Breaking Pliers Views
Glass breaking pliers make glass working easier and safer. Glass breaking pliers, also referred to as glass running pliers, have a special jaw design that help break the glass along the score line. This helps keep your hands away from the sharp edges of the glass during the breaking process. Grozer pliers are another tool used to nibble away small amounts of glass if a piece is just a little out of shape. Check out the selection of glass breaking pliers at the Best Stained Glass Art Store.
The next picture shows the first break made, once the line has been scored. Notice how the rubber breaking bar on the top jaw of the pliers is positioned perpendicular to the score line. This is important, and being able to keep that perpendicular angle will become more important later. After this break, the score has been run about an inch into the glass.
In the fifth picture, the pliers have been positioned for the third break. The breaking block on the top jaw has been rotated again, allowing it to remain perpendicular to the score line, even though the handles of the pliers are not. After this break, the piece is nearly loose, and just needs a final break at the end of the score.
Completely opening and breaking the cut is best done with cut running pliers which are normally used from the end of the cut. Depending on the glass thickness and the complexity of the cut, Bohle offers different tools which guarantee excellent cutting results and breaking edges. These Bohle tools are also suitable for shaped cuts. High quality tools of precision Made in Germany. If it doesn't say Bohle on it, it isn't ours - don't settle for poor quality copies.
