Toyo Brass Oil Fed Pencil Style Glass Cutter #Tc10b by Toyo

It would be just like this but red. This is a high quality metal bodied tool that works perfectly. Filled with generic mineral oil (Amazon Pantry 16oz), took a few minutes to prime, and it works. Meters just the right amount of oil, no leaky dripping mess like cheap cutters. I do back off the cap when using to allow the oil tank to vent, and close it when storing. I've heard people complain these leak, but mine doesn't leak a drop even laying flat in a toolbox. Just tighten the cap enough to let the o-ring seal when storing, and open it about 1/2 turn when using to allow the cap to vent (the cap's threads have a flat cut on them to allow air to pass). Note: Only tighten the cap until it just contacts the rubber, then maybe another 1/4 turn. Don't overtighten it, because there is no stop to keep you from damaging the O-ring, I suspect the people with "leakers" have damaged their O-ring by overtightening. This is a fine tool, with one very minor flaw (see below), and I highly recommend it. It works great for straight and art use, if you use it exclusively for cutting sheets, the "straight cut" head is interchangable, and could be swapped in when it's time to replace the wheel (a very long time from what the specs say, these don't wear out fast. I would also recommend that you replace the oil tank cap O-ring with a hard paper or plastic one (one could be punched out of a paper or plastic milk carton if you have a set of hollow punches or are patient with a #11 X-acto. The one MINOR Negative: The oil tank cap cap can be overtightened and as such can damage the O-ring, causing it to leak while stored. This IS a flaw in the design, there should be a mechanical stop in the threads to prevent you from crushing the O-ring. This is the only fault I can find with this tool, and I'm kind of a picky tool guy. Not worth taking a star in my estimation, but a Toyo could make a small change to the cap design and fix this issue easily. They already have a shoulder where the threads meet the knob, they just need to extend it to stop the cap from threading in so far. If they changed that one dimension on the drawing, the leak issue would be fixed (or change the seal from an O-ring to a paper hard flat washer (the red fish paper style or similar) that would tolerate the hard tightening. An expedient solution is suggested above. Great tool, this is the one, a long term keeper glass cutter. A little pricey, but: Buy once, Cry once.

I've been cutting glass for the past 25yrs. as an artist in stained glass and find the toyo brass barrel scorer(cutter) to be top notch. It's balance is good and I can adjust score pressure to personnel taste. Don't use auto oiler.Prefer to keep cutters in stonware jar w/oiled 0000 steel wool. Tungsten wheel to be excellent quality. Only replaced #10 head twice in all this time and use this for straight and curved cuts many thousands of times. Quality of cut is consistently good.

we use it a lot and its good

Glad I bought a nicer quality glass cutter. It works so much better than my old cheap glass cutter.

It is ok. I think it takes a lot of force to score and only cuts thin glass. Also I can't attest to the oil aspect. I dip it into oil on a cotton ball as per a glass artists video and that works great. Anyway it seems well made and has a nice heft to it

i bought this same glass cutter when i started the craft 20 years ago and still have it. it still works though it is finally wearing out. i expect i will have this cutter another 20 years. looks like it is made the same way with the same materials. heavy duty. excellent for stained glass projects.

Nice weight. Second one after years of use.

It was sort of messy the first time I filled it and used it, but after the initial first use it works great now without leaking oil everywhere. Nice and solid construction with great weight to it. Don't give up on it if the oil comes out a little heavy on the first fill.
