Wet Saw? Can you recommend one good for very thick glass cutting?
If you don’t know what a wet saw is, please don’t try to reccomend one. Are there any constrution worker, contractors, ect out there???
Thanks for the try MP, but GLASS not GRASS.
Can’t outsource this, we will be using it to cut glass for skylights on a regular basis and the glass is too thick for the regular snap method. Its a safety glass, kinda like the glass on car winshields, but thicker.
couple of things; is the glass double pane i.e. thermo-pane?
cant cut, unless you cut apart the two pieces of glass.
if it is safety glass is it tempered or laminated? those are the only two types. if tempered like car windows (doors/ rear) you cannot cut it cut period. it will shatter no ifs ands or buts.
if it is laminated like a car windshield its two pieces laminated together. standard is two 1/8″ to make a 1/4″. it may be thicker but rare. you can use a regular hand held glass cutter. first you score and run one side then flip glass and score and run right over same spot slowly let glass sag where you ran it then carefully use a razor to cut the lamination. its tricky and harder to do on old glass. if glass doesnt sag use denatured alcohol on score and light it softens up the lamination.
