Category: silberschnitt pliers
A perfect gift for the beginner or the serious stained glass artisan, this tool can not only install key fob hardware, but it can also be used to cut and shape glass. The key feature of this tool is its Curved Jaws, which are meticulously machined and serve as the most important component.
The Rubber Stops within the Jaws are lubricated internally, preventing them from drying out over time. Additionally, the Set Screw is easy to adjust and properly tapped, ensuring a secure and precise fit. With Rubber Tips, the tool can prevent any scratching or damage to the key fob hardware during installation.
The tool's primary function is to aid in the process of cutting and shaping glass. The Running Plier Jaws act as a fulcrum, applying pressure evenly on both sides of a score line and running the score through the glass. This mechanism works best for straight cuts, but it also performs well on gentle curves.
To use the tool, follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Hold the glass surface in one hand and the plier in the other. Step 2: Position the edge of the plier parallel to the score line, approximately 1/4" away. Step 3: Apply a quick, upward and outward motion to break the glass along the score line.
For the final step, to "groze" or remove any unwanted edges from the glass, use the serrated jaw and gently nibble away at the excess material.
The tool's Curved Jaws, along with its well-machined construction and adjustable Set Screw, make it an invaluable asset for both beginner and experienced stained glass artists. The Rubber Stops and Tips further enhance the tool's versatility, allowing for safe and scratch-free handling of key fob hardware during installation.
In summary, this multi-purpose tool is a perfect companion for the stained glass enthusiast, whether they are just starting out or have years of experience under their belt. Its exceptional design and functionality make it a must-have for any stained glass workshop or studio.
