18 reviewsSimply apply a small amount of oil to the area that you'll be scoring, then apply gentle vertical pressure onto the handle and turn one full circle. Do not go over the score line more than once as this will cause the head to become blunt.
This lens cutter cuts a variety of different sized circles ranging from 12mm (1/2") diameter up to 127mm (5") diameter.
It's new and cuts really well but the guide lines are only in inches and only on the horizontal which makes centring opal glass tricky. Markings on the vertical and also in Cm would be helpful.
What an absolute find! Makes cutting small circles so simple, once you are used to it. Just be sure to tighten the screen holding the cutting head in position tight enough to prevent it slipping and you will have perfect circle score lines !
Also use a piece of Non slip matting under your glass, I think they should include it to fit the bed, but that's just me I guess!
I love it! Once I got the hang of using a tiny drop of oil on the glass in front of the cutter, it cuts the glass like a dream. Following Warm Glass's video on breaking out a circle made the whole thing easy.
I love this and now love cutting circles! Excellent well made product.
I have to re-review this product as I have now replaced the cutting wheel and it is cutting circles easiy!
This was so frustrating after receiving this piece of equipment and it didn't work well at all without pressing so hard and then it would take forever to cut just a couple of circles. So I was obviously gutted, but in the end put it to the back of the cupboard.
I recently received a commission to do lots of circles and I groaned inwardly and said yes of course! Decided to get the circle cutter out again and it was a nightmare. Ordered a new cutting wheel and it's brilliant. Going through them so easily. Love it! So pleased with this now.
I contacted Warm Glass and told them that since replacing the cutting wheel, it is working very well indeed and they have reimbursed me the cost of the replacement cutting wheel.
Thank you so much Warm Glass.
It interesting reading the other reviews as I have not experienced the difficulties others have. I have had mine for a while now and apart from making sure I retighten the handle as it unscrews as you use it, it is fabulous. In the last month I have cut 110 9cm circles (and many more before that) and I am still using the first of the 3 cutting wheels. I wouldn't be without it
