When to choose it

The Fan Out FO-BGP is useful when a separated glass piece still has a small oversized area along one side. The grozing face helps remove small amounts from the edge. The specialist lists a 6 1/4-inch overall length, which helps you compare the handle reach with a shorter bench tool.

D&L describes a jaw opening up to 3/8 inch. Keep that figure separate from the actual width of the working face or the thickness of your glass. Compare an alignment-marked running jaw if the glass still needs to separate along a long score.

Questions about this product

Where does this fit after a cut?

Compare it when a separated piece needs a small adjustment along the edge.

Does the 3/8-inch number specify the glass thickness?

The specialist gives it as the jaw opening. Check any thickness rating on its own.

What if I need to open a long score?

Compare a running plier with a jaw meant to open the score along the sheet.
