This hand held scoring tool would never cut a windshield. Anything that has alcohol and fire in the same sentence, is not a great idea, but I bet it looks cool when it splits.

thank you sweety but i have to do cutting around small shape its dificult???????

@vzarou I have seen people doing stained glass, and I have had to cut shapes also. It's the same technique holding the cutter at a 90º angle but you have to keep even pressure and do it freehand. When the shape is all scored you need to put a score or two from the edge of the shape to the outside edge of the glass. That way the shape can fall out.

Framing supply companies online, some deliver see if there is one in your area. but a box of glass is really heavy to ship. Craft and Hobbie suppliers may sell you some. Ask a local framer, they might sell you a few sheets.

@ContigoSinTi Auto glass is very different and requires professional tools. Plus the glass is curved. Not my line of work.

Yeah, her technique work on cheap glass, but the minute you move to stained or flash-back glass, she loses credibility. You MUST use line breaks and grosing pliers for the latter mentioned glasses. Since there's no way for me to prove that I've been working with stained glass for a few years, I guess you'll have ro take my word for it.

Why did it take 6 mins to explain that? Everything that you demonstrated could have been explained in 1 min

You press to hard with the glasscutter. alot less strenght = better cut. its not cutting by force its cutting with vibrations.
