Jan. 21st, 2003 01:28 amDoes anyone here work with glass? Specifically, cutting very small pieces of glass?
I am working on a project using two small (1'") pieces of glass and for the life of me can't get an edge as clean and straight as I'd like. Any tips? I'm using one of the standard hand-held glass cutter tools with the grooves and ball on the end. The finished product will have the edges covered in solder, but I still need the edge to be straight, and for the 2 pieces to be the exact same size.
Thanks in advance. =)
An example of the first (bad) attempt, this one is finished with copper tape, not solder, as it's just the first round.
