Nadine, I got a large custom made Scoreboard from the folks that make them and it is great. It accomodates a whole sheet of BE which can be stripped in about 10 minutes using your own cutter. It is just a base board with a set bar at the bottom and a raised perpendicular bar that the glass slides under. Make a mark on the bottom bar and start sliding and scoring, using the perpendicular bar as a guide for your cutter.

The instructions on the Scoreboard look backwards to me. If I'm right handed , I would have the cutter in my right hand and would want to cut on the right side of the vertical bar with the unscored sheet to the left.Lisa Allen wrote:Nadine, I got a large custom made Scoreboard from the folks that make them and it is great.

According to the instructions, to cut on the right side of the bar, you would need a left handed cutter. Maybe you use the thing differently than I think.
Confused? I am.

I got a modified version that doesn't have the angled rod, just the bottom aluminum bar and the raised perpendicular one, so with this one you can use it as a righty or a lefty. Just depends on which way you want to slide the glass. You can use either side of the perpendicular bar to butt your cutter up against. No instructions with this one, its made just for up and down cuts which is all I wanted.

OK that answers the question. Looks like a good system for the strips.Lisa Allen wrote:Hey Ron-Ron Coleman wrote:The instructions on the Scoreboard look backwards to me.
