I have a lens cutter and use it all the time. You are doing a great job with it. The only suggestion I have is cutting a strip from the larger sheet. It's hard to balance the bigger and heavier glass on such a small surface. As for the flares, the grinder will take care of it. I always grind the edges and they fuse so much better in the kiln. Have fun with your new purchase.

Thanks for the advise. I cut, ground and am firing a bunch tonight!

I use a piece of non slip shelf liner under mine, makes a huge difference, I also put oil on mine, just using a paper towel

I saw another video where the person used a small wad embedded with cutting oil, put it under the cutter head ran it around first then cut the glass. Also put a small piece of rubberized shelf liner on the base to hold the glass.

The circle cutter is made to sit into a glass cutting grid, for sale on many stained glass sites. It has feet that fit into the grid that stabilizes it.

wow, thanks for this. I have been struggling to cut the circle out once I made it. It looks like you really pressed down to cut it and then just used the running pliers to pop it out. I have been trying to use other cut lines to the outside and it doesn't work very well. Will try this.

Thanks for watching! This usually works well for me, but expect a few failures. Acquire some plate glass from a glass dealer (scrap) and practice on that. Good luck.

Never used one like that but I would clamp it down to my surface and maybe clamp the glass to it as well. :P I have a lot of clamps. :D - Heidi

I use a material called dycem to keep the glass from moving. Don't know how common it is to find.

How tight do you tighten the cutter head

@CaptMike 15 күн бұрын

I haven't used this cutter since the video, so I'll have to check and see. Most stuff is only hand tight.

If you can find one online I am sure they would send one to most countries. Amazon sells one here: www.amazon.com/Diamond-Tech-LG401156-Easy-Cut-Cutter/dp/B0085JFIRI/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3EB9BS7ZDR7RW&keywords=easy+cut+lens+cutter&qid=1664767944&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIxLjIwIiwicXNhIjoiMS4wNSIsInFzcCI6IjAuOTcifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=easy+cut+lens+cutter%2Caps%2C86&sr=8-2. Go to that link and ask a question. Someone is sure to know.
