It is important to remember the basic scoring tips as they become even more important with difficult cuts:
- Keep an even/constant speed during the scoring.
- Keep a consistent pressure - less than 3kg/ 7 lbs is all the pressure required.
- Make sure the cutter is vertical – eye the cutter from top to wheel to cut line.
- Stand behind the direction of the cut line.
- Use your body to turn, do not use the wrist or arm.
Break out each score as you make it. You can store up trouble by making multiple scores before starting to break. The score lines can run across the main piece when breaking off the scored glass. Any inaccuracies will also be magnified by making all the scores before breaking.
