Cut through glass is different from scaring the surface of glass.
People who cut glass use a diamond-tipped tool to score the surface of the glass, then they tap the glass with a rubber mallet, which fractures the glass along the line of the score.
You could use a diamond-tipped saw to cut through glass, especially if it was a thick plate.
Yes, diamonds can cut glass, because diamonds are harder than glass.
Yes, a diamond-tipped tool can cut through steel.
Anything, including another diamond.
Diamonds are cut in the Netherlands, in India, in Canada and Australia. India may cut the most diamonds, since most small stones are cut there.
Diamonds facets are cut with other diamonds or with lasers, depending on the facet.
Yes, diamonds can cut glass, because diamonds are harder than glass.
Yes, diamonds can cut glass. Glass can also cut glass.
A diamond will cut glass -- an emerald will not.
No. Diamonds cut glass because diamonds are harder than glass. Quartz is not as hard as diamond.
Diamonds can cut glass because they are one of the hardest naturally occurring substances on Earth. When a diamond is rubbed against glass, the hardness of the diamond allows it to scratch and ultimately cut through the glass.
Diamonds
FalseAnother AnswerTrue, in the sense that diamonds can mar glass. A glass-cutter uses a diamond-tipped tool to mark a cut line on glass, then applies pressure to either side of the cut line. This separates the glass where the cutter wants it cut.
No, emeralds are not hard enough to cut glass. Diamonds cut glass and they are the only gemstone with this capability.
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.
Any diamond can 'cut glass' in the sense that dragging the diamond stone across glass will mar the glass.
No, a diamond cannot cut through metal. While diamonds are one of the hardest materials known, they are brittle and could fracture when used to cut through hard metals like steel. Diamond is more commonly used to cut and shape other materials like glass, ceramic, or other diamonds.
Because the diamonds are harder than the glass and can cut a 'score' into the surface of the glass, so that with a light tap, the glass separates along the 'score'.
