Mr. Gomm, I am a beginner and am grateful for these videos. Thank you. I have one question that is making me crazy. When you make a score with your cutter there is a scratchy sound. Evidence that you are making a cut. I NEVER hear that when I'm scoring. It's so quiet I wonder if I'm even making a score line. I had thought perhaps it was because I'm using oil and you're not but this video disproves that theory. Am I not pressing hard enough? Not holding the cutter at the proper angle? Does it even matter? I struggle mightily with the cutting and breaking of my glass. I know it takes a lot of practice but it is very frustrating.
It could be that the oil you're using might be working so well that you can't hear the sound. I once had some glass that I was cutting and I comented to Jeanne who was in the next room, isn't that funny that when I score that glas, it doesn;t nake a sound. She said, what are you talkinb about I can hear it and I'm in the next room! Turjns out my hearin was damaged and I couldn't hear that frequency. If you'd like to try the oil that we use, go to our TH-cam video th-cam.com/video/wNA5XGqDbpo/w-d-xo.html
@@GommStainedGlass LOL! That may be the answer for me as well sir. I never thought of that. I'm 71 and have hearing issues as well. Thank you for your response.
You answered your own question... Practice makes perfect... The softest whisper is what you're looking for... Eventually your fingertips will do the hearing for you...
Also, I think the cutting wheel axel needs-gets oil. A friend of mine, who once worked at a glass company, told me that he’d seen many cutters fail due to not using oil, due to the friction on the axel.

Wow thank you!!!! I learned a lot! I was told that i didn't need to oil, but now i understand why some don't and why I should. 😁
You can skip oiling when it causes a problem, but you get better results if you use oil.

Thanks, this is knowledge that I've had for many years but just neglected to pass it on.

That's true, oil helps to lubricate the wheel as well as the cut.
