Cutting in one direction in glass tubing will reduce the places the glass will crack and break. Cutting in multiple directions greatly increases the chance of the glass tubing completely shattering when you break it off.

You should contact a glass company that replaces auto glass. These businesses are found mostly in major metropolitan areas. It is best to call 3 to 5 different businesses to find the lowest price. Many of these companies will bring the glass to you and install it.
The Sumerians invented glass accidentally.

It is not necessary to score tubing to be cut all the way around. Depending on the diameter anything from a small nick to a 5mm - 10mm scratch is enough. If you wet the scratch then dab on it with a molten piece of glass it will crack evenly all the way around. The cutting on one direction has one purpose. If you go over scratches more than once with your knife, it will blunt your tungsten carbide blade very quickly, as the small amount of glass dust in the scratch acts as an abrasive.

Glass tubing in the chemistry lab can be cut using a glass cutter or a file. The tubing is scored with the cutter or file, and then snapped along the line where it was scored to get a clean break. It's important to wear safety glasses and gloves when cutting glass tubing to prevent injuries.
Glass tubing is exactly what it sounds like -- a tube made of glass. Glass tubing comes in all shapes in sizes, with tube diameters or just a millimeter or less up to very large tubes. It can be used for a number of things. I can be used to carry both liquid and gasses. With a triangular file, it is possible to break glass tubing into smaller pieces. Using a hot flame from a Bunsen burner, it is possible to bend glass tubing into other shapes.See the Web Links to the left for more information about how to use glass tubing.

Fire polishing the ends of tubes and rods made of glass seal small cracks, which help reduce the chance of fractures. This is especially important due to the sorts of harmful chemicals often placed within a glass tube.
This is a stand.
When a glass tubing is held over a Bunsen burner flame, it heats up and may eventually become soft, losing its shape or melting. This can be dangerous as molten glass can drip and cause burns. It is important to handle glass tubing with caution and use proper equipment for heating.
It isn't dangerous until the glass breaks. Broken glass is dangerous. The contents inside the tubing may contain mercury or other chemicals that should not be ingested.
never attempt to insert glass tubing that has a jagged end, all glass tubing should be fire polished before its inserted into a rubber stopper. Use water or glycerin as a lubricant at the end of the glass tubing before inserting it into the rubber stopper. ask teacher for proper lubricant. Protect hands and fingers by wearing leather gloves or placing a folded cloth between your hands and the tubing. hold it as close as possible to the part it is inserted to the rubber stopper. always point the tubing away from the palm of your hand that holds the stopper. use a twisting motion and push the tubing into the stopper. At the end of the experiment put on leather gloves or place the folded cloth between your hands and the tubing and remover the stoppers from the tubing to keep them from sticking to the glass. if it wont budge, use lubricant.
Wetting the glass tubing before inserting it into a stopper helps create a better seal by reducing the risk of air pockets. The water acts as a lubricant, making it easier to insert the glass tube into the stopper without damaging either component.
