I have recently started working with stained glass. could pliers nip off protruding jagged edges left after a cut to decrease time grinding?

Hi Judy It will be better to use designated glass cutters I use Montolit it is an Italian cutter you get a cleaner cut and less grinding as a result. These tile cutters which are great for ceramics will crush the glass rather than cut.

I never tried cutting glass . It might work if you went really slow on the cut but I wouldn't think it would work.

You can't. Your best bet is to "rough Cut" the sections with a small hand-held saw and then "fine tune" them with the cutter for a nice finished edge.

Not sure how thick the plates were that I cut, but they cut better than anything else I have ever used for glass. I have cut mostly plates, and I'm sure they aren't 3/8" thick. Thats almost 1/2". Pretty thick for nippers. I would think a tile saw might be best for that size.

Yes. I used tin snips - but you could use OLD scissors. It will certainly dull new ones. Or garden snips.

I haven't used it much, but it is small. Probably best suited for thicknesses of one or two pieces of stained glass stacked and cutting intricate shapes. Might be faster than all the cuts necessary with a regular hand held cutter. Other than that my suggestion would be a larger type wet saw with rotary diamond blade...maybe even industrial size with a 10 inch blade. Probably would be faster, and blade last much longer. Just my opinion though. best regards

You can easily get a piece of acrylic or glass cut at the hardware store. Just make sure you have the exact dimensions, including the thickness of the glass.

The cutter's are pretty good, but not like a knife so some of the edges may be jagged, need to press down in one place for cleaner cut.

None of the blades that came with the tool were designed for cutting glass. I would assume that you would need a diamond blade of some sort to do that.

I got a pair of tin snips and made 4 cuts half way in the cylinder in a cross pattern. Then bent them in or out as needed with a plier. Another option is to wrap electrical tape around the cylinder. Hand press only on the edges if possible. Louvers are very soft and even a rubber mallet will seal them shut and will have to reopen them with a screwdriver or other flat edge tool.

My thoughts is, the teeth on the saw will grab the plastic like material and shatter or split the plastic. I've cut plasiglass with a controlled sabre saw and if you're not carful, you can split or crack the material. Maybe go as slow as possible cutting it ...if can test..do that first.

I must use tin snips and if the edges are rough file them down a little. Hacksaw might work as well if you take the rubber out and cut the rubber separately with scizzors.

I think this saw would work for you, just keep your fingers away from the blade. I bought mine to use to cut metal strips to use in stained glass projects. Good luck.

Sorry, I've never tried that. I would think it would be something that could be done, if you had some kind of glass cutting blade on your tool.
