Diamond Lapidary Saw Blades for Cutting Stone - Size 6" X .36mm X 1/2" - Perfect for Jewelers and Crafters People have been cutting glass for centuries to commemorate special occasions: weddings, coronations, religious events, and other ceremonies. Glass cutters are decorative craftsman tools that are used to enhance events and beautify objects large and small.To cut glass with a Dremel use a Dremel bit that is specifically for cutting glass. The 545 Diamond Wheel is good for straight lines, and the 663DR bit is good for drilling holes in glass. Before cutting the glass, place tape along where you want to cut, draw an outline, and run the piece underwater as you cut. Gravity-fed cutters can leak when you’re not using them since they operate on gravity. Storing them with the sharp end up is a good way to cut yourself next time you reach for them, but it’s the only way to keep the oil from running out and making a mess. To stay safe, top your glass cutter with a pen cap when not in use. Doing projects involving cutting glass into new shapes, such as reforming mirrors for custom bathroom installations or creating DIY mosaics, calls for the wheel bit.

Glass is very unforgiving. Always measure carefully before cutting glass. Mind the old saying: “Measure twice, cut once.”Eye protection: JORESTECH Eyewear Protective Safety Glasses- Eye protection is paramount. Tiny shards of glass are an inevitable byproduct of cutting glass. They’ll fly through the air when you break the glass and are sometimes too small to be visible. But you’ll feel them if one of them lands in your eye. Be smart and always wear protective eyewear, like these JORESTECH Eyewear Protective Safety Glasses. Advantages of a tile saw: they will cut tiles professionally, but there is no use for other (rougher and more abrasive) materials. These machines are cheaper, lighter and easier to carry around and store. This saw is a perfect choice for a small and very specific project that does not involve hard materials. After you mark your intended cut line, use a hard-edged cutting guide. A soft piece of wood often works best for this purpose, as it will guide the blade but won’t scratch the glass. Note: your cutting guide needs to be longer than the longest cut you’ll make.
