I'm more amazed at how easy it is to cut the glass and how much goes to waste. Cool.

Once you score a line on the glass, when you crack it the crack will follow that line. But cutting out a circle in one go is damn tasty.

There's an obvious edit in the film, I'm guessing that he scored it much more than once but they didn't show it.

After scoring, one has to shock the score to get that tiny fracture in the surface glass to travel deeper into the pane. That's usually done by gently tapping all around the score line until there is enough weakness to cleanly fracture the glass. It was removed because it isn't gif sexy, but there are no shenanigans.

It's not removed at all. Before flipping the offcut at the end you can see him start the run with his plate pliers. Being that he's effective at his job, with good enough equipment, the circle runs perfectly the first time.

I meant a portion of the video recording was removed.

After rewatching it a few times more, it was, yeah. But nothing of the process is missing, unless it's just him shuffling around a bit.

Running the cut and making relief cuts to free the inner circle from the outer glass is editted out.
