I must admit I am having trouble cutting larger pieces of glass cleanly without breaking it and wonder whether there are any tips anyone can offer. The workshop is currently a bit temporary but I'm not sure I really want to blame the bench and the tools for the problems! To date I have just been working on a rickety work bench and using a long metal rule rather than a purpose designed T. The cutter is a bit prone to the occasional deviation from the straight line with the metal rule.
Most of the glass cutting video clips I have seen show a small piece of glass being cut which tends not to be a problem. It's normally when I cut a 4' width that I run into trouble. If I had to guess it would be that the score is not deep enough...
Finally, does anyone use a blanket to cover their bench to protect the glass?
Thanks in advance.
