Need glass cut in Calgary.

[tim the toolman]

If you have a decent glass cutter it should be quite easy to cut the glass you have. The trick is oil your cut line, oil your blade and only run the line 1 time. Push relatively hard and once you have your score line use the opposite end of the cutter on the other side of the glass and push gently on the outside edges. Should just pop down the line. Best of luck

I disagree. If you are pushing hard enough to chip the glass along your cut, you are pushing too hard.
You want to score the glass, not cut it.
It should be one constant paper ripping sound.

Hope this helps.

I said relatively hard I didn't say lean on the cutter. I do commercial glass for a living so I have a good grasp on the technique. If you don't score it properly it will not break cleanly but if you are too aggressive the glass will spur and you run the risk of the cut running off on you, which is why the oil is very important.
