Instructions
1
Put on the safety goggles and the heavy gloves for protection.
2
Measure and mark a straight line on the thick glass where you want to cut it. A grease pencil works well for marking glass.
3
Place some light oil or kerosene on an old cloth. Run the glass cutter slowly across the cloth so the wheel picks up a coating of the oil.
4
Hold the glass cutter firmly between your thumb and finger. Apply a slight pressure as you score the thick glass carefully along the line using the glass cutter.
5
Place the thick piece of glass on a table or work bench that has a straight, hard edge. Align the scored line up with the hard edge. Push down quickly to break the glass.
6
Familiarize yourself with the wet saw, and follow the instructions in the owner's manual before you use it. This machine is an electric saw built into a table. It uses a diamond blade to cut material like ceramic tiles and glass. Water sprays onto the blade as the wet saw cuts to keep the blade cool.
7
Adjust the rip fence on the saw so the blade lines up with the mark you made on the thick glass.
8
Hold the glass firmly as you use the wet saw to cut thick glass. Push it slowly against the blade with both hands, but don't force it.
9
Cut the thick glass all the way through, then turn the wet saw off.
