Electric Tools for Stained Glass

There are certain tools that simplify the process of making stained glass. First off, there is a hand glass cutter that may be a pencil cutter (long and thin) or pistol cutter (angled with a grip handle). A glass grinder smoothens out edges for better fit. A foil tool is used for foiling cut glass. Foiling is the process of fitting copper foil around the glass edges, and can be done manually or mechanically. A soldering machine will then put foiled pieces together. Optional yet valuable tools are a stained glass saw (intricate design cutting) and bender (stained glass finishing).
