I needed a special size mirror for a project I am doing. I couldn't find the size I needed anywhere, So I was going to buy a larger mirror and cut it down. I found the American Glass and Mirror CZcams tutorial about glass cutting. Guy did such a good job on the tutorial, I decided to call them up and see if they had the needed size. I was able to purchase the size needed and not worry about possibly breaking up a larger mirror. Nice "Guy", great service.
your video was really helpful - I've had my share of challenges trying to save glass and re-using it by cutting it. I hope this helps w my next project...and thanks for having a sense of humor - you a funny guy, Guy ! peace...
Excellent demonstration video...nice work and a new subscriber 109 Prefer the hybrid Toyo w/TC17 straight & 600 cutting heads for heavy plate Haven't tried cooking oil...used engine oil and/or transmission fluid with success even antifreeze with near freezing temperatures
Thanks for educated and not a boring video:) My question is; can I use olive/canola oils instead of what u mentioned ? coz just going to use one time for a piece of mirror I don't wanna keep purchasing things for little diy project, Thanks
I'm sure this is a great lesson in glass cutting. I know absolutely nothing about it so my thoughts amount to what I blame my dog for even though I'm the one who stepped in it . . . However if the very expensive pro cutter works no better than the $3 cutter, it may not be a professional . . . And I couldn't get any farther after I was told about everything I wouldn't have or anything close to it.

Cheers, that was really useful - especially the end part about the sound a new cutter should make.
Really helpful info at the end about the sounds and visuals to look for. Thanks!
Awesome video editing + great tutorial
Super helpful! I'll comment again if I end up in the ER.

You are a hell of a cutter
Motor oil would be a better option that you might have handy. We haven't tried cooking oils before. If you try it, let me know how it goes!
Thank you , 4sure I'll let u know if works out ;)

Almost became a plumber because I always heard every woman wants a man that knows how to lay pipe
if the cut is white the mirror does not break
so it looks like a scratch
a toyo cuter was good
actually Joe I have everything that you have I'm 18 and own better cutters than you . which you dont have
