Glass cutter – precision for perfect glass edges 

Glass cutters are indispensable tools for craftsmen and DIY enthusiasts who need to cut glass to individual requirements. Whether it's window glass, mirrors or glass panels for creative projects - a high-quality glass cutter ensures clean cuts without breakage. Their ease of use makes them the ideal companion for precise work.

Applications of glass cutters 

Glass cutters are versatile and suitable for numerous applications:

• Decorative works:For glass designs such as mosaics or mirror cuts.
• Renovations:Perfect for replacing damaged glass panels.
• craft projects:Ideal for creative DIY enthusiasts who work with glass.

How a glass cutter works 

Glass cutters work with a cutting head made of hardened steel or tungsten carbide that scores the glass. The cut is made by applying even pressure along the desired line. The blade does not cut the glass itself, but weakens the surface so that it can be broken cleanly along the line. Modern models often have ergonomic handles that make them easier to handle and enable precise cuts.

Care and tips for clean cuts 

Proper care is crucial to ensure that a glass cutter remains reliable. The cutting head should be checked regularly for wear and replaced if necessary. A clean glass surface ensures precise results, and working on a stable surface prevents unwanted breakage. For beginners, it is worth practicing with leftover pieces beforehand to get a feel for the right pressure and how to guide the tool. With a high-quality glass cutter, even demanding glass projects can be completed - precisely, efficiently and safely.
