What Tools are Needed to Cut Glass?
To cut glass, it is important to have the right types of tools. Some argue that an oil filled glass cutter is the best type of cutter to have for the job. The refillable handle of this type of cutter helps lubrication and therefore can help the cutting process. Others prefer to control the distribution of oil themselves. There are two basic handle designs to choose from when selecting a glass cutter: the regular grip and the pistol grip. The regular grip simply has a long straight handle. The pistol grip has a bent handle like that of a gun handle. This design requires less pressure to make an effective cut. Those with weaker wrist strength often prefer this tool.
