Hello,
I am looking at trying to take my blanks from a large sheet of soda glass and I am after help from those who have done the same.
So before I re-invent an old wheel any pointers or tips?
Here's what I thought I could do:
Below is a youtube video showing a great sales pitch for cutting thick glass, while the video shows the product being fool proof, the price is not within this fools reach. The kit listed gives a 404 error but I've sourced the hammer at about $500 USD.
I thought I could modify a "Automatic Centre Punch Adjustable Spring Loaded Metal Drill Tool" (ebay) which allows for interchangeable springs for an adjustable striking force. Then all I need is a similar head component with a washer and blunted striker head. The hole punch can be had for under $10.
But I am sure better minds than mine have been here before. So links, tips, tricks and traps and any other advice would be great.
I don't have access to a slow speed drill press for a DYI glass cutter.
Thanks
Steve
