Diamond Tipped Glass Cutter – Key FAQs

• What glass thickness can this cutter handle?
  It’s suitable for glass from 2mm to 8mm thick.

• What is the snap-off vice used for?
  The brass snap-off vices help you apply controlled pressure to break the glass cleanly along the scored line.

• Do I need to score the line more than once?
  No—one firm, continuous score is best. Re-scoring can cause uneven breaks and a rougher edge.

• What’s the benefit of a diamond tip?
  A diamond tip provides consistent scoring and can offer good durability for regular glass cutting tasks.

• Is the handle designed for control?
  Yes, it has a contoured grip and a flat thumb rest to help guide the cutter accurately and reduce slipping.

• Is it suitable for all types of glass?
  It’s designed for standard sheet glass within the thickness range. For specialist glass (e.g., toughened), cutting may not be possible always confirm the glass type before starting.
