You score the surface, you apply pressure, and you just <em>hope</em> it breaks clean. But when the glass is too cold, it gets stubborn. The fracture jumps around, and you end up with those annoying chips or corner breakouts that ruin a perfectly good piece. We found a better way. Instead of fighting the glass, we warm it up using medium wave quartz infrared heaters before it ever touches the cutting head.</p>
