I am sure there are experts on here that know all about glass cutting.. Is there a way to reliably cut old window glass?. I have cut new glass with no trouble but old glass just seems to have completely changed properties and will not break on the score the way I think it should.. If there is a trick to it I sure would like to know.. I have plenty of old window glass and hate to go buy a new piece when it would be simple to cut one to the size I need..

Thanks

Carol

One important thing.... make sure the glass is clean.

Under water, with sheers.

Carol, Make sure your glass cutter wheel is free and turns easily. If not free it up if possible so it won't skip when run it across the glass. I also have a small paintbrush with kerosine on it that i run along the straightedge before I run the cutter along it. Old glass is harder to cut but with a good cutter, lubrication, and firm steady pressure you should get more good cuts than bad.

I use a carbide tipped scribe for making the mark there is a deep cut and breaks cleanly.

Wow Jake,

If that carbide tipped scribe makes for successful cutting of old glass, especially thick old glass, I want one. Where'd you get it? Or is it something you made? I do OK, with a good wheel and lubrication, up to 1/4" but not after that.
