FAQs

What types of glass can this scorer cut?

This scorer is suitable for most flat glass types with a thickness of approximately 3mm to 10mm. It is not designed for tempered glass.

How do I ensure a clean break after scoring?

After making a single, continuous score line, gently tap the underside of the glass along the score line, or apply even pressure from the back. A straight edge placed underneath can help guide the break.

Is the diamond tip replaceable?

The diamond tip on this model is not designed to be user-replaceable. If it becomes damaged, the entire tool typically needs replacement.

Does this cutter require oil?

While not strictly required, using a small amount of glass cutting oil on the score line can help create a smoother score and a cleaner break, especially on thicker glass.

How long is the tool?

The total tool length is 180mm.

What maintenance is recommended?

Wipe the diamond tip clean after each use and store it in a dry place to prevent damage. Check screws periodically for tightness.

Can I use this for cutting bottles or curved glass?

This scorer is primarily designed for straight cuts on flat glass and is not ideal for cutting bottles or curved surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Glass is not scoring cleanly

Ensure the diamond tip is clean and sharp. Apply consistent, even pressure. Use a ruler or straight edge as a guide. For smoother scoring, consider using a small amount of cutting oil on the glass surface before scoring.

Cutter feels loose or unstable

Check the brass twin thread screws and tighten them gently if necessary. Ensure the handle is securely attached to the cutting head.

Difficulty making a straight cut

Use a metal ruler or straight edge firmly against the glass as a guide. Practice making score lines on scrap glass to improve technique. Apply slow, steady pressure.

Diamond tip appears damaged

Inspect the tip for any chips or cracks. If the diamond tip is visibly damaged, the tool may need to be replaced as it will not score effectively or safely.
