Draper 35477 Expert Diamond Glass Cutter , Blue

Product Information

The handle is fitted between the thumb and forefinger position, which helps keep your fingers straight and provides better gip. The big benefit, however, is that it allows you to apply pressure via the handle, rather than simply using your fingers like you would with a pen-type glass cutter. 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. 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. srpshortcode id=”22072″][/srpshortcode][srpshortcode id=”22073″][/srpshortcode][srpshortcode id=”22074″][/srpshortcode]

It’s suitable for both hobbyists and professional glass cutters.The circular glass cutter is made of durable Tungsten Carbide and has a cutting life of over 30,000 meters, so you’ll get plenty of use out of it.

One of the few areas where glass cutters vary is the style. These tools are available in various designs that affect the comfort of the user. Though a cutter will not lead to fatigue, ease of use is a feature one must consider especially for people making tons of cuts. Moreover, most units can be filled with oil ensuring the wheel is ever lubricated. We suggest you invest in various glass cutters so you can switch your grasp to avoid fatigue. There are also multiple adjustment holes to help you flexible and securely fix the bottle into positions. BC Small glass articles made from moulds have been found in Egypt and Syria. The first glass was probably produced in Egypt. 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. This is a versatile glass cutter as the length of the cutting blade to the support plate can be adjusted from 12cm to 22cm. This means that you can easily cut any bottle that’s more than 3cm in diameter as long as it’s not embossed.Pencil Grip Glass Cutters – The pencil grip is the most common type of glass cutter, and it resembles a pencil just as the name implies. It is available with or without a reservoir, and on all wheel types. Your index finger has to rest on the shaft to apply pressure and to guide the tool along the surface. 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.

Whether making your own stained-glass windows, or undertaking some other creative home project with glass, having the right tools for the job at hand is critical. Self Oiling: Keeping the cutting head lubricate ensure a clean, neat, and accurate cut. Self-oiling models save time and patience. Styles Of Glass Cutters 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. In the Middle Ages, glass was cut with a heated and sharply pointed iron rod. The red hot point was drawn along the moistened surface of the glass causing it to snap apart. Fractures created in this way were not very accurate and the rough pieces had to be chipped or "grozed" down to more exact shapes with a hooked tool called a grozing iron. Grip is also hugely important when it comes to glass cuttingtools. Youmay be looking for a pen-style cutter that offers optimum flexibility, or you may need a saddle cutter for extra support if you have arthritis.When properly lubricated a steel wheel can give a long period of satisfactory service. However, tungsten carbide wheels have been proven to have a significantly longer life than steel wheels and offer greater and more reproducible penetration in scoring, as well as easier opening of the scored glass.

Custom Grip – This is a new design and one we recommend for its flexibility, longer life, a better score, and improved comfort. The glass cutters have an oil-filled custom grip, which is compact and includes a saddle that one holds between the index finger and the thumb. The saddle happens to be adjustable to 4 different heights for flexibility. You will also appreciate the tap-wheel design as makes taps as you score leading to deeper cuts. Finally, it needs less pressure. Another C. R. Lawrence glass cutter, this is the perfect tool if you’re after a cutter that offers excellent grip.
