**Toyo TC-17 Cutter**
I have a Professional Super Cutter Toyo cutter with a TC-20 cutter head which I find great for cutting large sheets. They seem a bit tricky to get hold of these days so I suggest the Toyo Supercutter Metal Handle Straight Head Oil Cutter with a TC-17 cutter head instead.
Both cutters have a wide 140 degree head specifically made for straight line cutting.
You can get the TC-17 from Amazon here:

If you can't get hold of the TC-17 cutter a regular Toyo Comfort Grip Glass Cutter is fine for cutting large sheets:

**Square Cutting Edge**
I use a Leponitt 40" cutting edge for large sheets. There's a 37" Leponitt cutting edge here which will work for most sheets of glass:

Been searching the net on ways to break small section of glass and I FOUND THIS! Thank you so much for the tutorial.
Great that it helped Mohammad :-)
Thank you so much..this is helpful. 😊
Glad to hear it helped Iman, thanks
Welp ruinrd a 100-150 year old huge pane trying the ball method. It took me a few hours to salvage that pane from a window. A very hard to find 39" window. This sucks.
Would be nice to know how to tell when the cut was done right and it's ready to break.
I'm sorry you're struggling with cutting. I have many cutting tutorials on this page that will help you: everythingstainedglass.com/tag/cutting
Thank you, needed a video properly showing how to do that so even people who've never touched a sheet of glass can learn how to do it.
Thanks! I watched some of the 'swooshy glass cutters' cutting whole sheets and thought how scary that would be if you'd never cut a whole sheet of glass before. Glad you found it helpful.
Thank you for the video. Im still running into same problem though, when i score over 80cm or so, the wheel gets stuck or clogged half way, so i get inconsistent cuts.. what am i doing wrong? 😊
Is your cutter free of glass debris? And is the sheet glass clean? It sounds as if it's either picking up dust etc from the glass or that the small shards were already in the cutter wheel before you started.
Great instruction, very well considered with several techniques. Very Good, thanks for keeping up with your videos!
Thank you :-)
Brilliant
I love your tutorials
Ty. That was flawless.
You're welcome Jaime, glad you found it helpful :-) I don't think I've ever been called flawless before - I like it lol.
Thank you for the calming instructions!
you're more than welcome Sandy :-)
What did she dip tool into..
Angela, it's cutting oil on a sponge. The oil can leak from the cutter barrels. Hope that helps.
You are amzing, i am watching and listening. Thank you Thank you. Love your channel
Thanks Deborah, that's very nice to hear. I hope to be adding more videos this year :-)
Eres fantástica ....gracias por tu tiempo y por tus enseñanzas.......un saludo desde Canarias....
¡Gracias! Me alegra que los encuentre útiles Alejandro:-)
Glass of course does not always break on the score line but most of the time does handled correctly. Great video.
Thanks Libertyn. You're so right! Patience is part of being a stained glass artist LOL!
Very good video. Do you not need oil on the glass or do you just do your tool?
Some people use oil, others not. It's a personal preference. I use oil.
Awesome tutorial. Many Thanks! Can ordinary pliers be used to open up the cut?
Not for large sheets Edem. The cut runners are better as they have padded jaws and are slightly bent so press down on either side of the score without chipping it. You can use regular pliers for smaller pieces if you put the end of the pliers along the score line and gently snap it at one end of the score and then at the other. Good question, I hope I've explained it well enough!
@@everything-stained-glass Yes, you have. Many thanks.
Brilliant! Thank you!
Love that you love it Patty, thanks :-)
Gonna try this with 5ft of 2mm glass..... Wish me luck
Good luck Sandy, did it work??
@@everything-stained-glass it worked well. Though I think I should get a better/new glass cutter. Thank you
I was wondering what you were dipping your cutter into ?
Thank you :)
You're welcome!
