I have been working on stained glass off and on for 10 years. I have tried so many cutters but I always go back to my TOYO. I love your videos, I wish they had been available when I started my glass journey. Thanks!
I'm in the process of buying all the necessary tools! The very beginning of a beginner haha. I've been watching all of your videos and have found them all so helpful. I especially appreciate the video on all the necessary tools. Thank you for doin what you do 👍🏽 Not sure what my first project will be but I want to get up to being able to do a crescent moon. It's what originally sparked my interest in glass cutting
@Kellie McCarthy how did you do with stained glass? I'm working on my very first project, I didn't think it would be so hard 😊. I'm doing the honeycomb project.
Been wanting to start doing stained glass for a while now. My mom did it for a while back in the day, and it was always cool to see them in progress.. i think my first piece will be a tattoo related design, but i also love the terrarium you did..thanks for the inspiration. Also love the videos where you’re walking around Osaka. The graveyard is amazing.
Digging this so much! I am a newbie and you were THE artist that got me moving on this journey! My Husband and I have spent many mornings "together" watching your videos for inspiration and are so thankful you are willing to share your knowledge :). Super stoked to show you the project I've been working on--I have started to collect drift wood that will ultimately become the bases for a series of triangles. Think desk name plate--but sickkk! Looking forward to seeing more of your work!
I love your videos! I'm just now getting into glass cutting. I plan on buying up some tools in the next few weeks and giving it a try! I really want to try the honeycomb you did a while back! You have taught me a lot.
I started my first ever window ,a triple peace rose window, but I'd use this cutter if I win it on there for sure, next is a multi colour tree of life for my son as a gift to him for helping me build my cabin. I'm so glad I didn't let my setbacks stop me from trying stained glass one more time.
I decided a few days ago to start this hobby! I stumbled across your videos and watched them all!! You make this feel very approachable! I’m so excited to start playing around with this!! I don’t have any equipment yet. This video was so helpful!!! I appreciate you and your videos! You are a great teacher. The cutting tool would be one of my first tools!!
You’re so generous with your community it’s awesome! I’m still a bit of a beginner but I’d like to make my “special people” (my mother, my fiancé, my best friend) glass dream catchers.
So thankful for the budget build list! I'm just getting started in stained glass, watching every video I can find to study up. For my first project, I'd like to model it off of the small square plastic bread bag tie thing to remind myself to get that bread or make a simple Taiwan flag. Love your content!
I want to try a new cutter! Ive not tried Toyo!! Next project is a sign for my friends garden pub! Currently sketching! Love your vids, nice to see some glass videos in the same year! 😆
I'm totally a beginner, just made small project at the moment, even though some were pretty ambitious with lots of small pieces. My next project will be a panel for my boyfriend duo band with portrait of him and the singer. I already draw and coloured the pattern and I really love it and I love the fact that both of them are recognizable even if there are no facial features. I'm so looking forward to receive all the glass I ordered to get started!
Great video. Thank you for being so informative. I have a few stained glass supplies but haven't started any projects yet. I think my first project will be a hummingbird.
Thank you for this video! I am looking at getting into the hobby and am starting to do my research on what I need to get going. My first project will be something wizard of oz related, maybe a yellow brick road or some ruby slippers.
So I’ve been watching your brilliant video tutorials and you’ve inspired me to have a go at making the 3 feathers and the dream catcher with many triangles...so that means many many cutting up of lovely glass. I love the cutter you use. It was cool seeing all the different cutters of which I know nothing so thank you for the reviewing. I have a basic cutter as I’m new to stained glass. As a grandmother I believe it’s never to late to learn so thank you for teaching me. I think the giveaway cutters are lovely 😊 and perhaps one would help me with all the many triangles I’ve got to cut out. I really love cutting glass, I love the sound it makes. Take care and thank you for your time and patience. Keep making beautiful things .. it makes a difference 🌿🍰
Just ordered all the things I need to start this beautiful hobby. Thank you so much for this review. I will definitely check out Toyo’s website and more reviews on their cutters. Thank you again.
really amazing in depth video! i think my next project will be a little mountain scene for my dad with some really pretty purple and blue glass i have. father’s day is coming up and he wants to move to the mountains one day, so i think it’ll be a nice gift for him.
Thank you! I was researching glass cutters for a beginners - so this is perfect timing. :) My first project is going to be a stained glass bicycle wheel for the garden and a lady bug.
Thanks for the whole review! I ended up buying my current Toyo cutter because of your videos. I finally got set up at home since the studio I was taking classes at has been closed since March. My next big project is hopefully going to be a transom or a pair of window shutters for my room. Small projects have just been suncatchers to practice my soldering at home. Thanks for all your tips!
Cool video. I didn't know they made a brochure on the tips. If I won I would use it on my next project which is going to be a unicorn. Keep up the cool videos :) the Feathers turned out well. Looking forward to seeing your next project.
Great review, I use the Toyo pistol cutter because I busted my knuckle a few years ago and I can't put enough pressure on the straight ones. I am currently making flower garden picks.
Thanks for the comparison!!! I am also a Toyo girl. Still a beginner... started in Sept of 2019. Currently using the pistol grip. My current projects include a cardinal panel I designed, 2 5x5 Frank Lloyd Wright copycat pieces, and just started a 16” Art Nouveau (by Worden) lamp today.
Thanks for this video! I'm in the process of ordering tools and couldn't decide on pencil grip or pistol grip. After watching this, I'm ordering the pistol grip one. Not sure what my first project is going to be yet, but I want it to be colorful.
I don't have an Instagram account, however, your videos are very helpful to me. I recently retired and I'm looking to revisit the art of stained glass as a productive pastime. Thank you!
As I’m coping with changes to life due to covid, and I’m laid off from my job after 35 years, I really need something to help my moral. I’ve always admired & been drawn to stained glass. Always loved it wanted to learn. Thank you for your helpful and informative videos. You are a virtual friend to me in hard times. Might any give aways still be available? I’m just starting out. Learning stained glass is good for my soul.
This was a very informative video! You did the shopping for me lol If I won the cutter it'd be used for my first project which will be a honeycomb design sun-catcher like you made in a previous video ☺️
This was a great informational video! I would love to use a cutter on my future 3D flower projects. I keep killing my real plants so I've been wanting to create something that will survive my black thumb.
I just found you. Just started a glass glass five weeks ago. Love your help! I absolutely LOVE every bit of it except foiling. My weakness. Was looking for a glass cutter that worked with me. I started on the pistol grip. Was curious about the pen grip cutters. Am hooked on stained glass. Never knew anything could take the place of a glass of red wine. This is my red wine. Thank you for your tutoring.
Thank you for introducing me to making lemonade out of my non fusing projects (glass too expensive) I hope your family is well thank you for brightening our world with color
I already follow you on both insta and TH-cam 😉 wish I had this review a few months ago when I was trying to decide what cutter to get, it's very helpful! I'd definitely practice cutting glass (since I still am terrible at it), and then try to do something 3D, probably some sort if terrarium for a small plant to give to a very good friend. She just renovated her patio and is looking for things to decorate it with 😍
Wow! You really had your work "cut" out for you! 😂 Great review. So many beautiful tools. I have one of those large grip cutters from a big box store but no TAP technology. Not only that but it leaks. Thanks so much for all of the detailed info along with the demo. I will be upgrading! Congrats on the Subs. Well deserved.👏👍Since I suddenly have time I am making a variety Christmas gifts but the feather is my go-to.
I’ve been buying supplies for a dichroic glass jewelry and home accessories online business. I learned a lot from your u tube video on glass cutters. Since everything is new to me in the glass world any guidance on what supplies to use and firing schedules is greatly appreciated. I’m guessing the contest to win one of the cutters may be over. The one with the hand grip seems most appealing to me. Thank you for all your help. Janeen
This was fantastic to see as a new hobbyist to the craft. I recently found your channel but have had a long time interest in stained glass. Your videos have been a nice insight and I'm not as scared to try now. I did recently purchase a Toyo customizable cutter since it looked like it scored high reviews. Even if I don't win the giveaway, it was great to see how each one worked and how to pull things apart and which piece feeds where. My first project is going to be some yard art for a friend. I'm going to go with a Bob Ross feel and aim for some happy little trees or mushrooms and hope that anything I'm willing to practice, I can do. Keep on keepin on!
I just scored a glass grinder and batch of glass from OfferUp and can’t wait to make my first project! I’m thinking of making a simple, small, and geometric ornament. Thanks for your content! I can’t wait to start creating.
Thanks for the great review of these Toyo glass cutters. Looking to replace my glass cutter. I just finished a retirement gift glass project and a tribute to those who sacrifice for us. I will be working on a 22 x 28 panel for my living room next. Sent you a pic.
Great video! I actually bought a Toyo custom grip because of watching your videos and I love it! One thing I noticed with this video, some of the cutters have a brass tapping ball on the back end of them and some of them don’t. That little ball can be a huge help when tapping a score line on a tight curve. Can’t wait to see your next project!!
Ah good point about the brass end. I forgot to bring that up! It is pretty helpful though I always feel like I’m about to bust the glass with it with every hit! 😅😂
I just started (like this weekend haha) my first project was ROUGH. Haha Loving your videos. I’m an artist, so I think my sketches are a little ambitious, but I’m so excited to get more comfortable with this art!
I don't really have any social media only pinterest and i don't even think that counts haha, so i literally just made an instagram account in order to be part of this giveaway and future ones as well lol you are officially the first and only person I am following at this point in time 😆 im sure i will begin to follow other amazing artists as well! I am still a beginner, but i think i want to make a corner piece to hang in one of the doorways in my house 😊 Thanks for the great video!! Look forward to the next one 👍
Get the cutter body that feels comfortable in your hand. Aside from the dry TC-22 cutter there are 3 other types of cutting wheels for pattern (thin head) cutting. TC-10 is described as a smooth wheel. This is the original I’ve always used it, it works great. Then newer wheels are Tap (TC-600 & 21) tight curves and the Trac wheel that has more grip. Most of these wheels are interchangeable but the TC-21 custom grip super cutter. I switched to Silberschnitt. They IMO make the best cutters.
I’m brand new to cut glass and looking for a cutter for old, arthritic hands. This review was very informative. I’m deciding between the TC600PRV pistol grip. But I’m also very intrigued by the TC21PVR
I swear I have been searching for a video like this for about 2 months. I started doing stained glass about six months ago and have been using my dads old glass cutter from the 70s!! Itls a piece of work but I wanted to make sure this is something I would stick with before investing more money into it. Anywho I've been googling like crazy and a video like this simply does not exist. It's exactly what I was looking for, someone who knows what they're doing, going over the different styles and different wheels. If I don't win this giveaway, I'm absolutely going to get a Toyo cutter because of this video. Also, I would like to hear your opinion on the pistol grip with doing small detailed work, as I've heard some say it is a bit more difficult. Just if you get around to it. thanks for your videos!! They've helped me along the way.
Your video is perfect to make your choice before buying your own glass cutter 😍 for my next project, i would love to try (Again) to make a moon with a fern inside. I struggle with curves 😅
Can you explain the swivel function--do you have to hold it a certain way? I just received a Toyo TC21V from Amazon but no instructions so your review is super helpful. I just started doing glass mosaic; this will be my first glass cutter. Thanks
Already a subscriber and follower on Instagram! I just started and your videos are very informative. I made a hummingbird for my MIL! :) I've sent through 2 "big box" store cutters and would love to try a different brand! 😊
Thanks for the review, good info. All of them look as if they cut better than the one I bought at Ace, which will not cut at all with 50 pounds of pressure on it. Just wonder why a mfg would make eight variation of the same tool. Just make 2-3 shapes at the most. For something different I would expect a diamond wheel or micro teeth on the edge of the wheel or even a different grind angle on the wheel.
This is amazing, Here in the philippines it is hard to look for one of these, though in Manila , but here in Cebu, Philippines ive been looking for weeks, already, and your reviews just made me wanna have it already😓😭
You are indeed a good instructor, you take a lot of the pressure out of what can be quite intimidating. I’ve noticed that when cutting you tend to pull on straight cuts with a ruler but then you switch to pushing when you cut curves. Is there a particular reason you’ve chosen this method or did it develop through trial and error? I’m just developing my cutting style and I want to learn best habits.
It's very much all about preference and what works best for you. I like to push for curves and sometimes pull for straight cuts. But you'll see others go the opposite and hold the cutters completely different from you and it's all good as long as it works for you IMHO.🤙
I like your video and products. I made Sri Yantra dream catcher for my friend birthday reference with your video. I have started to make stained glass after I made that the dream catcher. You are my teacher! Next would be some wild flowers. I want to use TC600.
Hi mate. When making candle holders is there any bowls you can purchase or something for the candle to sit in or would you recommend simply soldering a circle for a tealight to sit in?? Cheers, great channel 👍🏻
I’m not too artistic, but I’m rehabbing old wooden sash windows... which requires replacing glass. I have some old window glass that I am repurposing, and being that it’s thicker and older than new glass I’m having a difficult time cutting it. Any suggestions regarding the best suited glass cutter? Many thanks!
@@StainedGlassDIY that makes me gasp because I am in the process of buying stained glass scraps by the pound on ebay for a concrete bathroom vanity top project (new adventure, cross your fingers!). No scrap is to small to save and sell! LOL
Hello there. I'm probably to late for the give away but I thought I would rop u a message anyways. I've been following u on you tube for a few weeks now and I love your work, your very inspiring to me and you attention to detail is awesome👌 I'm totallynew to this art form and it's taken me a while to get to where I am w this new adventure but I have yet to try it . I feel very passionate about making something amazing like a seahorse or a turtle but I'm also afraid that I'm going to completely mess it up and fail which is a given I know. Thanks again for posting videos and for introducing stained glass art to me!! ❤️
I would be able to make cleaner cuts with this cutter, and finally make a spiderweb piece for my best friend. I have kept myself from doing certain projects out of fear of ruining them and precious glass especially during the pandemic because I don’t have decent access to decent and affordable glass.
So I'm looking for a glass cutter that I can clamp into my vice so that I can press a wine/liquor bottles up against it to get a score line. I was going to buy a kit of some sort but I know I would want to also cut glass by hand. I want to get more out of my glass cutter purchase. Do u recommend if anyone these will work or a different one all together for what I want to do? Thanks in advance.
Hi! If you're going to clamp it I think the bigger pistol grip makes sense for the wider handle for the clamp to hold on to vs the other pen types. I don't know if that's what people do for scoring bottles but maybe they have special kits for certain cutter styles. Also a straight head is wider than the pattern head so something to think about. Let me know what you find!
Hi :) I have a question that has been bugging me, but no one seems to know the answer to this one. So, some cutters have a thin head and some are wider. All of yours when you lay them out look like the thin style. Do you know what the difference is?
Yes these are all pattern heads for cutting stained glass. The wider ones also work but are used mostly for cutting straight lines like in making windows. Hope that helps!
Hi from Ireland!! I've been following you on Instagram and TH-cam ever since lock down hit and I feel like your my teacher!I have watched every video you have made. Your videos are teaching and encouraging me to get braver each time. I really like how you explain the things because you talk also about the things than can go wrong so it's so much more helpful. Because of your videos I have been able to progress so much more and I've got the bug. I've been using a cheap cutter it cost about 3dollars? It doesn't have a wheel or oil chamber so if I were lucky enough to win this I'd really appreciate it so much.... It would be like Christmas for me in this lockdown. I plan to make geometric bird flying over a crescent moon because...... Oh, crescent moons do break my heart and my glass supplies... Still struggling with them but haven't given up hope. I've been chopping up all my old picture frames and mirrors. Now is a good time to say thank you for your videos and enthusiasm in a weird time. Cutting glass has really helped me get through this lockdown and I'm obsessed with that sound! All the very best, take care and thank you. (@Wednesdaystribe......is my instagram)
Tc21PVR looks like one I'd be interested in getting and working with. I have a basic ball end that I find palm pressure helps so much more with the cutting.
Hello sir good to know the detail information regarding glass cutter.....I wish to learn this art it will be great help if you gift me this valuable give away so I as a beginner get motivation 🙏🙂
Thank you for this video. I am a stained glass art beginner , so I really needed to know more about the glass cutters. PS. I am working on a Swan project and then a rose project. I just subscribed to your channel and followed you on Instagram...add me to the free giveaway ( the cutter, oil and pamphlet ) thanks 😊👍
Thank you 🙏 so much for this. I’m a newbie at stained glass. Your tutorials are clearcut and to-the-point, which is appreciated ☺️🙌🌿
I have been working on stained glass off and on for 10 years. I have tried so many cutters but I always go back to my TOYO. I love your videos, I wish they had been available when I started my glass journey. Thanks!

Good review..helps me choose the one for me
Great glass cutting tool I like it
Super useful review. What I would do with that cutter is make a stained-glass 3D snake sculpture for my desk.
Thank you for the review. My next project will be something for my wife.
This was a very informative video! You did the shopping for me lol
If I won the cutter it'd be used for my first project which will be a honeycomb design sun-catcher like you made in a previous video ☺️
wow, that's the best way to advertise! I'll definitely be buying Toyo, greetings from México!
Toyos are great, you'll love it! ✌️
This was a great informational video! I would love to use a cutter on my future 3D flower projects. I keep killing my real plants so I've been wanting to create something that will survive my black thumb.

Great review!, Thank you for sharing 👍 I will be working on some American Flags in the coming days 🇺🇸
Great video! I actually bought a Toyo custom grip because of watching your videos and I love it! One thing I noticed with this video, some of the cutters have a brass tapping ball on the back end of them and some of them don’t. That little ball can be a huge help when tapping a score line on a tight curve. Can’t wait to see your next project!!
Ah good point about the brass end. I forgot to bring that up! It is pretty helpful though I always feel like I’m about to bust the glass with it with every hit! 😅😂
Me too! It’s can be so stressful but so useful some times!
I just started (like this weekend haha) my first project was ROUGH. Haha Loving your videos. I’m an artist, so I think my sketches are a little ambitious, but I’m so excited to get more comfortable with this art!
Hehe glad you started but you know it’ll get better!
I don't really have any social media only pinterest and i don't even think that counts haha, so i literally just made an instagram account in order to be part of this giveaway and future ones as well lol you are officially the first and only person I am following at this point in time 😆 im sure i will begin to follow other amazing artists as well!
I am still a beginner, but i think i want to make a corner piece to hang in one of the doorways in my house 😊
Thanks for the great video!! Look forward to the next one 👍
Get the cutter body that feels comfortable in your hand. Aside from the dry TC-22 cutter there are 3 other types of cutting wheels for pattern (thin head) cutting. TC-10 is described as a smooth wheel. This is the original I’ve always used it, it works great. Then newer wheels are Tap (TC-600 & 21) tight curves and the Trac wheel that has more grip. Most of these wheels are interchangeable but the TC-21 custom grip super cutter.
I switched to Silberschnitt. They IMO make the best cutters.
I’m brand new to cut glass and looking for a cutter for old, arthritic hands. This review was very informative. I’m deciding between the TC600PRV pistol grip. But I’m also very intrigued by the TC21PVR
I love the TC21 and probably a little more than the pistol grip
I swear I have been searching for a video like this for about 2 months. I started doing stained glass about six months ago and have been using my dads old glass cutter from the 70s!! Itls a piece of work but I wanted to make sure this is something I would stick with before investing more money into it. Anywho I've been googling like crazy and a video like this simply does not exist. It's exactly what I was looking for, someone who knows what they're doing, going over the different styles and different wheels. If I don't win this giveaway, I'm absolutely going to get a Toyo cutter because of this video. Also, I would like to hear your opinion on the pistol grip with doing small detailed work, as I've heard some say it is a bit more difficult. Just if you get around to it. thanks for your videos!! They've helped me along the way.
I've wanted a video like this too so here it is! I'm glad it's helpful for you 🤙
I was just looking for a glass cutter comparison review... I feel so seen omg
😂 Same

Your video is perfect to make your choice before buying your own glass cutter 😍 for my next project, i would love to try (Again) to make a moon with a fern inside. I struggle with curves 😅
Thanks! Yea curves are super evil 👿
I work for alied glass in in lake Charles Louisiana and would love to try any glass cutters you got 👍🙏
Toyo's got the best stuff!
Can you explain the swivel function--do you have to hold it a certain way? I just received a Toyo TC21V from Amazon but no instructions so your review is super helpful. I just started doing glass mosaic; this will be my first glass cutter. Thanks
Wow I am a beginner this has been a dream of mine but I think it might still be a dream
Nice glass cutters
Was thinking about cutters and I love this 💛 I use the C600PRV and hold it it both hands fingers on the head you have more control over it 😊✌️💛
I’ll try that sometime, thanks!
Already a subscriber and follower on Instagram! I just started and your videos are very informative. I made a hummingbird for my MIL! :) I've sent through 2 "big box" store cutters and would love to try a different brand! 😊
Thank you! Toyo will be a good investment.
Thanks for the review, good info. All of them look as if they cut better than the one I bought at Ace, which will not cut at all with 50 pounds of pressure on it. Just wonder why a mfg would make eight variation of the same tool. Just make 2-3 shapes at the most. For something different I would expect a diamond wheel or micro teeth on the edge of the wheel or even a different grind angle on the wheel.
Should I get a narrow pattern head or the wider straight cut head? Do you need one of each?
This is amazing, Here in the philippines it is hard to look for one of these, though in Manila , but here in Cebu, Philippines ive been looking for weeks, already, and your reviews just made me wanna have it already😓😭
Good luck and I hope you find one! 🤞
You are indeed a good instructor, you take a lot of the pressure out of what can be quite intimidating. I’ve noticed that when cutting you tend to pull on straight cuts with a ruler but then you switch to pushing when you cut curves. Is there a particular reason you’ve chosen this method or did it develop through trial and error? I’m just developing my cutting style and I want to learn best habits.
It's very much all about preference and what works best for you. I like to push for curves and sometimes pull for straight cuts. But you'll see others go the opposite and hold the cutters completely different from you and it's all good as long as it works for you IMHO.🤙
I like your video and products. I made Sri Yantra dream catcher for my friend birthday reference with your video. I have started to make stained glass after I made that the dream catcher. You are my teacher! Next would be some wild flowers. I want to use TC600.
Cool you did the dream catcher! The pistol grip is a great cutter 👍
What is the right angle when you cutting ?
Beginner woodworker here. Looking to start working with coloured glass for lamps and framed pieces.
Alexander Chin nice would be a great combo 👌
Hi mate. When making candle holders is there any bowls you can purchase or something for the candle to sit in or would you recommend simply soldering a circle for a tealight to sit in?? Cheers, great channel 👍🏻
I’m sure you can buy such a thing that could be soldered to your glass but I haven’t done one before. If I find out I’ll let you know 🤙
@@StainedGlassDIY Nice one, mate, thank you 👍🏻
I’m not too artistic, but I’m rehabbing old wooden sash windows... which requires replacing glass. I have some old window glass that I am repurposing, and being that it’s thicker and older than new glass I’m having a difficult time cutting it. Any suggestions regarding the best suited glass cutter? Many thanks!
Here's what I think would work best geni.us/toyothick since the cutting blade angle is wider than the ones shown here. Good luck with the project!
Very cool! Use the clear pieces as a template to make some alternating blue and red ones and you will have a patriotic banner!!
Great idea, I almost threw them out!
@@StainedGlassDIY that makes me gasp because I am in the process of buying stained glass scraps by the pound on ebay for a concrete bathroom vanity top project (new adventure, cross your fingers!). No scrap is to small to save and sell! LOL
@@roxannegodsey1261 oh I hate to throw glass away too so now I have a reason to keep them 😁
Hello there. I'm probably to late for the give away but I thought I would rop u a message anyways. I've been following u on you tube for a few weeks now and I love your work, your very inspiring to me and you attention to detail is awesome👌 I'm totallynew to this art form and it's taken me a while to get to where I am w this new adventure but I have yet to try it . I feel very passionate about making something amazing like a seahorse or a turtle but I'm also afraid that I'm going to completely mess it up and fail which is a given I know.
Thanks again for posting videos and for introducing stained glass art to me!! ❤️
welcome! and i hope you can get to try it some day 🙂
I would love to work with stained glass. 🤞🏻
I would be able to make cleaner cuts with this cutter, and finally make a spiderweb piece for my best friend. I have kept myself from doing certain projects out of fear of ruining them and precious glass especially during the pandemic because I don’t have decent access to decent and affordable glass.
I hate ruining nice glass too. Try some free glass like old picture frames and scrap mirrors if you can find some.
So I'm looking for a glass cutter that I can clamp into my vice so that I can press a wine/liquor bottles up against it to get a score line. I was going to buy a kit of some sort but I know I would want to also cut glass by hand. I want to get more out of my glass cutter purchase. Do u recommend if anyone these will work or a different one all together for what I want to do? Thanks in advance.
Hi! If you're going to clamp it I think the bigger pistol grip makes sense for the wider handle for the clamp to hold on to vs the other pen types. I don't know if that's what people do for scoring bottles but maybe they have special kits for certain cutter styles. Also a straight head is wider than the pattern head so something to think about. Let me know what you find!
How often do you have to replace the cutting wheels?
They say it's good for 6 miles of cutting which is many many years of work and even then you might not need to replace ever I believe.
Also, how do I use a pencil cutter to cut a bottle into a cup?
Never tried it but looks like fun!
Is it too late to enter in the give away? :) Just starting out. Had to figure out the hard way that I needed oil. Thank you for your videos!
I'll do some more soon!
I've heard that sewing machine oil is okay to use with glass cutters. What is your opinion on that?
Yes perfectly fine and recommended by a lot of others out there
@@StainedGlassDIY Good to know, especially if you want to save a little money but don't want to sacrifice on quality. Thanks!
Hi :) I have a question that has been bugging me, but no one seems to know the answer to this one. So, some cutters have a thin head and some are wider. All of yours when you lay them out look like the thin style. Do you know what the difference is?
Yes these are all pattern heads for cutting stained glass. The wider ones also work but are used mostly for cutting straight lines like in making windows. Hope that helps!
which cutter is best for cutting of 0.5mm thick glass?
I believe you can use any of these cutters or any standard glass cutter. 0.5mm is extremely thin so you barely have to push down on the wheel.
Hi from Ireland!! I've been following you on Instagram and TH-cam ever since lock down hit and I feel like your my teacher!I have watched every video you have made. Your videos are teaching and encouraging me to get braver each time. I really like how you explain the things because you talk also about the things than can go wrong so it's so much more helpful. Because of your videos I have been able to progress so much more and I've got the bug.
I've been using a cheap cutter it cost about 3dollars? It doesn't have a wheel or oil chamber so if I were lucky enough to win this I'd really appreciate it so much.... It would be like Christmas for me in this lockdown. I plan to make geometric bird flying over a crescent moon because...... Oh, crescent moons do break my heart and my glass supplies... Still struggling with them but haven't given up hope. I've been chopping up all my old picture frames and mirrors.
Now is a good time to say thank you for your videos and enthusiasm in a weird time. Cutting glass has really helped me get through this lockdown and I'm obsessed with that sound! All the very best, take care and thank you.

So what's your favorite pick? And who's already got a Toyo?
Tc21PVR looks like one I'd be interested in getting and working with. I have a basic ball end that I find palm pressure helps so much more with the cutting.
That's a great choice I love it.
Why is the most popular glass cutter TC-17 not included in the review?
This was mainly for art glass cutters and not thick industrial glass cuts. So all the pattern heads available.

@@StainedGlassDIY Why is there no TOYO logo on the TS-10 glass cutter?
Made in China? The Chinese don't put a logo.
what type of oil do you use?

Am I too late for the give away? Thanks for the review

Hi
Why is there no TOYO logo on the TS-10 glass cutter?

Just gonna cut some glass😂
Score some glass.
Sounds like a good idea 😂
Thank you for this video. I am a stained glass art beginner , so I really needed to know more about the glass cutters. PS. I am working on a Swan project and then a rose project. I just subscribed to your channel and followed you on Instagram...add me to the free giveaway ( the cutter, oil and pamphlet ) thanks 😊👍
