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
