The main reasons for the appearance of rejects during glass cutting are presented: off-cut breakage and breakage during cutting. Attention is focused mainly on the residual stresses in the glass; equipment-related reasons for rejects are briefly discussed. The existing method of monitoring the residual stresses in glass and its drawbacks are examined. These studies have made it possible to clarify the reasons for problems arising during glass cutting. Explanations are given for the results obtained.
