Mirror Cutter Tool Kit – A Glass Cutting Tool Made in the UK
The Amazing Glass Cutter Tool is not your ordinary mirror cutter. It is a manual tool that allows you to cut straight, radius, and wavy lines in mirror glass, stained glass, and glass tiles. The special angle ground into the scoring wheel makes it possible to cut thick mirrors, thin mirrors, glass materials, and hard tiles without damaging the wheel.
To ensure the best results, it is important to follow the instructions carefully. Practice on a spare piece of mirror glass to determine the right amount of pressure needed. Cutting on the floor rather than a solid board at waist height can result in uneven pressure and may even cause the mirror to crack prematurely.
Make sure to oil the scoring wheel regularly to keep it turning freely and prevent dragging or locking up. Holding the mirror cutting tool by the plastic grips with your strongest hand will ensure that you apply the right amount of pressure while scoring towards yourself rather than pushing away.
For different types of glass, the cutting wheel should be oiled before each cut to cool down the glass, provide a cleaner cut, and extend the life of the cutting wheel. If the oil wipes off the glass without leaving a visible score line, increase the pressure and hold the tool closer to the wheel for better control.
Watch mirror cutting videos, read tips and instructions, and download the user guide for more guidance. Soak the mirror cutting wheel in glass cutting oil and ensure it spins freely on a board to score the mirror evenly. The wheel must be oiled before every cut to prevent sticking and dragging.
When breaking the mirror, align the aluminum breaker over the score line and gently squeeze the handles. Be careful not to over-squeeze and chip the edges of the mirror. For larger mirror sheets, use a piece of wood to bend the mirror over the score line or the edge of a bench.
To cut straight lines in the mirror, place it on a board at waist height and score the front surface with a marker. Follow the line by pulling the cutter towards you and use a guide to maintain a straight line. For curves and wavy lines, draw the shape on the mirror and follow the line with the cutting tool held upright and perpendicular.
Trimming the edge of the mirror is possible with practice, but be cautious not to cut less than four times the thickness of the glass from the edge. With proper technique and following the instructions, you can achieve perfect mirror cuts every time.
