Note: Glass knives are sharper than most diamond knives, but lose their edge very fast. They are best when freshly made, lose their edge sharpness during storage.
- Remember to rotate the left half of the strip so that the freshly broken side is now facing the adjustable stop. You do it only this one time and only on the left half of the strip.
- After clamping down the head and scoring the glass, make sure to retract the adjustable stops. Only then proceed with turning the breaking knob. This ensures a balanced break.
