    Very nice angle on the video! I could see the crack moving and it definitely made all the difference in understanding the process!

    Nicely executed - concise instructions, thanks for sharing. John
  • Once you start the run, turn over and apply pressure running it around, then flip back Make the relief cuts, works great, Thanks for the video, shows you know what you're doing!

    Thanks for your video, gave me the confidence to get the job done. My 2mm thick circles didn't need to have the Crack opened both sides though and I found that splitting the offcut at one point and dropping the circle out in one go was the cleanest edge I could get. I don't think it would work so well for 3mm or thicker though.

    See my other videos. One of them covers that question on clear glass. But you may chip the mirror so follow the video , use plenty of kero & a nice steady even pressure on the curt
  • Totally awesome! :) When it finally "splits", all the way through, around the center... why won't it just "fall" out? Thanks:) BOP

    You can make a cut in the outer circle waste, open the cut , then flex the cut apart so the circle just drops out. But ! This is will work on thin glass but not very well on 5mm and thicker and if you try doing it on the thicker glass you will end up chipping the glass circle. But great trick for 3 mm thickness.

    I'd like to know which cutter you use. I got one on amazon for cutting mirror and I cant seem to get a smooth circle cut no matter how much cutting fluid I use. Thanks in advance!
  • @dennisobrien3133
    Can you remove the circle piece ending with the intact square?
  • @dhorton51
    Can you buy the ccircle contraption or did you makw it your self? Very good instructions! Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.

    Thanks for the video.What can be substituted for karo
  • @Johnnyred51
    Before removing the cut off, push down on the scribe which separates the cut completely. Then make one cut at the front and spread the cutoff causing the center piece to drop cleanly l.
