Best way to cut Bow Glass?
« on: March 14, 2011, 10:39:00 PM »
I am just getting into building bows.  I have noticed that when trimming down the Glass it is very easy to create Cracks in the glass.  Which method or tool is best for the cutting process?

I use a belt sander when I can. If I use my band saw it is a bi-metal blade.

In the video from Binghams, they use a set of tin snips. Works like a charm, in the video. Don

In the most recent bow I built I tried using the tin snips after watching the binghams Video.  Maybe i did not have good snips but the glass still cracked.
