Filling the oil reservoir is not a good idea! Just enough to cover the tip end is all that is required. ...and be careful not to overtighten the threaded plug, or the reservoir will crack. I've had my Toyo Cutter for over 15 years and keep it on its side to prevent oil from leaking into the head.
The cutter's main component, the replacement head, can be used in a variety of handles.
Selected User Reviews For Toyo Pistol Grip Glass Cutter (1) (Original Version)
This pistol grip glass cutter is perfect for me as a beginner stained glass artist. I started out using a pencil grip cutter, but I couldn't get the grip right for simple cuts, and I always struggled to get a good clean cut. When this glass cutter arrived, I immediately filled it with cutting oil, and oh my gosh, what a smooth distribution of oil and lovely perfect score to break glass! The lines are silky smooth, and the grip and comfort are second to none! If you have wrist weakness, I would recommend this product because it is extremely simple to use and provides excellent results. The tip swivels and can be replaced if necessary, but I doubt I'll need to do so for a long time.
I've been cutting stained glass with Toyo cutters for years and will never use another brand. This pistol grip cutter is particularly effective for me in terms of reducing wrist fatigue. After having carpal tunnel surgery, this cutter has made a huge difference in the amount of time I can work without getting hand cramps! These cutters can last a long time if properly maintained. The cutter head is also replaceable, which is a bonus. Tip: Fill only 1/4 full with oil, stand upright in an oil well, and never run your score off the edge of your glass, and it will last as long as my previous one (15 years). *I only had to get a new one because I misplaced mine during a move.
My two Toyo oil-fed cutters should be primed before use to ensure that the oil is flowing to the cutting wheel. Unscrew the fill cap and pump the wheel on a flat surface until a speck of oil appears; Be patient; it is a lengthy process that must be completed.
Probably a little too ambitious. This was especially true when I first started cutting out the tiles. I was so glad I bought this cutter instead of the cheaper ones when I got to the part where I had to cut inside corners for the outlets. To be honest, I still struggled with some of the cuts, but it wasn't due to the cutter. I'm thinking about taking up stained glass as a hobby because I'm so taken with it. No joke. It suddenly seems doable, thanks to this cutter, which makes a seemingly impossible task a reality. Thanks!.
If at all possible. It cuts well and the cutting wheel lasts a long time, but it leaks where the grip ends and the metal assembly inserts. The two are joined by a ring. I've primed and primed, attempting to get a sufficient amount of cutting oil to dispense on the wheel, but there is no trace of lubricant transferring onto a sheet of paper (which is how I check the flow). I bought two of these, and both of them leak and don't dispense enough. As a result, I rolled the wheel in a shallow field of cutting oil before cutting the glass. Aside from that, it's a fantastic cut! You'd expect a lot more for the price of this thing.
However, good scoring technique is required. I haven't had a bad cut yet, but I've only made four scores so far, all of which have been perfect; I was looking for a new cutter and decided to give the Toyo a try; I'm glad I did! I really like the oil. system that is fed! I would recommend it to others and would buy it again if the opportunity arose.
Until I received this, I thought everything was fine. With this tool, getting a perfect score is a lot easier. Why is this? I'm not sure. The handle is better in that it does not leak oil, which is nice, but the replaceable cutting tool part is clearly better made than the one I had before, which was made of cast, plated metal. The Toyo has been machined and appears to have been built with more care.
I've experimented with a number of different brands and. These glass cutters from Toyo are of the highest quality. I've tried a few different brands, and while they appear to be the same, they don't cut cleanly, resulting in broken glass that isn't along the lines. is largely squandered Toyo cutters have been a great help to me. precision of theirs quality. There will be no more shattered glass or broken glass. My only complaint is that a replacement wheel costs nearly as much as a new cutter. Rather than buying a single replacement wheel, you should just buy a new cutter. Also, shipping was lightning fast.
