Glass Cutting Oil Starter: Proper lubrication is crucial for the glass cutter wheel to function correctly. This starter bottle provides enough oil to get you going.

Color Instruction Booklet: In addition to the basic instructions, a downloadable PDF guide provides more advanced cutting techniques, helpful tips, and links to informative videos.

The Amazing Glass Cutter Kit1 also includes a 5-Pack of Glass Drill Bits. These are high-quality, reusable bits designed for drilling holes in glass bottles, blocks, and even plate glass. The 1/2" diamond bit creates openings large enough for inserting string lights, while the smaller diameters are suitable for cables and craft projects. These bits can also be used on clay pots, china plates, and porcelain tiles.

The kit also provides 3 Drill Bit Guides to hold the bits in an upright position during drilling, preventing slips and jumps.

The Amazing Glass Cutter Kit2 takes it a step further by including a 1 3/8" Diamond Hole Saw. This versatile saw can be used for drilling holes in glass bottles, blocks, porcelain tiles, and granite countertops, accommodating projects like lights, lamps, bird feeders, and plumbing fixtures.

The Hole Saw Guide, similar to the Drill Bit Guides, secures the saw in the desired position, ensuring a clean, controlled cut.

Stepping up to The Amazing Glass Cutter Kit3, users receive a Drill Stand that can transform any drill with a 43mm collar into a mini drill press. This accessory holds the drill in an upright position, allowing for a steady, controlled rate of pressure and preventing sideways movement during drilling.

For stained glass cutting, the instructions emphasize the importance of properly soaking the cutting wheel in glass cutter oil and running it along a board to ensure it is spinning freely. This is crucial, as a dry wheel will stick and drag across the glass, hindering the scoring process. It's recommended to practice on scrap stained glass sheets first to master the technique.

When holding the stained glass cutter, the handles are only for squeezing the glass to break it, not for controlling the scoring. Instead, hold the cutter close to the wheel for better control and pressure on the blade.

For straight lines, place the stained glass sheet on a waist-high board, score on a soft carpet, and follow a marker line by pulling the cutter towards you, never pushing away. Use a smooth, straight-edged guide at least 2mm thick to help keep the cutter on track.

Cutting curves and wavy lines is possible by holding the cutter upright and perpendicular to the glass, following the drawn line. Avoid leaning the cutter, as this can cause the wheel to slide sideways.

When breaking the stained glass, position the breaking pliers or running pliers directly over the scored line, lift the glass sheet, and gently squeeze the handles. Adjust the pliers' positioning as needed to accommodate thin materials.
