FAQs

What type of oil should I use with the TC10B?

Use a dedicated glass cutting oil or high-quality thin machine oil to ensure the wheel rotates freely and the score is clean.

Can I use this on tempered glass?

No. Tempered glass will shatter into small pieces if you attempt to score or cut it.

How do I know when to replace the cutting wheel?

If you notice the tool requires excessive pressure to create a score, or if the resulting snap is consistently ragged, the wheel is likely worn out.

Is this tool suitable for beginners?

Yes, although the professional features require some practice to master, the self-lubricating system makes it more forgiving than non-oil cutters.

How often should I refill the oil reservoir?

Refill based on usage frequency; if the score line begins to look dry, the reservoir is likely low.

Troubleshooting

The wheel is skipping or leaving a flaky score.

Check the oil level in the handle and ensure the cutting head is free of glass dust buildup.

The score line is inconsistent or intermittent.

Clean the wheel with a soft cloth soaked in oil or kerosene to remove debris; check that the cutting pressure is applied consistently.

Oil is leaking from the cutting head when not in use.

Ensure the reservoir cap is tightened correctly and store the tool horizontally rather than vertically.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior score quality with self-lubrication
  • Excellent balance provided by the brass handle
  • Narrow head provides great visibility for precision work
  • Durable construction for long-term reliability

Cons

  • Requires manual oil filling and maintenance
  • Not intended for glass thicker than 10mm
  • Higher initial learning curve for beginners compared to basic cutters

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before your first use, remove the screw at the end of the handle to fill the reservoir with a high-quality glass cutting oil. Once filled, gently tap the cutting head to prime the wheel. After each session, wipe the wheel with a soft cloth to remove glass dust and debris. Ensure the tool is stored horizontally in a clean, dry location to prevent oil leakage. If you plan to switch between different thicknesses of glass, consider having a dedicated cutter for each to maintain optimal wheel sharpness.
