TO CUT OR SPLIT GLASS.
Il one o How, 1t Can BE Done
Easily and without a
Diamond.

1t often occurs that glass tubes Of
various dimensions have TO be cut where
a diamond is not at hand, as in shops
and power plants where oil and water
gauge tubes must be neatly fitted, says
the National Glass Budget. The usual
method adopted is to file a small groove
around the tube and separate the glass
with a sharp rap at the place weakened
by the file. The RESULT is not always sat-
isfactory, because the ends often break
unevenly owing to the difficulty of maxi
ing a straight groove with the file. Bet
ter results are obtained when only a
small incision is made with a file, just
enough to cut through the enamel Of
the tube, on n side, and not all around.
While the tube is still warm from the
friction of the file, the tube is then taken
between the thumbs and forefnger, the
thumbs opposite to the file incision, and
the forefingers, around the tubing, close
to but not covering the incision. Pres
sure of the thumbs invariably causes the
tube to break in as straight and clean a
line as though cut with a diamond.
Another method is to use a fine saw
blade (the finer toothed the better, for
a saw is only another form of file) and
this should be kept fed with fine emery,
carborun6um, or pulverized silica sane
of hard grit, moistened with camphor,
oil, turpentine or water. A straight,
steady and ever stroke should be made,
- II H. rr-a-I, &, n - wNf..1I- DOM
against a gauge the cut will be as true
as though it had been ground. Nor is
even a toothed blade necessary, if a suit
able hard and finely gritted abrasive is
used and regularly fed between the glass
and fine wire. watchspring, or blunt but
even blade of an ordinary table knife.
The latter will be somewhat slow. of
course, but q fine steel wire run at high
speed like a band saw If regularly fed
with fine emery or carborundum, will
give very satisfactory results, not only
for cutting either straight lines or
curves in window, but plate or optical
glass, in such thickness as makes cut
ting with a diamond difficult, "precarious
OF impossible.
Window glass, especially single
strength, can be accurately split either
IN straight or curved lines by first maxi
ing an incision through the enamel Of
the glass, and then holding a hot iron
close to the incision till a fracture is
started. The fracture will follow the
hot iron with remarkable fidelity. The
iron should be preferably round and
somewhat blunt and with a bulky head
Qike an ordinary fire poker, so as to
retain its heat well for long cuts, espe-
cially for thick sheets, to keep the frac-
ture going when once started, even il
two heated irons have to be used.
