Can I use this to cut plexi glass

I believe you can, but you might have to get a different blade than the stock one.
590772
Yes you can. Use a fine blade and put duc tape on both sides of the glass mark your line on the tape then cut
590773
Yes, I would use a fine tooth blade ,like a metal cutting blade and cut at a slow speed.

Renee, I have not used my saw to cut plexiglass but I would think with a fine toothed blade the saw would do the job. I don't think I would try it with the wood cut blades. Good luck.

Get the right blades, and not just one. The second a blade gets the least bit dull, change it. You have to go slow and use light pressure. If the blade gets too warm, the plexi starts to liquefy at the lead edge and solidify at the trail edge.

You must first drill a hole for the center of this tool to pivot in a circle. The dremel bit then cuts the circle. I do not know if there is a glass cutting bit for this tool. I have only used this on wood and plastic

The unit attaches to a specific dremel unit primarily for cutting wood; I have never used my dremel to cut glass, but I have used the unit to cut mother of pearl through repetitive effort. It is designed primarily for cutting a very straight edge.

I haven't used it much, but it is small. Probably best suited for thicknesses of one or two pieces of stained glass stacked and cutting intricate shapes. Might be faster than all the cuts necessary with a regular hand held cutter. Other than that my suggestion would be a larger type wet saw with rotary diamond blade...maybe even industrial size with a 10 inch blade. Probably would be faster, and blade last much longer. Just my opinion though. best regards

I have cut 3/8 inch plexiglass, and it did just fine. It is not a machine for heavy daily use, but if you need it for home use, it does great.

I guess you can take it to a glass place (that can cut glass or lucite) and have it cut down to fit your needs.

Well I'm a tile installer and use this saw to cut glass tile frequently. I would suggest that you have a high quality diamond blade though. This saw is capable of cutting something as wide as a wine bottle. It is a awesome saw

I have never tried cutting glass but will try and let you know. Doesn't seem likely.

I know it works on Plexiglass. I have never used it on glass. I would recommend testing it on two small pieces.

I used it on glass - but I'm thinking it might work just as well as long as the plexiglass is smooth and doesn't have scratches in it. That's just my opinion, of course.

Cynthia ... This blade isn't designed for plexiglas ... Diablo has a blade that is, check out diablotools.com

The 5792 may be able to do that but I'd strongly advise against using any shears or scissors to cut glass. I'm sure there are tools to do such, but these scissors or any other shears would not be a safe way to do it. Just my opinion.

I think this saw would work for you, just keep your fingers away from the blade. I bought mine to use to cut metal strips to use in stained glass projects. Good luck.

You can raise the blade level more than 1 inch so it would fit. Based on that I would think it would cut glass that thick. It is very sharp and if you take the time I believe it would do the job. However I have never tried to cut anything that thick.

I haven't tried that yet...I suppose a thicker piece might fare better than a thinner piece, but for some reason I doubt it. Thinking of how it works, the blades, etc. leads me to this theory. If I ever get a scrap piece of plexi glass I will give it a try and post the results.

I don't know about glass but 5 gal plasitic works fine and as long as the glass is the same height as the plastic ,I do not see why not. If any taller or wider, glass may not work.So far, I like this unit. Had a Primo and the plastic tubes broke and got messed up. Tubes are metal in the Viapur.

never tried it on glass. use mostly for tools. it's a diamond tip bit should last a long time. this s a very nice tool. nice light weight easy to use. hope this helped.
