FAQs

What type of oil should I use?

Use a specialized glass cutting oil to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the cutter.

How do I maintain the cutting wheel?

Keep the cutting wheel clean and lubricated. Replace it when it becomes dull or damaged.

Can I use this cutter on stained glass?

Yes, but be extra careful due to the variations in thickness and type of stained glass.

What is the stand-off distance for?

The stand-off distance of 2.5mm helps in achieving straight and consistent cuts along a straight edge.

How often should I oil the cutter?

Oil the cutter before each use. Check the oil level regularly and top up as needed.

What if the glass won't break cleanly?

Ensure a clean score, even pressure, and proper support. Try tapping gently beneath the score line.

Troubleshooting

Cutter is not scoring the glass properly.

Check if the cutting wheel is damaged or dull. Replace the cutting wheel or ensure it is well-oiled.

Glass is breaking unevenly.

Ensure the glass is properly supported and the score line is clean and consistent. Apply even pressure.
