window glass.

A:  No, this -scores- glass. The glass needs to be on a stable surface to score, and be able to be placed on a hard edge to snap the glass along the score line. It's unlikely you'd be able to make a clean break on a jagged piece of window glass.

A:  You should have no problem cutting the mirror. This glass cutter will etch a line and then you will need to tap the part you dont to keep to make the cut final.

A:  I tried it, but it is not that easy. The ends kind of chip where you score the glass. If you looking for a clean cut, take it to the hardware store in your area. It is a tool best used for stained glass, like an artist would use.

A:  I wouldn't attempt to cut a thick glass table with this tool. It is probably too thick and too large to get the perfect cut. Instead of getting the good "snap" it will very likely shatter instead. I couldn't get the hang of this tool and ended up shattering a few pieces of glass. I ended up taking the dimensions to a professional who did the job for cheaper than the combined cost of the tool and glass that I broke.

A:  Your better off taking it to a glass shop. If it is Tempered Glass it will just Shatter.

A:  Wet Carbide Hole Saw.

A:  Getting a diamond tipped hole saw drill bit works excellent for making holes in wine bottles; I have drilled many holes in glass using those. Also, tile/glass drill bits work well too

A:  A diamond glass drill bit that can attach to your drill

A:  No, tempered glass can not be cut using any kind of cutters, or drilled thru

A:  Yes

A:  No. Tempered glass cannot be cut by this or any other cutter.

A:  No, tempered glass can't easily be cut; it will shatter if you try. My understanding is that to cut it, it has to be "untempered" (through some sort of heating/cooling process), can then be cut, and then be re-tempered

A:  No it will shatter the glass into a lot of little pieces.

A:  No, water will work fine to prevent splinters.

A:  It is recommended to use oil with this cutter.

A:  A drop of any oil can be used. Motor oil, 3-in-1, WD-40, cooking oil, baby oil, etc. You can probably get away without on a small cut, but it's so easy to lube the tool, why not?
