Here's a tip from an old glazier, replace your safety circle with a safety triangle and it will all simply fall out, this will eliminate the need or risk of having to break out the second circle and it's quicker.
Great video. I cut a cat flap into a old patio door today. Everything appeared to be going ok until I discovered it wasn't a single pane of glass, it was two panes with plastic sandwiched between them. It isn't pretty under there and took a couple of hours but I managed to chip it away to the outer circle and the flap covered it all up. Mum was happy and will never know but OMG was it a messy ball ache - be careful out there people.
That was awesome 👌 keep it up, very professional No on going talk about this n that, straight to the point easy to understand and explain why n what your doing a great presentation
Great video without any nonsense trying to sale you specialised tool and lubricant, Well done one of the best glass cutting video on youtube, Thank you.
I have an old aquarium that is going to now be a vivarium. The tank is 5 foot long. The glass is 12mm thick. I want to cut out a 2 foot x 10 inch long rectangle, down from the top - so I only have to make 3 cuts, the 2 foot along the bottom of the rectangle and the 2 sides @ 10 inches. I have various sized glass cutting bits. I have a glass scorer. Would I be able to grind 2 holes, 10 inches from the top and 2 foot apart, then score between the holes, then score from the holes up to the top and then just tap it out? Hope that makes sense. Admittedly, there's possibly some wishful thinking going on. Thank you. Andrew
Hi Daud, I think you would struggle to do this in 12 mm glass, it is possible but I have never done it in glass that thick, if you are going to cut 12 mm glass just make sure it is not toughened as this cannot be cut.
Thank you! Upon watching your video, I assume that you need to "tap" the scored glass circle on the underside of the glass. Meaning on the opposite side that you scored with the glass cutter (like I see in the video). I am cutting a circle on one pane of a double-pane window glass and the underside is not accessible. Does this explain why it doesn't work when I tap the scored side? Best Regards, p.s. It might explain some of the questions you were previously getting.?.? The circle is my first step at breaking and removing the glazed in defective pane. IT IS NOT AN IGU! Tnx!
Thank you for this... and help me pray today.. I bought a HUGE glass cabinet to build a paludarium.. 140cmx120cmx50.. And i need to cut a 15cm hole into the side to be able to reach the electronics after it is set up... I might have taken a little to large of a bite to chew because i cant lay it flat to cut a hole into it.. but ok,, it either works or it cracks and the whole thing will have to go to the scrapyard haha.. Thank you for this video very clear explenation, ill try and go about it like you showd,, thanks again
How'd it go lol. I want to try this on my PC cases side panel because my CPU cooler is just barely too wide for my new case, so the case is just slightly open at the top, I mean it still works and is able to look like it's closed but I want to cut a perfect circle around the CPU air cooler so I can put the side panel all the way on XD. spent 2100 bucks on all these parts and don't wanna get a new case cuz I like it.
@tarantulamadness6191 lol , I'm here for the same reason, I want to put a 200mm fan in the side panel , but yeah , apparently temperd glass the whole sheet will just shatter. Next option to replace the glass with plastic polycarbonate and cut a hole in that.
Don't ever make any kind of cut in the windows of a motor vehicle. The side and rear windows are tempered and will instantly shatter into tiny shards if you make the smallest cut.
Hello, question, what if you want to use the inside of the circle? Meaning, save center and get rid of the loop? And to further the complexity make all this in a glass the size of a watch
If while opening the cut, your cut shoots out toward the outer circle, is there any way to continue? I still have about 1/3 of my circle to open and can't seem to get it back on track.
Hi , the outer circle is a stop for the cut , if all the cuts are open the crack that shoots off toward the outer should stop at that open cut, you can just carry on ..
@@craftsmanglass6699 Oh, it broke. It seemed like the circles weren't score as visibly as yours. The crack went first to the outer circle then straight past and to the edge...back to a new piece of glass. Thanks for your help!
Hi Dave , it does take a bit of practice ,, but the main thing is to make sure you open the cut all around , this stops the glass cut running through the whole thing, hope this helps .
Not bad please excuse me. I have been cutting many years. From me you need to change that wheel in circle Cutter, you need to apply less pressure on the cut, you need to use cutting oil, you need to use a oil filled cutter again less pressure, for me I use the rubgy ball saftey lines technique, I turn the glass and use pressure to open the cut rather then hitting the hole open like that,, the Chris Cross lines must be with oil, as before a new cutter will open cut lines easyier and thus glass with fall with ease and put less pressure on vent hole, for me the rugby ball lines act as safety lines, tap the middle and work middle first so not to have shells. Much appreciated for video. You got it out, 😉

What is a "safety triangle"? Could you please add a link to tools? Thank you
@@t.n.1953 just draw a fckin triangle with your cutter inside the big circle
Thank you. Both of you.
How would you perforate a watches glass? With a tiny glass cutter?
Thank you both so much!! This video and the triangle tip were so helpful, excited to finally get a project done thanks to this!!
Clear and simple and quick. Thanks. Fingers crossed!

i wondered about this, looked impossible for a while, but perfect in end!
Thank you very much for this easy method.
Thank you for sharing I've never seen it done like that before
In the movies it seems faster and quieter lol
Thank you Paul
Great video without any nonsense trying to sale you specialised tool and lubricant, Well done one of the best glass cutting video on youtube, Thank you.
Hi Paul, thank you for this video, could a circle be extended to a square cut out
Thank you!
Thanks, needed to know how to do this. What sort of sand paper would you recommend to soften the edges so they don't cut something passing through?
If its float glass i would use the finest but by hand is going too be difficult cause of time use. Ide use a thin high grade epoxy too dull the edges

Nevermind it is tempered glass lol. Screw it.

Well done.
A question: can you cut the grounded glass in a similar way? Thanks
nice and clean
What would happen if you cut the glass twice? Or even three or four times to deepen the score mark?
Could you do the same but Square hole in 30mm non tempered glass??
Can you do the same thing cutting a circle in a glass door?
Great vid. If I wanted to put a window inside my current fixed van windows.. meaning a window within a window! how could that be done? Any ideas?
Don't ever make any kind of cut in the windows of a motor vehicle. The side and rear windows are tempered and will instantly shatter into tiny shards if you make the smallest cut.
Very convenient. Now you can try with Cloud Laser equipment. )))
That was gold
Do you think this will work on 75 year old glass window panes?
good works
nice explanation for glass hole cutting
That’s great thank you , hope it helps
You need links to tools supplies who will pay you nice commision, could be Amazon. Thansk so much for the advice.
Is this tempered glass?
Will this work for window glass?
How thick is the maximum that we are able to cut?
Hello, question, what if you want to use the inside of the circle? Meaning, save center and get rid of the loop? And to further the complexity make all this in a glass the size of a watch
circle and relief point at 12,3,6,9 oclock
What if I wanted the circle, not the outside?
I have cut a hole in 6.4 laminated and old quarter plate glass
Cool
Thanks sir
Will there be any issue if i do the same technique with squares?
You can’t cut a square into glass
And what type of adhesive is best for bonding glass?
Super glue if its only for art. Construction is too weld it back.or replace a new one.with a pre cut

I did it! Yeah! I used a slightly thinner piece of glass the second time. Thank you!
Us there a way ro smooth the edge aftee so no one gets cut on it?
Sanding block or white rock
thanks for the answer, yet I saw this video what you think
Unclear which side to tap.
in case of double glazing how to make the circular hole?
Hi glaucoma, you can’t do it in double glazing
@@craftsmanglass6699 LOOOOOOOL GLAUCOMA
That was actually very informative. But man, maybe some glasses of any kind? I’m still wrecking my feet on old ass glass.
Hi, Good job and your very skilled, one thing you really should be wearing safety glasses, i know this having been a glazier for many years.
can you cut a hole in 6.4 laminated
brian morton
Can you do this without removing the glass from the window?
Hi Elton , thank you for watching , Yes you can do this with the glass still glazed , it just the same .
@@craftsmanglass6699 many thanks for your prompt reply and the great support through sharing the very useful video contents! Cheers!
Is this possible with 12mm glass?
Yes just need big swan neck pliers or notching tool
Not suee if you saw but he responded above
Tried this on Victorian flow glass .. just kept cracking right through the circular cut
Hi Dave , it does take a bit of practice ,, but the main thing is to make sure you open the cut all around , this stops the glass cut running through the whole thing, hope this helps .

Zo hoort het
Need to dip your cutter in that sounds terrible but nice job
Put some safety glasses on, you must not value your eyes!
Messy shit cutting
