Product Information

They get their name from the dual-wheel style meaning they’re perfect for easily‘nipping’the edge of tiles to ensure they fit perfectly. It’s also helpful if you suffer from arthritis in your fingers, and it can help reduce fatigue during long cutting jobs. You can vary the saddle in four positions for increasing versatility.

This cutter comes as part of a completely glass cutting kit, which includes a fixing baffle, non-slip gloves, sandpaper, a cleaning sponge, a spare blade, and a drill bit. The cutter kit is designed for cutting round bottles, particularly wine and beer bottles. Glass cutters have a pen style or pistol-grip design. Pistol grip models are more comfortable for the long run on big cutting projects as they fit the hand better. There are several variations available for pistol grip models, such as Wheel Diameter

The body of this glass cutter is made of carbon steel while the wheel is made of carbide, so it’s a strong and durable tool. First fluoride glass was discovered by Marcel and Michael Poulain and Jacques Lucas in Rennes, France In addition to these basic glass cutting tools, Dortech Direct Ltd also offers specialized glass cutting tools, such as circle cutters, glass scoring tools, and glass pliers. These tools are designed to provide specific cutting solutions for unique cutting applications and can be used in conjunction with other glass cutting tools to create precise and efficient cutting solutions. Glass cutters are manufactured with wheels of varying diameters. [5] One of the most popular has a diameter of 5.5mm ( 7⁄ 32in). The ratio between the arc of the wheel and the pressure applied with the tool has an important bearing on the degree of penetration. Average hand pressure with this size wheel often gives good results. For a duller wheel on soft glass a larger wheel (e.g., 6mm ( 1⁄ 4in) will require no change in hand pressure. A smaller wheel (3mm ( 1⁄ 8in)) is appropriate for cutting patterns and curves since a smaller wheel can follow curved lines without dragging.

Another popular glass cutting tool offered by Dortech Direct Ltd is the manual glass cutter. This tool is designed for simple, manual cutting of glass, and is ideal for smaller cutting jobs or for use in areas where electricity is not available. The manual glass cutter features a cutting wheel that is advanced along the surface of the glass to make a score line. The glass is then snapped along the score line to create a clean, precise cut. TheB Bloomoak Heavy Duty Circular Glass Cutterhas a compass style with a round knob handle that fits comfortably in the palm of your hand, so it’s easy to use. It also has an automatic oil dispenser for smoother use and to protect the cutter from rusting. English glassmaker George Ravenscroft patented a formula for lead glass, heavy, clear glass, ideal for cutting.First, you need to consider the type of wheel on your device. Steel wheels don’t last long, but then they are affordable. Use these to make scores on softer glass, so they don’t dull fast and for general purposes. Tungsten carbide, on the other hand, happens to be expensive but lasts longer. When you are not using the instrument, store it in a jar and ensure the cutting head is covered by a lubricant to reduce any likelihood of oxidation. To use it, all you need to do is place the bottle on the support plate, apply pressure and rotate the glass bottle. After you’ve made the cut, slowly rinse it with hot and cold water alternately for three times and the bottle will separate. There’s also the brass handle, which is comfortable to grip and makes for easy cutting. As brass doesn’t corrode, the handle is also long lasting. We don’t all cut glass like they do in this video, but the tool is one that I know how to use, and I’ll actually be using one this week to cut my full sheets into smaller squares for my students to use. A glass cutter may use a diamond to create the split, but more commonly a small cutting wheel made of hardened steel or tungsten carbide 4–6 mm in diameter with a V-shaped profile called a “hone angle” is used.
