Yes. That's all I've been doing is glass and mirror. I think the medium and slow cutting is for more delicate stuff like model trains and matchbox cars.

I've not used it on glass. What I have used has dried clear. Sorry I can't answer your question.

If they fix some of the design flaws, and the machine is well maintained it could be used on very soft metals if a strong enough endmill is used. Glass etching is better done with a laser head rather than an endmill, and acrylic could be engraved /etched with either. The troubles I have experienced have to do with the translation of the head, and the inaccurate positioning that resulted.

I haven't used it on glass but it does a great job on plastics. I'm going to say it would if used with care. Not to aggressive of a cut and a slower speed.

I'll use wet saw (not bouncing) and good (not bouncing) glass cut blade. It depend glass hardness, but bottle glass is soft and I think that you'll get cheeps up to 1/32". Try to cut slow.

I'm not sure what you are etching, Eric. I use this tool for wood carving. You can see some of my work at: etsy.com/shop/treewizIf I knew a little about what you are wanting to do, I might be of more help. Gary Wiz Burns

I only used it to cut tile which essentially has a glass coated surface . It worked very well for that . It will be dangerous , be safe .

This product is NOT FOR CLEANING GLASSES. It is for etching designs into glass.

I have had good results with the standard green compound(I think it is 0.5 micron). The white also works well.

The 5792 may be able to do that but I'd strongly advise against using any shears or scissors to cut glass. I'm sure there are tools to do such, but these scissors or any other shears would not be a safe way to do it. Just my opinion.

I have used the cutter blade but have not used the glass yet. I just assume it works as stated.

It will cut glass but might not give the clean sharp line you want. I would prefer to use a wet saw especially for smaller pieces. This cutter is fine if the edge of your cut will be hidden (as in a corner) or covered by mortar or caulk etc

yes, Micro abrasives allow the polish to cut fast and leave a smooth finish in fewer passes. Micro abrasives do not break down like diminishing abrasives, which gives #205 polish a long working time. Meguiars Mirror Glaze #205 Ultra Finishing Polish permanently removes swirls and light imperfections, leaving a smooth, reflective finish.

Both are great for anyone who breaks out from or is allergic to most adhesives tapes. I think that Hypafix is far more flexible than 3M's Medipore but is more expensive, so I buy Medipore Soft. I've used Medipore H Soft but it seems to leave more residue on the items I have to tape into position so I stick with Medipore Soft. Plus, Medipore is perforated every 2 inches and can torn away from the roll, no scissors required.

Do you mean etching cream? I use the Silhouette brand etching cream. You can buy that here on Amazon and I believe you can use other brands of etching cream, as well. You apply the stencil to the glass using transfer material, then you apply the etching cream for a specified amount of time.

I just strop mine on a paddle strop loaded with green polishing compound - super easy to get a nice sharp edge.I think that the edge retention is reasonable, but if you want to do a lot of cutting then maybe use a dedicated knife.For small jobs the Swiss Army Knife steel is just fine.

The largest file has courser grit. The other 2 seem to be the same. Since they are etched glass, they are the same on both sides. I find I don't need a courser side very often.
