can it used to score glass for glass cutting? i need to score glass before applying pressure to break it.thx

No this has a hardened tungsten carbide tip for scribeing low carbon steel, you need a diamond tip glass cutter

Yes the tungsten carbide tip is sharp and much harder than the glass, so it would work, but a correct tool, such as one with a small pointed industrial diamond, or hardened rotating wheel will be better. Hold the 88CM at a trailing angle, tool pointed in direction of cut, against straight edge. After score place hard rod like 1/4" diameter steel bar under the glass, directly under score mark and press down, either side with leather gloved hands. Should work well enough. Mileage may vary depending on skill. Wear eye protection.

Not that I know of... this is for scribing metal, glass cutters have a little wheel to do the scoring (or diamond tip). Try TEKTON 6927 Glass Cutter

I never tought of using this little thing for scoring glass. But the idea sounds quite sensible. So I took a piece of scrap glass and tried. And, YES, it can score glass, and very well it does, indeed.

If you're skilled with glass cutting techniques...maybe? It's pretty strong glass.

While it is not designed as a glass punch I am confident it would work in the event you needed it even though it does not spring loaded. I've been a volunteer firefighter EMT for 30 years and it could definitely break the glass if it was struck in the right spot. Hope that answers your question!

I don't know. I would check online to see if Dremel makes a glass cutting bit. If not, I would check other suppliers and compare the shank size to the max that Dremel can accommodate. You may want to consider a Dremel stand so the drill bit doesn't wander on the glass as it is getting started. Good luck.

Yes, you must score the smooth surface of the resin before use. The edge of a quarter works great! Then score as needed as the surface wares down smooth again.

I only used it to cut tile which essentially has a glass coated surface . It worked very well for that . It will be dangerous , be safe .

This worked well for cutting through a 1/4" thick plate glass. Not sure how it will do on a round surface! It doesn't have a sharp point, so it may be more stable & actually do OK!

I have not used this tool to break glass but the design, with the pointed tip, is specificly made for breaking vehicle glass easily. Look on YouTube for videos on breaking auto glass. There are quite a few that should answer your question.

Hi... This tool is good to: cutting plastics, lighted ceiling tiles, laminates, and plexiglass for both construction and industrial applications. It's a heavy-duty plastic/laminate cutter designed as a scoring tool for sheet plastics and laminates, allowing for the precise breaking of plastics (exactly as a glass cutter works). If you are trying to break the fiberglass piece, this tool may work for you, but you have to consider that the fiber in the fiberglass may be difficult to "break". I think you should try with a power saw instead. Remember to use protection when you work with fiber glass. I hope this was helpful. Hi...

Yes. You have to VERY careful though. If you don't hit it hard enough it wont break. If you hit it too hard your hand could go thru the glass too. That would not be good. I hope this helps.

The cuts are only straight. I bought this and have used it a ton. However, it IS misnamed. It should be called a bottle scoring machine. The technique is to score the bottle by rotating it with only moderate pressure. 1 score bottle with moderate pressure on machine 2 rinse with cold water from tap in sink (to cool before heating) 3 slowly pour a small stream of boiling hot water (teapot works best!) DIRECTLY on crack while rotating bottle in hand to hit the entirety of the crack (use dish gloves so you don't burn yourself) A little bit at time does it, you don't need to pour the entire amount on it. A small stream of concentrated heat is what you need, not a gushing waterfall from the teapot. 4 possibly repeat cold and hot water steps 5 bottle will separate at crack and fall off if done correctly. (i also use a sink scratch guard in the bottom of the sink so the bottle top doesn't break once it falls and hits the sink) It took me a while to get the hang of it, but now I score about 20 bottles at once, and then do the water part separately and I'm done in less than 15min.

not sure. but that's not what it's for so it would be a waste. it would ruin the blade fast. there are plenty of cutter wheels specifically for metal. reserve this for glass , ceramic , stone

I never tried cutting glass . It might work if you went really slow on the cut but I wouldn't think it would work.

It will, but I would not use this tool to cut glass. A better choice would be a diamond blade on a wet saw.

Have no idea. Try it, I doubt it would harm the glass, but doubt it will clean it.

I used it on metal and it do a pretty good job for no bigger than it is. I've never used it on glass. You don't need any special tools.

at some point with enough forceful torque, the glass will break. Then follow the previous advice.turn off power and extract with needle nose pliers
