wow, seems like the glass snaps much easier than I thought at first...makes me much more confident to try it out! Thanks :)
Nice simple how-to.
My mother used to do some stain glass when I was younger. That cutter on glass is like fingers on a chalkboard.
Make Crazydays Yeah, the sound isn't what you'd expect with a little roller on glass. It's interesting how well a little score mark really works though.
I just tried this and it worked perfectly. The dowel is brilliant. Thanks so much.
I took a small chunk out just above my wrist two days ago doing the score and snap method with your hands. Be very careful with that way folks, if youre a noob like me and trying to snap a small bit of glass, absolutely do NOT bend your wrist and put your body weight on it. If it had cut me a quarter inch deeper or lower...would of been bad.
Edit: Thank you for this video! Much better instruction than the ones I watched before.
I've watched about seven videos about this; this is the best one yet!
😊
Thank you! This makes it very simple and doable. Appreciate your help!
Great Diy video , I watched and cut my first glass perfect ,😊Just as your directed.
Dang!! That's cool, I found this little tool and had to do a Google lens to see what it was, I wish I had known this a long time ago!! Thank you!
Useful part of vid starts at 3:00

I will try these tips, I've cut several pieces of glass now and every time has been a fail, I've either cracked the glass or it doesn't break off where I cut it and it's so frustrating. I cut tile day in and day out but for the freaking life of me I cannot get glass to cut, I've been trying to cut it at a curve though, straight is no problem but trying to cut a circle of glass is just beyond my capabilities
Good job! you do a nice job of explaining the steps, I have enough confidence now to try it! Thanks
Glad to help out!
Thank you for posting this. The help is greatly appreciated
nothing but thumbs ups here, just scroll down. Great Job. Very instructive.
Mr. Dork you make it sound easy. If I go break another window because of you your getting a wedgy and I'm taking your glasses
Excellent tutorial and it’s easy to follow. Just on time I have a project right now of cutting glass. I have just applied what I saw in your video and wonderful I cut the glass. Thanks for sharing 👍
Do you have any tips for cutting 6” round mirrors?
Absolutely thank you for this video
Trying to get some info on cutting 4 ft X 1ft pieces of glass and how to do it safely .The glass is for a fish tank canopy top to control evaporation and doesn't have to be tempered glass . I'm just leery about cutting such a long piece of glass . I cut a 3 foot piece before and it broke the main part I wanted to save . Not sure what happened or why it did this considering the fact that I used caution and did exactly the same thing as what was shown . I used a straight edge and kept it secure and used a towel under the glass etc . I suspect that I applied pressure on the wrong spot when I went to break off the section or used uneven pressure along the score line .
Thank you! Exactly the information I needed.
Day 2- still not working. Up till 1.30 in the morning and now I’m salvaging all the glass I can find. Glaziers are shut so got to do it myself. What’s the issue here? Why is every piece of glass not working ???? Tried well over 15 cuts just like you describe but doesn’t work.
Great job,thanks
.
I really hope this works. I've just shattered a large piece of glass in a large picture frame. I've found another piece but it's slightly to large only by a few cms. I'm scared to touch it 😫
If you want your cutter to last more than just a few short cuts, you should lubricate the wheel. Kerosene or lamp oil is suitable without having to buy special oil.
Does it work for plexiglass?
What is the name of that knife
Now I wanna cut glass for dayz.good vid
Love your TAPE measure.
Where do you get those types of glass cutters in australia the only glass cutters we have are weels
Do you need to sand it down after?
Thank you for posting! Great video and very helpful. God bless in Jesus' name!
Thanks for checking it out!
I enjoyed your video,,Thanks for Sharing.
I like the tape hack
Will this work with large screen doors?
Great tutorial
Fantastic video, thanks so I!
can you use a normal blade
Excellent ❤️
Thanks for the vid bud gonna give this a go
Good luck raul! 🤠
God Bless you sir! 😁👌
Thanks, Great video
Gonna upgrade my 3d printer by putting in a glass bed addition. Now I know how to do it myself. Thanks!
Ulisses Hoill me too
thanks diy dork!
+Khristian Estrada You're welcome!
Thanks man!
Many thanks
Wow tape is great idea
Thank you very much
Great video.
Been a glazier for forty years and ive never ever seen anyone cut glass like that ! Best part of the video is 6.34..
how would you recommend cutting a window where you cant hold it to break the piece off?
Hmm, that's something I'm not sure about.
MrDiyDork either use a pair of glass running pliers or if you are talking less than 1/8" it may be easier to have a glass shop wet sand it down to size
What about the use of oil??
I usually don't need it, but feel free to use it if you want.
بہت شکریہ
Great Video :-)!
Thanks!
I am having a difficult time in scoring the glass. I don't get that sound when scribing.
Hmm, if you apply enough pressure, it should make that sound.
The tiny wheel just spins as I roll it over the glass, even with modest pressure.
you need to use oil
^ true, and also be sure your wheel isn't dulled out
does anyone get goosebumps when just thinking about doing anything to glass?
Wheres your PPE?
tnx
thank you.
thanks
Hi
Every glass cutting video mentions how the tool should make that "scoring" sound when applying. Very rarely do the cheap cutters I buy do this. Even when new. I hate those cutters. Need to find an alternative tool.
It didnt vut properly when i used it i dunno why
So close to downvoting for that horn, but really useful info, so I restrained myself. Next time please omit that, otherwise thanks for great info!
Are you navy seal?
Where do we get that tool?
the ball on the end of the tool is for tapping along the line that you just scored! it's not for breaking the glass off.
tapping along the line you score helps create micro cracks along the line so you can ensure it will break evenly! super useful tip
well yes, but... it shows that MrDiyDork doesn't know what he's talking about here! He's very long winded, and we don't need to know, for example 4:41 that "a lot of people will just take it in their hands..." We don't need to know the wrong way to do it. It sounds like a "strawman fallacy" anyways. Who are these "a lot of people"? Are you really looking up the statistics, or going out doing research on how many people incorrectly break glass after cutting? No, you didn't! And if a simple demonstration without the verbiage seems like it would be too short for a video, you could do third, fourth, fifth and sixth cuts, etc., being more leisurely, making jokes about unfashionable eye glasses or whatever extraneous information you want to share, as you continue to make cuts. This video is all dork, very little DIY!
@@squirlmy geez, who pissed in your cereal? The video's fine, for people who never did it and it feels intimidating the easy going nature of the video helps to make the whole thing less scary. The comment above politely added additional info that's useful, you're just hating.
@@squirlmy This video is full of good tips and you felt the need to go on and on in the comments about something insignificant, have a look at yourself you're embarrassing.
Hello, I am also a glass cutter, you can all access my mail in my Channel.
Yea that was crazy
I had to cut a piece of glass for an air conditioner install in a window, I used this method and it worked perfectly. Boy was I relieved. Thanks for the video.
Awesome. Glad to help!
The adhesive tape and listening to the sound of the cut are top tops. Thank you.
Thank you! I have had nothing but grief trying to cut glass but following these directions did it, I wasn't putting near enough pressure on to get the "crunchy sound". The dowel is really helpful too, thanks for taking your time to share all of this.
Thanks for the tip with the tape! Wish I had thought of that the last time I was cutting glass.
Thank you! Very helpful, watched this and proceeded to cut glass for the first time, got it on the first go which is great because I only have one pane that's the exact size I needed.
i can tell you are a helpful person.. you must be surrounded by loving friends.. keep up the good work, we needs more nice people like you...
I had the tool . You teached to cut glass then i make an aquarium myself
2 bucks for a glass cutter?. I went to 3 different stores and they were 8 to 10 bucks. Good video anyways thanks for sharing. What store did you get yours at?. M.
I think I paid $12 or $14 for the one he's using at Home Depot appx 3 yrs ago.
I haven't cut a single pane successfully,.with this cutter. I end up with multiple pieces & a scalloped edge. I had a cutter just like this years ago & never a problem. This one I've trashed 5 pieces of glass. I can't break it with my hands OR by tapping with the ball end. I only needed to tap once using my previous cutter. Consistently had a perfect line. I even tried adding a line of baby oil prior to scoring the glass last time, no luck.
I'm starting to believe I have a bad cutter...if that's possible.
Great video! I was originally going to have a local glass cutting place make several cuts I needed, but they were very expensive at $8-10 per cut. I think I can do better by getting a large sheet of glass and cutting what I need to out of it. One question I had though, what do recommend for polishing the edges of the glass to make them look nicer and less sharp? Will sandpaper work for that or is there something better / nicer looking?
RETRO-TYPE a wetstone
I made my first picture frame yesterday... Glass, bugger, I need to cut glass for the frame... After watching your video I have cut the glass and after a few more plays I have cut curves, ovals etc... thanks!
Wow great video! This is exactly the skill I needed to make some little custom windows for an exterior wall in my shed :) Thank you Mr. DIY Dork!!!!
Mr. Dork...your tip about taping down the straightedge was brilliant. So obvious...Thanks!
What is in your hand
Thank you. I am buying a cutter tomorrow and I was looking for advice. Yours is simple and the best for beginners
Good
Why isn’t this working for me??????
New glass cutter, metal ruler, tape, marker; all the gear! Tried over 10 pieces of glass and none worked. What is the video not telling me??? I need this glass tomorrow and now I’m taking glass out of pictures on my walls and still not working..
Video starts at 2:50
You're welcome.
4:20.
My bad
I used a 1/4 piece of trim that i was gonna put around the window to help snap the glass piece off. Bad idea. Since the trim was square, the glass was touching two points instead of one if i had used a dowel. I learned that by messing up 2- $28 sheets of glass.
*Use Dowel to snap glass
Ok if you never done this before just stop, go to a shop and have it cut professionaly. It will be cheaper in the long run. If you still want to do it then I'll recommend to buy a bunch of extra glass and practice. You will destroy most of it before you can do it right. It looks easy on video then it actually is.
that ball is not for that you showed. )) when you are cutting thick glass. 1/4" you cannot snap it as easy. so you do this. after you run your cutter and have your score line. you slide the glass over the edge of the table and tap with that ball from the bottom of the glass. right into the score line, and you will see how score line is starting to crack thru the glass. then you grab with your hands and break it off.
Thankyou for your video mate.

What is dove rod can you share a pic ? I have. 4 feet 20 inches 4 mmm glass .I get scouring sound and able to see scoured details of line but it does not snap
Some say to lubricate the glass cut line with an oil film or the cutter before scribing the line?
