Most DIY'ers would want to wear gloves wouldn't they?

Why are you using a Pattern cutter (TC-17) for straight cutting ?

Hi! I spent two hours yesterday trying to cut thick mirror. What a mess! I couldn't get it to snap along the entire length of the score. I used tile nippers for the rest of the length. Terrible mess. Ruined a lot of mirror! HELP ... I have a lot more to cut tonight.

You're inspiring me to want do mirror cutting. Had no clue what mirror cutting is or do until I just stumbled over to your video and the ideas just popping up in my head and since I am always about being creative, I think I am going to do some kind of mirrors cutting for my odd job and cut mirrors into shape of letters, so anyone can put their own name of mirrors on their wall to make the home look good.

How much did the cutter cost? If I use a meter stick is that alright? Because I only want to cut a mirror once for a project I'm doing. And what kind of glue should I use to glue on a mirror to wooden furniture? Thanks! I found this video very helpful!

i am having a lot of trouble trying to cut a 1/4 in mirror to specific dimensions... is there any tool or any special technique to cutting glass... im doing everything u r in the video... but when i go to snap it... it snaps in curves... is there a power tool or some other way to cut this mirror?

No, a glass cutter does the best job. It does take some practice.
It takes a new guy about 6 weeks to get really good at it.
Keep practicing, and good luck.

wow. great video tutorial. But what would you do with slightly thicker mirror?
Do you recommend a particular type of cutting oil?
Beautiful cut...I'm laughing at all the miserable effort I went to before watching your vid.

@MovingUpp 1/8 and 1/4 is typical. same technique used in both. 1/4 just is a little harder to snap. Crl sells a oil used for cutters, but any real thin oil works fine.
good luck
