Using a Strip Cutter

Each strip will be exactly the same size, and once the strips are cut, you can easily cut them into rectangles, squares, or diamonds.

The most important step in strip cutting is to make sure your measurements are accurate. There's nothing worse than to cut a number of strips only to find out that they are too wide or too narrow. Cut the first strip out of window glass, then lay it on the cartoon to make sure it is accurate. If it isn't, you can adjust the setting to get it right. I'd rather use some window glass and be confident that the measurements are accurate, than to cut up a piece of expensive stained glass only to find out that they were wrong.

I will show you three different types of strip cutters and how to use them. Each one looks different and sets up in it's own unique way, but as you will see, they also have similarities and some common ground rules.
