I used your surveillance tech to paralyze a bunch of Olympic athletes midstroke, no permanent injuries, not for profit. Prove it, dick.
You guys need to watch more glass cutting videos. After you get the score etched, heat the glass a bit(if it's sideways you want to use a torch or one of those reusable hand warmers(because they get hotter than the disposable ones)), and then put some ice right around your score. The temp differential should cause the glass to crack right along the etching. You really only use the "hammer" when you're cutting a straight line and then you lay the glass on a small dowel rod or the like with the rod running right under the score, or maybe just a touch on your side of it. Then you tap on the other side of the score with the "hammer". The stress from that will cause the glass to crack along the score.
@ The Modern Rogue, i was a professional glass cutter for 4 years. You almost nailed it. You were missing 1 tool though. Propane blowtorch. Thats the secret to cutting circles in glass. You cant hammer a curve in glass, gotta score it and torch it. Hope this helps you in your jewel robbery.
The hammer is for straight lines only, any curves require heat
I could show you how its done
Legend NOT tested.
Jason: explains correct procedure, whether or not he understands it himself
Brian: completely ignores him
You're not supposed to(and can't) cut through it with a tool like that. What you're doing is introducing a single point of failure so that when you tap it, it cracks along that hair-thin line. Brian's just grinding a wide path with low pressure and as he does that, the integrity of the pane is actually *improving* after the initial circle. Radial lines outside the circle just mean the pane will break outside the circle which is clearly not what you want. The frame and glass you're working on are also too flexible and light so when you hit them the shock is absorbed.
Get a good seal on the suction cup, apply pressure to the blade and draw the circle ONCE. Then you strike firmly near the line but inside the circle. Don't be timid, you're *trying* to break it. Leave the suction cup on so you don't drop the glass disc when it comes loose.
Just want to add.
You can forget the pizza slices completely if you're trying to be stealthy, use the suction cup as a handle and pull on it while tapping
This was painful to watch coming from a float glass manufacturing facility.
This was painful to watch coming from a float glass manufacturing facility.
@@thalaquatics8712 This was painful to watch by anyone with basic knowledge of how a class cutter works lol. You'd think that having a TH-cam channel themselves, they might go check out a video or two on how to cut glass before basically just picking up the tools and winging it. Kinda disappointed in the boys here.
@@Jester_The_Jynxster That's sort of the beauty of this channel though. It sort of just showcases two average joes approaching concepts and techniques as complete novices. They aren't here to educate the audience, they learn WITH the audience.
One of the things I love about Modern Rogue is that, rather than being a show where experts show you how to expertly do stuff, it's a couple of fairly normal guys approaching tasks as complete novices, taking some of the stigma out of being new at something. That said... dear gods, get someone to show you basic glass cutting. But keep doing the Mister Robot cosplay, 'cause that's freakin' awesome.
1000% haha it's hilarious and frustrating to watch
Pair of normal Rogues
Well knowing what not to do makes knowing what to do a lot easier
Don’t they normally have an expert?
With how they did everything exactly the wrong way, are we going to get a redemption video? It should be called something like "Legend Retested".
I was waiting for Cory or Annalise to come out and show them the proper technique.
Half the fun of the episode is watching them use the tools all wrong and using the wrong technique in every possible way.
First off, that cutter you got was junk. Not nearly enough suction. You're better off making your own out of a vacuum suction cup and attach a glass cutter to it. You then go around the glass with the cutter just a couple times. Not for 20 minutes. Take the ball end of the other tool you had and while pulling on the suction cup with moderate force, you tap the inside of the circle with the ball side close to the score line and it should pop free.
@@jordanpinto9687 experience with it?
I have seen people do it with cord and a glass cutter, they cut about 15 out of a glass table. But I think what they use would be better.
@@gabrieldeoliveira7725 no experience as a jewel thief, but I do have a bit of experience in cutting glass. A good seal with a strong suction cup is a must. We used the ones with handles while washing windows that had the ability to provide a vacuum and a release button. I have used them to remove panes of glass from my windows that had lost their seal.
"Look, this has a ball here" - not once use it to hit the glass...
@@jordanpinto9687 Never more than 1 score at any given time. The moment you've tried to do more than 1 or tried to re-score it's over. Also you want cutting oil for a smooth clean motion in your score.
Yelling at my screen "Score inside the circle, not outside!"
Yes! Shoot dingus. Yes! I was screaming from my experience working with glass. This was painful.
I’m no glass expert, but shouldn’t that be common sense? I think they did it for comments. And what’s with the extreme pansyness around glass? Frustrating episode for sure.
@@doublecritch to be fair that's probably how anyone with experience about any of the things they do on this show feel lol they are not experts they are 2 lovable idiots who need an adult
I was thinking in the back of my mind that lines inside made more sense, but I was shouting hit it with the ball end like Jason said in the beginning
"I think we were doing something a little wrong, but not totally wrong."
You literally did everything wrong. Every. Single. Thing. You even used the wrong end of the cutter to tap your score line!
I'm usually not one to give advice, but since it was asked for and I have cut glass before, maybe I can shed some light onto this failure. So remember at the beginning of the episode when Jason said that when he's seen it done they only score it once and Brian asked something along the lines of 'what would it hurt scoring it more'... Well, with each additional score you are adding more and more unpredictability to the eventual break. You probably noticed that each additional score felt a little bit more like you were just grinding sand and the score got thicker and thicker as the blade bounced from left to right each time it hit a glass shard. Each of those minute alterations to the score provides a new point at which your break can escape the score you have made and branch out across the rest of the pane of glass. All you are doing with the score is telling the glass what line you'd like it to break along, the more lines the glass can choose between the more likely it will find a dead end and lose the score.
That's a great explanation. I didn't know that
Also use the round hammer end to break the glass, not the scrapper
It's a property of Glass (Which is a Liquid).
Best seen in shattering a Glass with Sound, having a scratch or imperfection makes it work a lot easier.
Physics Girl did an episode on it.
@@lokithecat7225 It is an amorphous solid, not a liquid
@@internetuser8922 While accurate, it feels like something the average person wouldn't get without looking it up.
"What's the supervillain's motivation again?"
"Fuck Rex"
"Fair enough"
"oh, references are TIGHT!"
Try scoring the circle less and the lines *INSIDE* the circle pizza slice style and hitting it dead center. If done well you *should* have a nice and neat score line around the edge and a bunch of glass pizza slices inside. If you score too much, it might shatter the whole thing
Also water helps
That was my conclusion too. Score INSIDE and perhaps maybe possibly 🤷♀️
AND preferably on the opposite side of the glass which doesn't really help without an inside man.
@@velazquezarmouries or mineral oil
You're also supposed to use the ball end of the glass cutter to tap the scored section out. The ball helps to keep from scoring the glass further when tapping it, and causing other breaks.
As someone who used to build aquariums for a living, everything about this really hurt my soul.
aquarium glass isn't tempered correct?
this definitely is; i know.
@@wolu9456 the glass here is NOT tempered. Otherwise any cracks or breaks would shatter much like your side windows in your car. Generally aquarium bottoms are tempered.
@@wolu9456 you know? Clearly you don’t understand how tempered glass works with the internal stress you don’t really have a chance at cutting it properly with a cutter like this, it’s either in one piece or it’s in a million lol
@@lewisgray4202 Dude I freaking know this. you clearly do not. Tempered shatters in to a million and non-tempered does not.You can't tell the difference?
And you expect everyone to take you as an educated person?
"A bunch of the things I read said to score it less"
"Well, why would we ever do that?"
Why does that tool have a rounded side? Probably unimportant. Let's never think about it again.
Etching extra lines outside the circle isn't going to help cut a perfect circle out of an intact pane. That's for cutting an intact circle out of a broken pane. It might maybe perhaps help to cut extra lines inside the circle...... but maybe it wouldn't.
Yeah it really depends on whether you're trying to get a perfect circle of glass (score outside the circle) or a perfect hole in the glass (score inside the circle)
Still love Brian's "Jeep-Jopp" phrase. Need that on a t-shirt with like a definition. XD
I would gladly spend 50 bucks on a Jeep-Jopp hoodie
You don’t know what a Jeep Jopp is? It’s like a Doo Dad
I like how Jason says how to do it properly while Brian continues to do it wrong and wonders why it isn't working lol
Except Jason gives wrong directions too lol
The wood frame is absorbing the impacts with all the flexing it's doing. Something more rigid would probably work a bit better.
Also would probably help if they used the hammer end of the tool to start with.
Trying to cut at the edge of the glass would be easier, it should be more rigid near the edge
I’m pretty sure you need to be wearing a black-striped shirt, a beanie, and an eye mask for this to work
It would also help if they did anything right. But they messed up every single step. Cutting glass isn't super hard, so it's actually impressive how bad they screwed up.
Haven't done circles but normal glass cutting you scratch it once and then tap the scratch with the ball end to expand the scratch through the glass.
They went blue ball.
He’s right guys. Use the ball end to finish cracking. You’ll probably need to apply negative pressure with a suction cup, and pull. It should work. Great stuff guys, I love your show. I could easily see this turn into a half hour show on network tv.
Try scoring the glass less (literally one full circle and stop). Scoring it more just makes it harder as the point is to create one singular line of stress to control the cut. Then apply heat along the crack to cause it to grow (I recommend a soldering iron), This will stress the glass causing the crack to visibly grow without creating any additional noise.
You only need to score it once. After that you're rubbing glass dust against the diamond coated wheel sanding the wheel down running the tool. Theoretically you could run it around in a circle until the scoring wheel cut through the glass. And Brian's first tapping technique was correct just not hard enough.
Edit. It's possible you scored it too much. My credentials; worked at ACE hardware for 8 years +I collect hobbies as a hobby.
Glass cutting is a misnomer. You're creating a line and relying on glass being brittle.
1. Do not make more than one cut. This just makes more glass splinters.
2. The glass "cutter" is scratching, not cutting.
As a glazier, that was really hard to watch.
I'm sorry rich people are making you melt
@@MrJakson112 What?
@@domdecosa wasn't it? That grinding of the blade against multiple score lines made me look away
It look like exactly how I think my family break my work tools thinking they know what they are doing... But a little less twisted.

You have no idea how much slash this quote will score you from the Philosophy Majors at a uni party in England.
This episode kinda made me mad I've cut windows in the past and this ain't how you do it chief if you want to cut a circle you have to score once in one direction then you use the round end as a toffee hammer applying small but often strikes and you work your way around clock wise you'll know your through if you look through it at an angle and you can't see past the cut or look though from underneath and you'll see the same circle at the bottom then apply pressure to the suction tool and keep tapping till you get a clean break then your in.
"You're"
@@loralou-djflowerdove you're?
@@DatBoiOrly "You'll know your through" You're*
Coming from a family of glaziers and my own personal decades of experience, you sir are FULL of shit. You have not nor have you ever seen someone cut through glass with access to only one side of the glass. The ONLY responses that will be accepted are your agreement, or your personal video of the act to prove me wrong.
Just go over it ONCE with high pressure, knock it and you can se a crack starting to form
"Do you want eye protectio--"
*_"YEP."_*
Do not pie cut anything. It creates weak points and focuses the cracks, that then continue past the score cut. Also use ONE pass with cutting oil and decent pressure on the cutter. Finally, while slightly pulling on the suction cup, tap on the score cut with gentle but firm strikes. Go all the way around as you tap it. This should help the glass “slowly”(glass is fast) crack along the score line.
These tend to be better when someone with the actual clue steps in at the end (even when their knowledge is just research) ❤️
As someone who was a glazer for over 8 years, this was hard to watch.
this is one of those episode I just kept yelling "that's not how you do it!" at the screen over and over. and winching.
Methinks, even a winch would’ve made a cleaner hole.
What's interesting here is that even though they failed, they demonstrated one thing: when you see random people do it the first time without any experience in movies it's bunk, they won't do it right or successfully. It's a precise, learned skill, it's not just the tool doing the work alone.
@dfss csss I wouldn't say that. They followed their instincts that same as anyone without experience or training would, the natural result under those conditions would be a fail. Theyv had some spectacular fails for sure but I'd almost call this a successful fail.
4:55 Visible light goes through lasers, the key being 'visible'. Infrared light is blocked fairly well by glass and absorbed, so you can use (as mentioned) CO2 lasers to cut glass.
Technically I believe glass is 'transparent' between about 380nm (near UV) and 1800nm (infrared).
Ok so don’t score anything but the circle. Not any extra score lines. Use the ball at the back end by loosely gripping it like a drumstick and just rap on the glass, while going arouNd the circle. It will legit just pop out without to much force. Also, don’t score the circle so deeply
Use the big heavy part as lightly as you can manage for as many whacks as it takes....... yeah, and in my experience overscoring just helped me make a lot of waste glass instead of art....... some of it is counterintuitive, at least to a knuckle dragging caveman such as myself.
“I was not there for that episode”
lmao
I’m just here screaming at my screen the whole time.
These are the episodes I like. Them messing around with something they know nothing about in order to "test a legend", them not figuring it out and saying "whelp, looks like it's bogus". People expect way too much from these kinds of videos.
The way they used that glass cutter and knowing how delicate and expensive they are made me cringe. XD
I can just hear the professional glaziers shouting at their screens right now.
"I think we were doing something a little wrong"
You sir, actually have no idea how right you are rofl
Lighter fluid on the glass, let it burn then put cold water/ice/cold wet rag on it
better yet, put a shoe lace around the circle then soak the lace in lighter fluid
@@mister_gibson1837 that one works better on bottles since they are circular and therefore expand and shrink different than a pane.
would be worth giving a shot but I doubt the effect would be the one desired
I honestly feel like you're trolling us at this point lol
I used to make wine glasses out of old glass beer bottles so listen up rogues. Before making any score marks you want to ensure that the glass is clean. Spray it down with some brake or carb cleaner first. When you're scoring you only get one shot at going around in a continuous line. If you continue to go back and forth what you do is you end up cutting the crystalline structure into a haphazard raggedy line on a microscopic level. After you make the score take a blow torch and heat up along the line gently until the glass is too hot to touch but not so hot that it's about to melt. Then from there skip the tapping and just toss some ice water on it. Pop goes the weasel.
Well the problem is clearly that Jason isn't dressed as Catwoman and Brian isn't dressed as Black Cat. That's the only way it'll work.
The glass will shatter of embarrassment.
I'm not a burglar but I used to use a glass cutter to make cups from used bottles. And the way I cut the glass is using thermal shock. After performing the etching with a glass cutter, pour boiling water slowly And when the glass is hot, replace it with cold water and the glass disconnects exactly at the etching line

I clicked on this thinking it was about the electrical circuit called a jewel thief, and you guys seeing if it was worth stealing the little bit of extra energy out or something.
I was in too serious of a mood ..
this helped, funny as hell!
Score it once. One deep ring. think of it like tearing duct tape you want the smallest cut to tear it from.
Forget where I heard it, but when I did some glass cutting for DIY terrariums I was told that scoring more than once will make it *harder* to cut the glass, and will make it cut less cleanly.
I only ever did straight lines, though.
I have cut glass before, but never in a circle. generally, you'll want to score only once with pretty good pressure. then i would suggest one sharp rap with the sphere end of the tool.
I feel like most of these Legend Tester episodes need a follow-up where an expert actually comes in to help them for an episode.
Pretty sure you need to wet the suction cup on the cutting tool to get a good seal, probably would have worked better. Great video as always!
The ball end of the cutter is what your supposed to hit the scored lines with
Finally someone else smart enough to know how to use the ball.
I would use as precise a suction/compass thing as you can get, and make sure it has a glass scoring carbide tip. Just do a single, precise score line - consistent and strong pressure, but no repeat scoring. Then blow torch or other similar local heat source of some kind to create strong localized heat expansion.
This is the exact method I used to break up glass stock when I blew chemical glassware on a vacuum line. I can say I ever tried it in a circle on flat glass stock, but it definitely worked to make nice and clean breaks on tube and rod stock.
My dad worked in autoglass my entire childhood. I went to his shop pretty often and sometimes I got to see him cut glass. It always astonished me just how easy it is to cut glass with that scoring thing you guys used as a hammer.
I never saw it used to cut anything but straight lines though. I'm interested to see how that would be done correctly!
You know, one of the 3 disciplines of the Modern Rogue (Gentleman, Warrior, Scoundrel) is Gentleman. Henceforth I humbly request a Modern Rogue Golf episode. I can’t imagine Either of them golfing but would love to see it.

In the past I did stained glass. The hand tool you guys are using is to score a single scratch (which causes not only an imperfection but a set of microscopic fractures within the glass along that line). The next thing you would do is use a tool to separate the glass along that line by applying pressure on both sides of the score. In stained glass work there is a pair of what look like pliers which come to an angle like ^ or a curve like n. think of how a person breaks a stick over their knee, pressure in the same direction on both sides of the breaking point, applied down. Thats how glass breaks along a scored line. Its almost like tearing the glass. We always did it from the edge of the glass, where you could grab the score with the pliers. Not sure how you would pull it off in the middle. The other thing that stikes me as difficult is whenever we made concave curves we cut them out in several pieces because the outside piece would grip the inside curve, adding structure and ultimately leading to it breaking in unexpected areas. We would carve out some, and then some more, and then clean it up with a sander. I really don't think a perfect circle is possible in the middle of a pane of glass, but who knows. I could be wrong. I was a hobbyist, not a professional.
Maybe this will help give you ideas. I would strongly suggest trying to cut from an edge on a piece of glass as a test run before going for the middle. That way you understand how to control a glass while it cracks.

Brain: Dont push dont push dont push!
me: THATS THE ONE THING YOU NEED TO BE DOING RIGHT NOW!
For people who dont know, after you score the line apply gradual firm pressure along the scored line and you should see a crack form through the depth of the glass, follow that crack slowly around the trace, and pop out it goes
Honestly when i saw the title i thought the injury counter was going to reset today .
Yeah, can't wait for part 2. I want to see it done right. Thanks in advance.
Brian's face when first attempting to break the glass with the tiny hammer thing is just priceless while wearing the mask.
Working with glass for years this hurts but love these guys
I professionally cut glass in an industrial setting for 3 years, I've actually used a similar tool to cut circles. Basically when cutting glass you need to apply tension on the top surface. In essence you want to push from the bottom non-scored surface toward the top. It causes the score to propagate in a straight line from the top to bottom surface. When I cut circles I used the suction cup that held the scored side to rapidly pull and it popped loose. Another important note is to not overscore, make one pass with about 10 pounds of pressure and quickly twist the cup and the circle should pop loose.
TLDR. For 1/8 inch glass, use lube and even pressure (about 10 lbs) to make a single pass and rapidly twist the cup and it should break away cleanly. Thicker glass requires a little more pressure.
First walcomS7 and now a perfect strangers reference? You guys are hitting the right notes with me!
its amazing watching these guys try and figure stuff out...
Guys, no no no! This is the first time I couldn't make it through a video. Please reach out to me as a resource next time you do any roguelike stuff like this. 1. You don't score the same path more than once 2. Heat is the best method for breaking the score, use hot water or a jet lighter (hold it far away though)...glass is susceptible to thermal shock. From a rogue perspective hot water is very quiet and doesn't cause a flash of light like a lighter does 3. If you want to be a real cool thief you place tape over the area you are removing and then make a handle to pull it all out, you place one line of tape vertically and leave a tail folded over you can grab onto then you place several pieces horizontally over the top of your handle so it holds onto the glass.
once around then use the other end of the hand tool. The round ball is to break along the cut line/circle.
I would like to see them do the circle, then drill a hold in the middle and use some sort of togglebolt to apply leverage and cushion the clean circle break from falling
"I am unfamiliar with that, I was not there for that episode!" had me laughing good.
From a guy that use to cut glass all the time, use the following advice:
1. wet your suction cup and make sure the glass is clean. It helps to put pressure on it to ensure a good seal.
2. Make sure you have the room to go all around if using a circle cutter. When you find out after the fact you cant go all the way around it will cause issues.
3. Do NOT go over the same cut multiple times. Slight pressure is all you need to make a good mark that will break.
4. Use some oil on the cutting wheel. This helps keep it from running off when you go to break it.
5. When cutting, you need to strike it from the underside to start the break. Tapping the top wont do much as you have put a V shaped score in the glass, you want to press up from the focal point of the V. There are techniques to break it from the top but just tapping wont get you anywhere unless you just plan on breaking all the glass.
6. The ball on the end is used for tapping, not the head. You can bend the head to where it will not compress the spring inside.
after you make the circle cut, make scores to the center like you are slicing a pie or pizza, then tap the glass with the OTHER end of the glass cutter, the weighted end. That is why the end is weighted.
score one line in the glass, don't go over it again that just starts creating more fracture points and the whole plain can shatter. Then once you have that line tap directly on it with the hammer part or what I like to do is use a temperature differential to crack it, using a can of computer air duster turned upside down spray along the line that you scored or the fine point of a cigar lighter/mini torch will also work.
Though I never understood the need to make a circle, if you have a small surface like that straight cuts using the edge of the frame as a "ruler" be much easier and the fracture will have a much better time progressing straight then around in a circle.
You need to upgrade: To Sharks! With frick'n lazer beams on their heads!
myth busters did an episode on this. they found most jewel things have glass crack alarm. its nearly impossible to cut through glass like that without it cracking, so the alarm would go off anyway.
They're not trying to prove this, they are trying to make a circle glass opening. Just that, learning to cut glass.
Do you guys have info available about any of the cameras / lenses you use? Always enjoyed and appreciated your production value and would love to get some insight.
"All that matters to me is that he [Rex] is miserable!" lolol OMG. End me please. This is why I love you guys.
On top of scoring inside the circle (not outside), try applying tape around the circle to reinforce the glass you don’t want broken
Hey Brian, Jason, and Brandt, I have a fix to your woes: Different glass, cleaner cuts.
1. Tempered glass has been used since its creation in the late 19th Century for display cases. Then, thicken the frame another 1/2 inch so more pressure can be applied.
2. Clean the glass dust out of the cuts every full turn. This works like dusting your record albums so it plays clearer, only you're making the cuts more consistent in depth and pressure with every pass.
Try it with the annealed glass you have on hand, and see if it's worth a revisit!
I've got one of em circular glass cutters sitting in the garage, haven't touched it in years but now I kinda want to.
I cut glass at work sometimes, and just one cut is all I do, then I snap it into the halves.
Not the same thing, but if you score it a lot, just means there's so many more ways for it to break versus a clean cut.
I haven't gotten to the part where the glass breaks yet ...
With a glass cutter, the hardened wheel is to score, the rectangular groove, if you have one, is to snap, and the ball on the end, is to strike your score like a hammer, causing it to snap along the score. You ordered some stuff from Amazon, so if it was cheap, don't be surprised if it didn't come with instructions. Also worth mentioning, breathing in glass dust can be potentially fatal.
Perhaps once scored thermal shock would cut it. Something like laying a string soaked in lighter fluid laid in the scoring. Then lit and extinguished.
Amazing video keep it up guys!
It would be cool to split these episodes in two the first part where two average joes bumbling through trying stuff and the next part being where an expert breaks down what went wrong and how to improve their craft (with a demonstration ofcourse)
Either way love the videos… If you’re going to try it again try getting the suction cup wet and go in the same direction the entire time going backwards doesn’t do much except stress the glass
Love the channel !!!!!!!! Thanks guys
I’m a glazier (I cut glass for a living lol). This technique would not work. In fact hitting it from the side you scored it on at all, will not work. The only way it will break along the score is if your were tapping it from the other side. Which means that the way they are doing it will never work. There is a much simpler way to cut glass from the outside and not make a mess or noise that I use all the time but I’m not gonna say how to do that.
Jason's evil laugh part was hilarious!
I almost want them to do a stained glass now, most people know a lot about managing to get glass to cut into shapes they want. Also they get to work with molten metal which is fun.
"So now we just gently tap around the cut"
Starts Smacking the shit out of it
Like with bathroom tiles, you don't actually cut glass (at least, not with those tools). What you do is more like a controlled break. By scoring the glass once, you give it a very defined fracture along which it will break when pressure is added (usually from a single quick impact). It does this because that single crack is the path of least resistance for the energy that you put into the glass.
If you keep scoring it, then the force applied will no longer be able to go through the crack because of all the glass particles in multiple cracks, causing the energy from the impact to be absorbed and dispersed.
Another way you can think about it is the difference between a fracture in a bone (let's use the forearm as an example) and micro fractures. The micro fractures caused by low impacts (boxers when they spar or use a heavy bag) do not break the bone because all of those little fractures are spread out, with too much solid bone between them, so no impact force has a path of least resistance, so if you slip and fall on that bone then it is not likely to break. By contrast, a single, small fracture will take the full brunt of the same impact, causing that single fracture to rapidly widen and expand, causing the bone to break.
One nice score make a v shape cut which directs all that energy to a point. When you overdo it like that it makes a super uneven line that is missing that sharp point.
So I’m fairly certain that NYPD ESU uses a fairly similar technique for covert entry as well as patient access. I’m not sure what their workflow is, and what kind of cutter they use, but I’ve seen the tell-tale suction cup and circular piece of glass removed from high rise windows.
Aww yeah! New Modern Rogue episode!
You only need to score the circle once, and you need to use the suction cup to hold the piece of glass that you want to remove so no glass drops and sets off the alarms.
Same deal less scoring and heat the disk you scored with a butane torch lighter around the edges of the cut see if that causes it to fracture if it doesn't heat a bit more and use a few drops of water Keep the heat say 1/4 inch from the inside edge of the circle you scored It should just fracture along the score with out being touched with cold water. A fast shock from a small hammer should honestly pop it out. The disk it self is likely the break. As far as the radiating lines go i think that is if you want to retain the disk it self say to replace a glass clock lens. You are wanting to pop out the center portion leaving the rest intact so you might also want to try scoring inside the circle and not out side.
I don't know if any of it will work for sure. I know glass breaks if it gets hot and is cooled to fast or if it gets to cold and is heated to fast. So heating it then hitting it with some cold water or ice etc should cause it to thermally shock and just fall out in one round disk with the rest intact
When I worked for a glass company, I would always use a drill with a diamond hole saw bit and water to cut through plate glass.
I love brians mr robot impression its always on point lol
ONE cut all the way around to score it. Then tap edge with ball. A sharp rap will discharge the circle. Leave the suction cup on it. Breathe on cup before applying vacuum. Moisture makes the cup stick better. Go to the glass shop and show them this video! After they stop laughing, maybe they will give you proper tips! lol
Love the editing!
try scoring only one time around (but applay enough pressur to make a good and pronounced scor) and then tap the glass confidently but not to hard all around to make the glass crack through to the other side (you will kind of be able to see it crack if you look closely) and dont tap randomly around tap in the same area and when the crack form then make it grow by tapping at the end of the crack until it has crackt all the way around and try using the ball side for tapping and get to tapping as fast as possible after scoring if you wait to long the crack won`t form
After making the circle, make a pizza inside the circle (ie: divide the circle into eighths by scoring it in half, then those halves into quarters, then those quarters into eighths; when you score with the non-circle one. That helps break the circle apart. It doesn't make it all plunk out in a single hole but it does leave a nice circular hole.
Jason: This is rubbish, It's not working.
Brian: You might as well be walking on the sun. 😋😅
