  Operating industrial type glass cutting tools requires skill as well as experience. A score line is cut deeply into the glass surface enabling the cutter to bend and snap the glass while avoiding breakage as well as dangerous glass shards.The term industrial glass cutter often refers to industrial glass cutting machines, which requires a skilled glass cutter to feed glass into the machine as it scores and cuts. These industrial machines also have built-in cooling, water-drip as well as lubricating systems.
  
  

Industrial Diamond Tip Glass Cutter

• Scoring and cutting glass requires skill as well as a reliable tool. The industrial diamond tip glass cutter is a hand-held tool which makes deep scores into the glass to ensure it snaps into the desired cut and shape. The diamond tip blade edge is the feature which cuts into the glass. Certain models have a cap to add glass cutting oil which automatically lubricates the glass as it is scoring. Other heavy-duty diamond tip cutters do not require the oil and only cut specific glass widths such as 1/4-inch thick. Models are available with an aluminum, wood or plastic handle. Glass marking pens as well as rulers are also used to guide the cutting tool.
  
  

Industrial Glass Drill with Core Drill Bit

• Installing or drilling into glass, stone, concrete, marble or tile often requires using professional glass drills. Although the drill is an important element to penetrating the glass, the type of bit used determines the type of cut made into the glass. Special size holes are made with diamond core drill bits. These circular shaped drill bit attachments cut clean and even holes into the glass for different types of installation needs or requirements. The glass industry also refers to the attachment as glass diamond hole saws. Although models and brands are different, this hand-held tool generally has a heavy-duty nickel plated steel surface. These drills generally operate with very high-speed settings.
  
  

Glass Diamond Wire Form Saw and Blade

• Cutting novelty patterns into glass is often created with a hand-held cutting tool such as the diamond wire form saw. This tool generally has a wooden handle and requires two separate pieces. Professional glass artists use the saw by inserting the glass cutting blade. It is designed as a round blade and saws in any direction. The blade is used to cut into bottle neck- and pattern- glass, as well as other mediums such as stone and quartz. The two part tool is generally sold separately. The round blade is designed to fit into industrial clamp style scroll saws as well, which usually have a built-in water-drip system for faster cutting.
