A method for separating beads from a strand of plastic glass, which emerges continuously from a storage unit, wherein the glass strand passes a periodically controllable glass cutter, and the beads are separated from the glass strand in cutting phases. The separated beads are received by molds which are displaced beneath the glass cutter at a timed rate of conveyance, which is adapted to a cutting sequence of the glass cutter, an emerging speed of the glass strand and a desired size of bead. The control of the glass cutter includes, in the periods, two different cutting phases for alternately separating useful beads and waste beads, and the waste beads are easily discharged between the conveyed molds.
