Does this use cut glass crystal or molded glass?

I can't say for sure, just because it says Crystal chandelier, does that mean it could be glass? No matter, I absolutely love, love, love this chandelier! I bought a spray and drip cleaner, and after 6 months, I did clean it, "just because" and I will say, it's glistening. And very easy to "spray and let drip". However, hubby did spend 12 hours putting it together, which is why I would only go with the spray method of cleaning, and not taking it down and taking it apart to clean. And if it's not shiny, it can't be beautiful. I feather dust it every other week and that's it. I would think if it were crystal it would be more than $300, but I really don't know.

To be honest, I don't really know. Although they call it French Empire Crystal Chandelier, I kind of doubt it crystal, since the chandelier is cheap. But it's very beautiful. I just don't like that the frame is bright gold. Hopefully it will fade over time.

I mostly use it for metal. I've tried one drinking glass. The cut is fairly shallow so it won't be a sand blast effect which would be deeper. If you try different bits and use heavier glass, you might get better results.

I honestly don't know... All I can tell you is that we have had the glass on our kitchen table for over a year, and it has been a perfect replacement for the one we broke by accident. I would try to contact the manufacturer if this is important for you. We have had no issues with ours though- that is all I can tell you... Hope this is helpful.....

I bought the crystal because it is healthier than drinking from glass than plastic. Besides glass carfes do not have a wear out date like the plastic carfes do - they are only good for about 2 years (they have expiation dates on them). Spend the extra and go the glass route! I L O V E mine!

They will cut glass, but be very care for the cutter can brake and send glass all over you. Please have a face shied on.

I don't know about crystal vs glass but they are definitely not plastic and are very pretty.

Sharp enough? It is made of tempered glass. However, you do have the ability to simply take the glass top off and use the table without it. Hope this helps!

I guess you can take it to a glass place (that can cut glass or lucite) and have it cut down to fit your needs.

ours are definitely plastic, which is what I prefer - in our household glass would break sooner rather than later... these still look very nice, not at all foggy or scratched.

I believe its glass pieces. It looks nice but the lights are above the crystals so you don't get the simmering effect I'd hoped...

Hi Suzie:No, there is no built-in cutter. I use scissors to cut the plastic to the size I want and then seal where needed.

It will definitely cut glass. If you buy a 10" for cutting glass(readily available at tile stores) you will get a cleaner cut. The big question is how to do it safely. Cutting a piece of flat tile is not problem. A curved item that doesn't sit flat on the cutting bed may be dicey. You don't want it to move around and possibly bind and break the bottle. Figuring out a way to cut it without bottle moving around is your issue. Don't have an answer for that, but I bet you could figure it out. The saw will cut the glass bottle though.

I am sorry I have no idea, I purchased it to use with glass and fusing, it did not work for me with that project idea. Donald Martz

Glass, as it should be. Good question. I would also recommend you buy the ASAP Silver Solution Applicator Kit to go with it.

No. Glass etching is done with diamond or carbide tips on a rotary device (like a Dremel) that rotates the tip to score or cut away bits of the glass. This is a heat device that will slice through plastics to create a stencil. Search through Amazon or Google for "diamond burr set." Another way to etch glass is to sandblast or to chemically etch the glass with something like Armour Etch.

You must first drill a hole for the center of this tool to pivot in a circle. The dremel bit then cuts the circle. I do not know if there is a glass cutting bit for this tool. I have only used this on wood and plastic

I've never cut china but the nippers are wonderful for cutting glass. Very easy to use. For the most part I use them to clip off the pointy edges of glass and to clip strips of glass into smaller pieces. Honestly, it's my new favorite tool. For specifically shaped glass I use a glass cutter and the tool that causes the glass to break on my scored line. I wish I could be more helpful... I've only thought about working with china but haven't yet gotten around to it. Good luck to you...
