It&rsquo;s brittle. When you hit a cold sheet of glass with a cutting tool, it doesn&rsquo;t always behave. You get those annoying little chips or &ldquo;corner breakouts&rdquo; that ruin a perfectly good piece. The fix? Heat it up first. We use infrared (IR) preheating to take the edge off—literally. By warming the glass before it ever touches the blade, the material relaxes. It&rsquo;s less of a shock to the system, which means your edges stay clean and smooth.</p>
