FAQs

What type of oil should I use with the Toyo TC-21?

Use a dedicated glass cutting fluid. Standard mineral oil or specialized cutting oils designed for glass will work effectively.

How often should I refill the oil reservoir?

This depends on the frequency of use. For extensive projects, check and refill as needed, typically every few hours of continuous scoring. For occasional use, check before each session.

Can this cutter be used for scoring acrylic or plastic?

The Toyo TC-21 is specifically designed for glass. It may not produce clean scores on acrylic or other plastics and could damage the material or the cutting wheel.

How do I adjust the saddle height?

The saddle can be reversed, and a small bushing is used to select one of four height positions. Consult the product manual or online diagrams for detailed instructions.

Is the cutting wheel replaceable?

Yes, the cutting wheel is replaceable. When it becomes dull or damaged, a new Toyo cutting wheel can be fitted.

What is the main advantage of the "Custom Grip" feature?

The Custom Grip feature, with its adjustable saddle, aims to reduce strain on the thumb and fingers by allowing them to remain in a more neutral, straight position during the scoring process.

Troubleshooting

Cutter is not scoring glass cleanly.

Ensure the oil reservoir is sufficiently filled and the cutting fluid is reaching the wheel. Check if the cutting wheel is worn and needs replacement.

Hand or finger fatigue persists.

Re-adjust the saddle to one of the other three height settings for a better fit. Ensure you are using the cutter with a light, consistent pressure.

Oil leaks from the reservoir.

Ensure the reservoir cap is screwed on tightly. Check the cap seal for any damage.

Scoring wheel does not rotate smoothly.

Clean any debris from around the cutting wheel and its housing. Ensure adequate lubrication from the oil reservoir.
