How to cut glass wearing a tie
5:48 "blunt cutting angle of 158 degree", mmmm, on free hand +- 0.5 degree
This guy should make more videos
That is VERY impressive, I cut glass for display cases frequently, and this is by far the most adept cut I've ever seen.
I do glass also but thats was the thickest glass I have ever seen. I usually order the thick stuff precut, let the big companies eat waste
@@ZipSnipe You still pay for that waste ;P
This gentleman is using high end glass tools I could only dream about .
Meanwhile I still employ the hammer and chisel method for chase/ running the glass.
Big Frank is a *LEGEND!!!*
I'm going to listen to this video near bed time from now on.
So is this the first ASMR ?
10 - 15 Kg. of cutting pressure is more than I would have expected was needed. Thank you for an excellent tutorial!
I started in 1971 when I was 14, the apprenticeship was 7 years then. I turn the piece over on the bench and try to press or tap on the back of the cut to open it, then run it round with a hardwood 'pusher' or the handle of a cutter.
So long as the initial opening of the cut is dead square it can make a 90d edge all round, leaving very little to polish or ariss out.
One cut to the edge, then spring the cullet out like a circlip and lift it away .
If an American could afford these tools I'd be amazed.
Yet this is the best method I've seen.
Who needs protective equipment when you have a pair of glasses and decades of experience? :D
Awesome video and description, I never knew this is how to break glass properly.
Only un-skilled waste their time like this clown did
Well I don't care what others say!! That was one hell of a professional job...yikes 19mm clean cut circle, GOOD JOB!!
Ok, As the foremost circle cutter in our shop I use a different method when it comes to breaking (opening) the initial score. Depending on the size of the piece I'm cutting I prefer to flip the piece over and apply firm pressure directly over the score line on our carpeted table. This way the break originates directly form the score line and does not run towards the score line from wherever the impact tool(as shown in this video) strikes the glass. You can see a degree of wavering in the edge of the piece as he is using the glass tapper 4:11 After the entire circle has been "opened" I flip the sheet over again and open (break) the circle again using the same method from the scored side. Same method to remove the off-cuts after that.
+RickBo,
This is exactly how I do it at the shop too.
RickBo in my shop, my cutter personnel just impacts the glass below the score line with a motor valve (very precise personnel), the proceeds to slightly bend the glass to make the separation run along with the score. No wavering whatsoever.
I do the same. No need for all those extra gadgets
sounds interesting but (as a totally novice) I can't quite imagine everything you're describing...any chance of uploading a video of how you do it?
@@perspectivex unfortunately not, it's been a few years since my glass shop shut down. We had a carpet topped table; supports the glass with just a little give. just like this video use a circle cutter to score the top side, then pull to an edge and pivot the glass to vertical on the table edge and flip it around then lay it down again. Then press with your thumb directly over the score line and the glass will crack from score line to the now top-side. Once it's opened (or cracked) all the way around, flip it again and repeat to ensure it's opened all the way through. Then it's just a matter of cutting the excess off.
Smoooth cut!
And this is so wonderfully German! :D
This video was very interesting and informative! Thank you so much!
AmAziNg.. That was a serious chunk of glass.. This is not their first rodeo :O) Thank you for the video.
Hey Presto... now, that's real magic!
Is it weird that Ive been watching this video every so often for a decade?
I don't know how I got here and I don't know how I just watched this full video....lol. so satisfying
score creates a weak point in the glass to promote a crack. most fragile part of the run are where the circle is closest to the edge of the glass plate. The least clean portions of the run are start and end . Start the circle near a corner. Then "iffiest" portion of your run is farthest from the edge of the glass plate. Breaks form to relieve tension. plate glass has a tension gradient lowest is at edge. The farther the edge the smaller the tension gradient near your line.
excellent video, very informative. thankyou. cheers from Michael Australia.
Thanks now I can steal artifacts from a museum
Well, if you can reach both sides of the glass why not just grab it anyways :P
Edit: I didn't even realize how old this comment was, whoops
Excellent technique. Excellent video. Thank you!
Nice cutting sir
Fascinating, captivating video. I wonder how many attempts had the manufacturers to go through before getting the most reliable method.
Always a pleasure to watch a professional at work.
Seems like the variable of the tapper can be interesting are there settings on the tool like say a torch wrench may have? When you mention the outer surface being perfect I see waves in the edge of the cut. It seems it would be smoother like seen on a good square cut.
+Lew Sou torch wrench lol.... torque
LOL When I worked for my Dad he was in the glass and mirror business plus custom picture framing. He freaked me out taking a hand crank drill and a drill bit and drilling through 1/4 inch mirror using kerosene. That hooked me on machine type work . I got good with large mirrors and glass using a hand diamond wheel cutter. I was used to cuts on my hands and worked hard for him. Like your setup very much. We had a oval manual mat cutter to cut the oval matting for around pictures. I did every aspect of the biz less accounting before 17. Accounting was Mom's job and we stayed away from her money! LOL
John a torch anything might be a lot more fun than a silly worn out torx or even a torque wrench anyway. I remember the Wizzard of Oz when I think the witch held up something on fire and asked the scarecrow "You want a little FIRE Scarecrow"? LOL
someone buying this equipment would probably be using it for their own small business.
MUY BUEN TUTORIAL .buena herrmienta , lo incomodo la corbata. saludos
I enjoyed that watching that, thanks for sharing
Outstanding demo!
cảm ơn đã chia sẻ những kinh nghiệm cắt tuyệt vời
This is great. Awesome video. Thank you
That's awesome!!
I was watching shoulder's work out before I learned how to cut glass
And all while wearing a tie...
would you be able to display how to sacrificing the center piece while saving the outside which was sacrificed in this clip. that would be very useful. Thanks in advance.
Gotta love that German ingenuity
Danke,Deutschland !!
Where do i buy these tools
Wonderful My Friend i like for you 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I'm amazed how the glass breaks perpendicular to the surface that was scored.
path of least resistance ma niggaaa
Yes I know that. But that statement comes after the fact. We know it's the path of least resistance but can you tell me which way it was going to break by pretending you didn't know what was going to happen? That is, what makes a path the least resistive in glass?
+Jason Axford The path of least resistance is typically the shortest one. And the shortest line to the opposite side of the score is a perfectly perpendicular one. Other factors can influence the path of the break such as placement of the pressure or tool used to open it in relation to the initial score; or quality or defects in the glass.
Now that's much better than "ma niggaaa". Thank you RickBo.
Freakin brilliant. Wonder how many pieces he broke before he learned that?
you aqui Brasil ✌
Beautiful cuting
Very very nice
outstanding!!!
Magnificent! Will the kit allow one to accomplish straight lights in the same fashion!?
Wooow I love this
Interesting to see but if I needed a round glass cut I think I will take it to waterjet cutters.
very good work
Great tool.
Very nice
Good Job, Thanks for the view.
Very good

Thank to this video I can finally pronounce zilbernich
Yezz ,yezzz. My cup noddles is done !
Nice
Thanks
I would like to see a video on how to cut a circle in a window pane to install an Xpelair ventilator.
nice job!
Where can i buy this tool?
@ MA KA if I'm correct this is more of a controller break rather then a cut. I'm sure there are better methods to cutting glass but they are trying to achieve a certain texture.
+Robert Cano well, you're right, but as far as glass cutting theory: you can't "cut" glass. Glass breaks, and what we call glass cutting is, in fact, careful and controlled breaking. The method of Scoring, then either applying pressure or a sharp impact or shock is what is used to "cut" glass down to requested sizes.
ahhh, no
Bang kalau beli alatnya bagaimana dan berapa?
clap clap! bravo!
Perfect Mr White :) sayy myyy naaame
So can I do this on a window mission impossible style and remove the glass circle from the window using a plunger or something?
somngfghsßsssssßsssssssgfguiifgjihhojghhhhbbjmmm GB j
"final tapping needs to be done from the both sides" and sides need to be pulled away to release the peace, not to mention such glass in high security areas would be laminated glass (though spurting alcohol spree to cut and setting it fire will melt the film, but if its 3 layer laminated glass there is still middle section that you cant cut)
Essentially answer is no, you cant do it, its just hollywood film magic. Only high power laser would be able to do this, or glass would need to be extremely thin and those places you can get with walking in from the front door..
Just like every one else you misunderstood the video.It is not about cutting hole in the glass but cutting a circular piece of glass,and the difference is very big.Holes or any shapes are usually cut out of a sheet of glass with waterjet.It cuts a couple of mill out of the glass and that is how you can pull out the what ever shape you are cutting.
Dustoe McDust absolutely not
for the booth sides problem you could build a hammertool which strikes away from the glas (sucking impulse)
I didn't hear him say, but I think the 1st pass w/ the tapper was done w/ the score still facing up. Is that correct?
can it through bulletproof glass like that from the mona lisa?
Very Impressive!
Good thing they are wearing safety goggles while breaking glass towards their face.
I was thinking the same thing! hehe
uh, and what do you think they cut it with? This is meant to be used by professionals
cool video.
I want to know how careful you have to be when sanding the cut sharp edges smooth and see it done because I have a project I'm working on now with 1/4" glass that I need to finish soon.
Be lot careful
The master has been vaccinated against glass cuts since he was a child. Started out with nicks on his hands and worked up to paper cuts.
How can I buy this kit and how much it is cost? Im am in Brasil
Did you get this kit ?and how much did you pay?
I,m from Egypt and I need to buy those tools as well
THE glass Ninja...
Impressive.
everything is modern
in my country
everything is manual
very little modern technology
Good style Round cutting
Devi Glass welcome to see our glass machine working video , it is easy to cut that round for 2mm to 12mm thickness glass
He could have used a mallet too. No need for the fancy-pants breaking tool.
+Rami Shinnawi Ehh, accuracy. I mean you could achieve the desired results with a punch and mallet, but tools like these (there are cheaper simpler ones that work just as well) allow you to define your impact point before striking more easily than smacking it with a hammer. not saying I'd use one of these tools though.
he could have used his head too, no need for fany-pants tool @@0heydude0
Woww...it great....where the product come from...
Amazing!
i'm ready to steal gems
Alexis corzas santiago But how do you tap from the inside of the glass?
HydromaniacCat No one said it had to be a clean cut.
+Kenton Lee the Blue Heart Diamond is a useless acquisition if you don't have a face
So good!
those glass tappers are a whopping $500, damn
you can do that manually , using like a small hammer
This looks like a ‘front’ for purchasing burglary tools!!
Why do they only sell to companies and not to ordinary people?
With my hands so close to breaking glass I would wear gloves and safety goggles.
Yeah but you're not *BIG FRANK*...!! (Big Frank, I love you)
Because all glass will attack bare skin.
Linh Nguyen that's why your not a glazier
It's not that dangerous once you understand how sharp edges hurt.
He do not need gloves and goggles, he have a tie
Cutting glass is serious business.
Onde consigo comprar esse equipamento? Será q vende aqui no Brasil?
I want to buy it
in most cases people have to cut a hole in a glass instead, which is more difficult
Still looking for that mission impossible style cutter
Special cutting fluid = water.
Been a union glazier 20 years .its an oil not water
I use a petroleum based liquid.
alcohol too
@@aaronv169 How thin of an oil is needed? Would sewing machine , honing or mineral oil work if it needs to be a low viscosity? Just what purpose does the oil serve, is it for the glass or the cutter?
just use a damn rock. were all here for the same reason, we want to see how secret agents do it
If you use anything but a zilbershnidt tool during the process the whole thing catches on fire and your goldfish dies.
شيئ جميل
Catter price and name
Now let's see Big Frank do it with bluebow68 and axa88888 arguing in the background!
I have worked in glass for years.. Glass is one of the most difficult thing to cut perfectly..
Ever see someone on a Movie cut a hole in a Window??? Not so easy as it looks..
I've only recently gotten into the glass business, and float glass is easy going up to laminate no so easy
+Shogun_ CNC... It is done this way making Car Glass... No hands touch the glass either...
UltraLiteSpeed1 welcome to look at our glass machine working video
I think you will find that a JCB does a rather good job.
UltraLiteSpeed1 ain't gonna happen...I watched this dip shit try to cut temper for half an hour....supposed journeyman
