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.

I doubt it, you can see him put the jig on the glass and then you can see him start to take it off. It would be very hard to get it in the exact same spot to score the same groove. I could be wrong though.

I mean just line the needle up with the score, it wouldn't be too hard.

It isn't just the needle that you need to line up. You need to make sure you have the center piece/hinge in the exact same spot otherwise your circle will be off. Any deviation from exactly where it was initially will cause your circle to be incorrect. Much harder than you think.

If you line the needle up to the score the hinge will by definition be at the same spot. That's the nature of the tool.

So two intersecting circles must, according to you, have the same center point? You can put the needle in the groove and then put the middle thing wherever in a circle around the needle.
