Best saw for cutting glass
I'm new to glass and wanted to find out what saw would be best for cutting glass after it has been fused. Thanks in advance.
Re: Best saw for cutting glass
I don't think there is a definitive answer. I used a QEP saw with a $20.00 tile blade with great results.
Frankly, IMO, annealing is of the most importance in this issue.

Annealing and a good blade. I have a cheap, nasty saw but a great blade, cuts beautifully. A great saw with a cheap, nasty blade is all but worthless.

Re: Best saw for cutting glass
No idea what the saw is, just that I bought it maybe 12 years ago for under $200 on eBay, it most likely comes from China, uses 10-inch blades and is orange in spots, red in others. The blade I chose is a Result blade, bought it from HIS and love it. There are other great blades, too, just depends on what you want to do with them. I needed to cut very thin with little waste.

Re: Best saw for cutting glass
I bought a cheap wet tile saw at Home Depot for about $89.00. Then I ordered a good diamond blade for about $60.00. Works great.
