How to do glass cutting?

Here at ShottGlass, taking into account factors such as glass type, thickness, quantity, etc., we will formulate different cutting plans and adopt corresponding cutting methods to achieve the best glass cutting effect. The following are several main methods:

Glass Cutting by Ordinary Glass Cutter

Tools preparations:Ordinary glass cutter, straight edge or ruler, and cutting oil.

Advantages: This is a simple and low-cost method, mainly used in some small-scale glass cutting, especially suitable for small size and thin glass.

Disadvantages:Due to low processing efficiency and poor precision, this manual cutting method is not suitable for large-scale cutting processing, and it is easy to damage the glass when cutting thicker glass. It cannot cut some complex shapes and the cutting quality depends on the operator's technical proficiency.

Glass Cutting by Glass T Shape Cutter

Tools preparations:T shape cutter, glass platform and cutting oil.

Advantages:The tools are a low-cost one and large-scale cutting is available. It is more efficient in cutting than ordinary glass cutters.

Disadvantages:This is also a manual cutting method and only for straight line cutting. The cutting quality depends on the operator’s technical proficiency. It has a high labor cost.

Glass Cutting by Fully Automatic Glass Cutting Machine

Tools preparations:Fully automatic glass cutting machine.

Advantages:This method has high cutting efficiency and good product precision, and is suitable for almost all standard sizes and thicknesses of flat glass. Machine cutting is simple to operate and greatly reduces labor costs. In addition, it can be applied to the cutting of some polygonal or arc-shaped designs.

Disadvantages:The equipment cost is high and some complex cutting schemes cannot be completed.

Glass Cutting by Waterjet

Tools preparations:CNC-controlled waterjet cutter and high-pressure water pump.

Advantages:It can process irregular glass and is suitable for cutting complex graphics with high cutting precision. This method is also commonly used for glass drilling and notching.

Disadvantages:The equipment is some expensive and the production efficiency is low.

Glass Cutting by Lazer Cutting Machine

Tools preparations:Lazer cutting machine.

Advantages:Suitable for cutting very complex graphics with high process precision and smooth edge. It can be used for glass drilling.

Disadvantages:The equipment is expensive and has a high maintenance cost.
