Diamond is harder than glass, so a diamond will 'mark' glass.
Glass-cutting takes place when the worker uses a diamond-tipped tool to mark the glass along the cut line, then applies pressure to the glass on both sides of the mark.
Glass-cutting tools are tipped with industrial diamonds, which are 80% of all diamonds mined.
This is a phenomenon of physics.
They are also used for cutting glass
diamonds are harder than glasses... diamonds were considered as the hardest substances in nature...seventy-five percent of diamonds found are employed in industry, for cutting tools, drill bits and so forth.
Diamond is the hardest natural mineral. Industrial diamonds -- about 80% of all diamonds mined -- enhance tools that require sharp, precise and detailed accuracy. Tools for cutting glass are tipped with industrial diamond material.
Real diamonds will cut glass, though there is speculation that some fake diamonds can cut glass, and that you can damage a real diamond by cutting glass with it. Another way to tell is to hold the diamond up in the light. If you see any orange color from the diamond, it is fake, as real diamonds have every color EXCEPT orange.
Glass is less hard than the tip of the glass-cutting tool, which contains industrial diamond material. Industrial diamonds -- about 80% of all diamonds mined -- are not gem-quality, but possess the qualities assigned to diamonds. One of these is the hardest natural mineral. Tool manufacturers add industrial diamonds to tools to enhance their precision, cutting capabilities and durability.

As the logic goes it is difficult to cut glass with glass. Diamond saws are used for cutting rough diamonds. The lasers are also used widely to cut diamonds. The cutting of rough diamond also followed by girdling.

Another way to tell is to hold the diamond up in the light. If you see any orange color from the diamond, it is fake, as real diamonds have every color EXCEPT orange.
Industrial diamonds are used to enhance the cutting and precision features on tools. For example, a diamond-tipped tool for marking glass before tapping it with a rubber hammer, so that the edge of the glass is straight, not jagged.
Yes, diamonds can cut glass, because diamonds are harder than glass.
Diamonds are used to enhance cutting tools, because diamonds are the hardest mineral.
The only substance capable of cutting diamond would be it's self. Now, Lasers can also cut diamonds. But I don't consider lasers a substance.
Yes, diamonds can cut glass. Glass can also cut glass.
