Stained Glass Cutter, Made in UK Professional 2-in-1 Stained Glass Cutting Tool with Built-in Running Pliers and Carbide Scoring Wheel – So No Reaching for Two Tools, Incl. Step-by-Step Cutting Guide

Works Great! Be sure to watch the video! cut thick glass with it. saved my self a bunch of money.

So I have been incorporating glass into my woodworking projects for a couple of years now. I always struggle with cutting the glass. When I know I have a project with glass, I worry about it. I have used different types of cutters, and it is always hit and miss. I have wasted a lot of glass. It is probably the result of poor technique on my part. I purchased this product, watched the video on how to use it, and made a flawless cut in seconds. Big game changer for me.

You have to get use to it but it does a good job on thin to medium. If you use it on thicker glass doesnt seem to always run along the score. However does a pretty decent job.

This is the absolute best glass cutter I have seen in my 70 years of life. Smooth cut, easy to control and, best of all, the part of the tool that separates the cut piece is a life saver. So happy to have found this tool.

The description and video make it seem like this cutter is a breeze and is capable of very complex cuts given the large handle. In reality the instructions say not to use the handle for mechanical advantage and to grip as close to the wheel as possible in order to apply the correct pressure. But of course then the handle is in the way which defeats the purpose. None of my cuts followed the score lines at all. It did not matter how short or thin the glass was. The oil only made things worse. The wheel would skip instead of make a solid score line.

I bought this as an experiment because I needed a way to cut a large, 1/4" thick mirror into three smaller mirrors. The glass shop was really expensive, so I thought this was worth a try. I was disappointed. It works about as well as the less expensive glass cutters, but definitely could not cut a straight edge on the mirror. Perhaps I am not experienced enough, or the mirror was too big. Whatever, the reason, I was disappointed.

I had the idea of hanging a bunch of mirrors on my office walls as an art installation, so off to thrift stores I went. Amongst already framed mirrors, I also got two very large (24" x 36" & 36" x 40") frameless mirrors, one thin (<1/8") and the other thick (>1/4"). I also picked up a bunch of thrift shop frames ranging from 8" x 10" to 4" x 6". That's when I ordered the glass cutter. I was very nervous about cutting the mirrors since I had never done it before. I reviewed the amusingly-written instructions included with the glass cutter over and over as I worked up my courage. Once I took the plunge, I was pleased to find out that this glass cutter is amazingly effective. I did the thin mirror first since I thought it would be easier. The thick mirror was actually the easier one. I only had 2-3 cuts (Out of several dozen) that didn't quite break as desired (Wavering line or small bulge). This was TOTALLY My Bad - I got careless during the cut. With my handy-dandy glass cutter I was able to salvage the mis-cut pieces. All in all, I ended up with over 40 small mirrors that look really cute in their mix of secondhand frames on my office walls. I did contact the seller with two questions. One was about the lack of that red padding thing in the clamp used to snap the glass. The other was about the lack of the Union Jack emblem pictured. The seller responded within a few hours. Turns out the red thing was in the baggie with the oil (Teach me to shoot off emails without checking all package contents!). The emblem was just for the ad since the "Made in UK" stamp in the metal was not clearly visible in the photo. This was slightly disappointing as I am an Anglophile and had liked the emblem, but I drew my own mutant version on in permanent marker, so all is well. Point is, the seller responded to my unfounded concerns promptly - I really appreciated it. That and the fact that the glass cutter worked so well that I, a novice to glass cutting, was able to use it so effectively first time out of the gate. I'm totally out of office wall space but have found that I like cutting glass - ESPECIALLY the the part when I *snap* it in two (It's oddly satisfying). Sooo... I'm now eyeing the hall - I think it could probably be brightened up with the addition of few custom-cut mirrors. Off to the thrift shops!

I watched and read all the documentation and wonder how they made it look so easy! It is NOT easy at all and you better have some spare stuff to cut to practice.

Cuts well enough but no reservoir so you need to dip by hand. The handles aren’t comfortable to apply the right pressure and the flaps of the pliers part make it difficult to see your cutting line. Not my favourite tool fo cutting glass for mosaics.

Great to use, lightweight for my hands. Happy with purchase

I followed the instructions and it works as shown.

Excellent product cut the greenhouse glass with no problems

Tricky to use initially but once you get the hang of it it's OK. Good quality and british made 😀👍🏻
