FLETCHER 01-128 GOLD TIP Tile & GLASS CUTTER Stained Glass MOSAIC Fusing Tools

This dip in oil cutter is the perfect choice for cutting wall tile, ceramic tiles and glass.  It has a hardened tool steel wheel at a 114 degree angle, perfect for cutting glass and tile.  The opposite end has a gold tapping ball.

The Perfect Score

1) To hold the glass cutter, place your thumb on the backside of the cutting wheel. Place your middle and index fingers on the front, similar to holding a pen. Your thumb and fingers should be positioned just above the cutting wheel.

2) For more control place your free hand in the same position.

3) Line up the cutting wheel with the intended score line at a slight downward angle, apply moderate pressure to the cutting wheel and push away. A good score begins at one edge of the glass and runs to the other edge. It should look like a piece of hair on the glass. If it looks like salt, you’ve pressed too hard.

This is an especially good choice for beginners because the pencil style grip is easy to work with.

Tip from the trenches: Just remember to only score your glass once and never run over a score line with your glass cutter twice. You'll get a bad break and ruin the glass cutter.
