The Glass cutting wheel is not sharp, in fact it is probably the dullest tool you will own but the hardest, the hardness of the cutter blade along with the special angle ground into the scoring wheel allows The Amazing Glass Cutter to cut thick and thin glass materials and even Hard Tile without hurting the wheel.
The Secret to using The Amazing Glass Cutter is to follow the instructions carefully. Practice on a spare piece to work out the correct pressure, usually not enough pressure is applied to start but it can cut be better with less pressure also sometimes especially on glass. Cutting on the floor instead of on a solid board at waist height will give uneven pressure being applied along the score line and may even crack the glass.
Not oiling the scoring wheel and making sure it is turning very freely first can cause the wheel to bind, drag and even lock up and just scratch the glass instead of evenly scoring it and this will prevent the glass cutter from working correctly. Holding the Glass Cutter by the plastic grips when scoring with your strongest hand means that you are only applying minimal amount of pressure if any on the cutting wheel at the point where the scoring is happening. Always Pull towards you not Away.
For Stained Glass, Plate Glass, Picture Framing Glass or Fused Glass the cutting wheel should be oiled every single score, oil will run down onto the glass and will not only cool down the glass and give a cleaner cut it will also extend the life of the cutting wheel. If you can wipe the oil off the glass and there is no score line visible, then you need to increase the pressure make sure you are holding close to the wheel and use the 2 handed method if needed especially if you do not have a lot of strength in your hands or are cutting a very hard material
