Glass cutter Böhler Silberschnitt MBH-1000 — manual glass cutting tool

Böhler Silberschnitt MBH-1000 — manual glass cutting tool is a hand-operated scoring tool made for creating precise linear scores in glass sheets prior to controlled breaking. The tool is intended for straight-line cuts and preparatory work in glazing, craft projects and light workshop use. Its design focuses on consistent score depth to enable predictable break lines and reduce chipping when used on suitable glass thicknesses.

Advantages

The Böhler Silberschnitt MBH-1000 delivers accurate, repeatable scoring through a stable handheld mechanism and a hardened cutting wheel engineered to maintain edge integrity. Its ergonomic form factor supports steady control during long runs, and the simple mechanical construction allows easy maintenance and wheel replacement. The tool is compact and portable, making it convenient for on-site glazing and small-scale fabrication tasks.

Suitable for

• Scoring and breaking flat glass sheets for windows and frames
• Cutting glass for craftwork and hobby projects
• Preparing glass pieces for installation or further edge finishing
• Light workshop tasks where straight cuts and controlled break lines are required

Key specifications

• Operation: manual, hand-held scoring tool
• Cut type: straight-line scoring for controlled breaking
• Cutting element: hardened wheel for repeated scoring
• Intended material: annealed flat glass sheets
• Typical applications: glazing, crafts, light workshop use

How to use

Place the glass on a stable, flat surface and support it near the intended score line. Align the Böhler Silberschnitt MBH-1000 along the desired cutting line, apply steady, even pressure and draw the cutting wheel once along the full length of the cut to produce a continuous score. After scoring, use appropriate breaking techniques—such as tapping or applying controlled bending—to separate the glass along the score. Replace the cutting wheel when scores become faint or the wheel shows visible wear.

Usage recommendations

Use the tool on clean, dry glass and wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and cut-resistant gloves. Avoid using the cutter on tempered or laminated glass not intended for manual scoring. For best results, score in a single, uninterrupted pass and check wheel condition regularly; replace the wheel when performance declines.
