**Toyo Comfort Grip Supercutter ** amzn.to/2i6Ex5X
The cutters I use all the time are made by Toyo. I personally prefer the pencil grip - called the Comfort Grip Supercutter - but others love the pistol grip - called a Pistol Grip SuperCutter. It’s all a matter of preference.
🔸It’s lighter and more comfortable than others I’ve tried and cuts down on cramp
🔸Lasts for ages, with replaceable head. I’ve had mine for years
🔸It has an ingenious pressure system for dispensing oil, which also enables you to gauge how much pressure you need to score a piece of glass
🔸Very good for general purpose and frequent use
**Toyo Pistol Grip Cutter** amzn.to/2WWFAv4
**Grozer/Breaker Pliers** amzn.to/34H5uFB
These are particularly useful and have two uses:
🔸As breaking pliers by lining up the end of the jaws along your scoreline and snapping the glass along the score line.
🔸Or as grozers, which means using the serrated edges of the jaws to remove stubborn nubs and tidy edges during cutting.

Amazing!! After moving house two and half years ago, and with a lot of work to be done on the house, I had to leave my mosaicing and stained glass until now. I’m ready to start over and can’t wait to make garden mosaics and stained glass hangings. Your tutorials are so clear and to the point. Thank you.

[@everything-stained-glass]

Thank you so much, that's a nice comment to read on a Monday morning :-)

[@joychip5994]

Everything Stained Glass you are I believe it to be true I watch hundreds of how to do ! Yours are the best Thanks

[@liekevdhoven]

You are amazing!! I wish I found you earlier.

[@everything-stained-glass]

Thanks for your kind comment Lieke. I'm glad to be of help on your stained glass journey.

[@nekoac2122]

You dipped your cutting wheel in oil? thank you for your great videos!

[@everything-stained-glass]

Yes I do Neko. Putting a bit of oil and a bit of sponge in a jar and dipping prevents leakage from the barrel and is more easily controlled. Glad you like my videos.

[@aryah1513]

Thank you miss! I am so happy I kept some scraps to practice what I'm learning with for my next project! I wonder if I need to buy a higher quality glass scorer or if there's something I'm doing wrong but my score line never starts where I want it to... it will often start in the middle of my stroke. It's always oiled. I don't know if maybe it's rusting on a microscopic level and I'm just not aware or what.

[@everything-stained-glass]

It's more likely that you're not applying even pressure along the whole length of the score Arya. If you have a look at this page it outlines good cutting practice: everythingstainedglass.com/key-perfect-scoreline . I also have many tutorials here - all free: everythingstainedglass.com/how-to-cut-stained-glass . I hope that helps.

[@KT-bg7dq]

wow thank you for this.

[@everything-stained-glass]

You're most welcome K T. Glad it helped.

[@imanhussein1]

This is helpful. Thank you so much! Waiting for a tutorial shows how to cut small equal squares. Whenever I try, I get various sizes and some get broken. 😫

[@everything-stained-glass]

Glad it was useful Iman, thanks. Strip cutters are good for cutting identical shapes repeatedly.

[@denisestover2416]

Could you have used running pliers instead of the grozers?

[@everything-stained-glass]

Only if there's enough room on either side of the score for the running pliers to fit on the glass - but then it wouldn't be a thin strip :-)

[@unboxingthingsidontneed]

I try to cut 1.5 mm glass but it always cuts in weird way. Let me try again. Do you have any tips ?

[@everything-stained-glass]

This thin glass is picture glass and isn't really suitable for stained glass as it's too thin and breaks too easily. That's probably why you're having problems; that or pressing too hard. Your best bet is to buy some dedicated stained glass - 3mm thick - and see how you go with that. Hope that helps

[@unboxingthingsidontneed]

@@everything-stained-glass For making picture frames I can only use 1.5 mm glass I am getting better at it but its still sometimes go crazy, I love the satisfaction of a clean cut. Thanks for responding

[@tomashulenyi5395]

😄🤦 ... a funny video ... showing how you can cut a 130 cm belt ? 🤔

[@everything-stained-glass]

I think we have different understanding of what a joke is Tom?
