Glass cutting: Use a wheel-cutter to score the glass. New glass should break cleanly along your line, simply by bending it, as it follows the stress lines in the glass that you have created with the "cutter" link . But you may have trouble with old, used glass, because the used glass will probably have lots of stress lines already in the glass, which may override the new stress line you apply with your glass cutter. In the case of old glass, gently strike the glass on the other side to score mark with the ball-end of a "pein" hammer, gradually working your way along the mark as it breaks - and hope for the best.   thesource (378)
