ABSTRACT:
A glass cutting machine including a frame, a cutter assembly supported by the frame, and a cam activated breaking mechanism. The cutter assembly includes a guide bar for supporting a sliding cutting attachment. The cutting attachment is positioned in a first orientation when sliding in a first direction and a second orientation when sliding in a second direction. A glass cutter, attached to the cutting attachment, cuts the glass workpiece when the cutting attachment is positioned in the first orientation and is spaced from the glass workpiece when the cutting attachment is positioned in the second orientation. Thus, cutting occurs only when the cutter assembly slides in the first direction. A cam activates a breaking mechanism as the cutting attachment slides in the second direction. The breaking mechanism impacts the glass workpiece to complete separation of the glass workpiece into a first glass section and a second glass section.
