What Is Glass Cutting?
Glass cutting is a technique for shaping glass into specific dimensions or forms. It starts with planning the desired size or shape and marking the glass accordingly. Special tools like glass cutters then score the glass where cuts are needed. Following scoring, the glass is broken along these lines. The edges of the cut glass are subsequently polished for a smooth finish.
While glass cutting can be performed manually, machinery or advanced methods like laser cutting are also employed for precision and efficiency. The choice of method and tools depends on the glass’s thickness and type, with thicker or uniquely shaped glass often necessitating specialized equipment.
