I have used a flame and water. Here is a video. I hope this helps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxKZ8hhcmvg

If you plan to do any kind of plumbing work in your house i would strongly recommend that you invest in a pipe cutter. They give a much neater and easier finish than a saw but if you don't do much DIY and are more likely to call in a plumber than to do it yourself, don't bother spending the money.

they should be effective up to about 1/2" thickness. However, on softer metals you can probably go a little thicker, and on harder metals you might have to go a little under 1/2"

If I am reading this correctly, your answer may be that the cutter is designed that way for safety. "Auto-retracting". You find it in some utility knives that often store employees are required to carry so they won't "hurt themselves". Annoying, really. Try buying another cutter that is not an "auto retract"-- or get used to using your thumb for the purpose of holding the slide so the blade stays exposed.

It literally splits in half. Find the tabs to pull it apart- and you may find spares in the base I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/josh_8f8ad0a8f7e0e6d3

it will be easier to just make circular cuts with a utility knife or a jigsaw. shingle cutting machines are only meant for straight cuts

Take a look at this amazon page that lists a selection of pipe cutters at a range of prices; http://www.amazon.com/b?node=553180

Although pipecutters are generally seen as giving a much cleaner and better cut than hacksaws, they are a bit limited in what they are able to cut through. Hacksaws however can cut through all sizes of plastic and metal.

My problem exactly. Very hard to change blades. I've used wd40, heat, drilled out center of screw, but more of them get stripped all the time.

you can use a hooked blade x acto knife, but it takes a lot of force to cut through the shingles.

Wet saws make cutting thick or strong tiles easier, they also make it easier to make multiple cuts on a tile. It takes longer to use the wet stone so if you don't really have to use it then cutting with a tile cutter will go much faster.

Wear protective gloves because rebar tends to get really hot when you're cutting it, you should also be wearing clothing that you don't mind ruining and isn't too flamable because sparks will come flying off the rebar when you cut it. Make sure to wear eye and face protection as well as sturdy shoes. This is not a job for the flip-flops!

You shouldn't really be using dull bolt cutters because it requires more force to cut through the metal which increases the likelyhood that you will get an injury. Yes you can use dull bolt cutters but you should always make sure that your blades are sharp before you use them.

According to Wikipedia these are the bottle cutting methods:Rope Method:The rope method is a common practice for those novice at cutting glass bottles. The idea is to take a rope or piece of string and tie it tightly to the bottle directly into score line. The string is to be then painted with a flammable oil then set on fire. The heat that comes from the burning string will cause the bottle to soften in the score. While the score is still warm, the bottle is then placed under a flow of cold water which will tighten the heated molecules at such a quick rate that the stress of the bottle is released through your score causing a break in the glass. Problems with this method include the stress in the bottle being so great that the bottle fails to break immediately on the score line and will leave large jagged pieces that take a long time to grind down.Torch Method:The torch method is very similar to the rope method but requires a much more practiced hand in cutting bottles. The idea here is to use a torch to heat the bottle over the score line until the bottle reaches appropriate temperature to then place under the cold running water. Problems that occur with this method include still large jagged edges much like the rope method, however, much more accurate to the score. An advantage to this method is the lack of material and cost with a quicker and cleaner result.Water Method:Although all methods include a cold stream, this is the only method in which to make a cut using entirely water. Problems that occur in the rope method and the torch method is that the glass becomes too hot too quickly making inaccurate breaks with large stress lines and fractures in the glass. With the water method, you can obtain an almost perfect cut and at a faster and cheaper rate than almost all other methods. In this method, boiling water is poured slowly on the score line raising the temperature in the glass at a much slower rate than a fire method and will maintain a much lower temperature. Once the bottle becomes warm, it is then placed under the cold running water for the break. Problems still occur during this method with sometimes jagged edges and stress lines and fractures, however; most methods are a 50%-60% success rate, where as the water method is about a 95% success rate.

Here is a video showing the basics of how to cut a piece of glass, in this case a mirror, with a small glass cutter.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQaLV35HQEU

I would use a chisel or screwdriver and put it in between the sides of the case and gently pry or tap it with a hammer to spread the sides.

On What?

What is this on? Need make and model and voltage and phase.
