User questions & answers

Question:	What are the actual diensions of the tools? How long are the tools? How wide are the breaking pliers
Answer:	The runners and nippers are 8" long. The breaking pliers are 6" with 3/8" jaws.
Question:	Are you in the United States
Answer:	ION TOOL is a US based business. We headquarter out of Utah, but operate globally. Products are produced in multiple countries. At this time we are not manufacturing in the US due to the extreme cost. All of our products listed here are stored in Amazon's fulfillment centers and will shipping times will be determined by Amazon.
Question:	Are these tools made in the USA
Answer:	These are currently being produced in China. We do move production from time to time so that may change. Please understand to make these tools in the USA, the retail cost would need to be around $90 for set and there is not enough consumers willing to pay that cost to make the move to USA production. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Question:	should the wheel rotate
Answer:	It should. If it’s not turning, try a little oil on the surface of the glass. Also, make sure you are pressing hard enough to hear that nails-on-the-chalkboard (some call it tissue-paper tearing) sound.

Note the Custom Grip does not use the standard Toyo Replacement Head. Use Item #5201 Replacement Head for Custom Grip Supercutter. In six distinctive fluorescent colors, the lightweight clear acrylic grip lets you see how much oil is in the reservoir. Sorry, cannot specify choice of color. Sold individually. Developed 30 years ago, Supercutters outlast other cutters by up to 25 times Toyo's Supercutters live up to their name. Comfortable to hold and easy to use, each cutter is self-oiling (when pressure is applied) for a free rolling wheel and consistent score line.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this tempered glass and can you use a heat gun to dry paper on top of it
Answer:	I'm not sure if it's tempered or not - I don't have the packaging anymore. As long as the heat isn't too high or on for to long it might be OK. Lots of people use their glass mats in this way, but personally I have not tried it. I have a 12 x 12" sheet of heavy chipboard wrapped in tin foil and that is what I use.
Question:	Is this product too fragile to work on
Answer:	It's great to work on. I work with polymer clay and cut and scrape. Love this.
Question:	Can I use this product for polymer clay? To work on not to bake
Answer:	I don't see why not. It's not a huge item, but I think its plenty big enough and sturdy enough for working with polymer clay
Question:	Are the measurements on the underside of the glass so they can't be rubbed off
Answer:	Yes. The top is completely smooth. I love this mat, I use it all the time and it still looks new.

How to Cut Strips:

1. Simply nail a standard board to your workbench.

2. Place the edge of the glass against the board.

And this scale begins with 1-2-3-4.While the other scale reads the diameter of the circle to be scored with the circle cutter base. And this scale begins with 6-8-10-12. also, this round cutting head on the end of the T-bar holds three High Quality Carbide Wheels that can cut 2-8mm thickness

Strip Cutter Base: The strip is used to cut strips from 3cm to 30cm in width, saving your hours of tedious cutting. Most importantly, all of your works will be exactly the same size.

User questions & answers

Question:	wil this cut through acrylic
Answer:	It doesn’t specifically cut “through” it scores the glass which you then carefully break. It might do the same with acrylic but not sure since acrylic flexes more than glass.
Question:	Will this work on a thin sheet of fiber glass
Answer:	No. The physics of glass cutting is fundamentally different from other materials cutting and this cutter works only based on that physics principle. Fiberglass isn't cut based on that principle and should be treated more like wood or metal when cutting. Your best bet is a saw with a higher TPH (teeth per inch) blade typically used for finer plywood or metal cuts. Just plain scissor may be an option if the material is paper thin. But this device won't cut it.

Answer:	Just an FYI, these answers were from 2015 - mine purchased in Oct 2016 did NOT come with oil. ugh. But yes, the wheel is there.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will these pilers work on 3/8 inch thick glass
Answer:	Great question, let me be honest I do not know. Generally used on thinner glass like 1/8". I think it will probably work, but it really depends on the glass and the how long the run is and the complexity. You can give it a try, you have a 30 day return window with Amazon. Sorry I could not be more help.
Question:	How wide are the jaws on the grozers
Answer:	The grozer jaw width is 10.5mm (.41").
Question:	How wide are the breaking pliers
Answer:	The jaws of the breaking pliers are 3/8" wide

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this come with oil
Answer:	If its glass used for making stained glass crafts it will
Question:	Is it supposed to come with the plastic tube in the photo
Answer:	No, any cutter you buy, you add oil Yourself.
Question:	Can glass cutters be used to cut cardboard or card stock
Answer:	This type of cutter is best on 1/8th inch or less glass, although it can go a bit thicker, but probably not as much as 1/4 inch. It depends on how skilled you are at cutting glass. There are special cutters for thicker glass. Strictly speaking, these 'score' or 'scratch' glass, which weakens the surface and allows it to break along the line. Once the glass is scored, there are numerous ways to break along the score. With a thicker glass, I'd try tapping along the line on the other side of the glass to get a break started, and then run it along the whole score. With 20+ years of experience with stained glass, I still don't have much luck getting a clean break on thicker glass. But I don't try to do it very often.
Question:	can this tool cut ceramic tiles
Answer:	I've worked in stained glass for twenty years now. What I've learned is that NONE of the pistol grip type cutters feed oil reliably, even the Toyos. What I do is put my cutting oil in a small--babyfood--jar, and dip the head in the oil frequently while cutting. Putting a small piece of the plastic abrasive cleaning pads into the jar keeps from damaging the head of the cutter. Never use an oil feed cutter.

User questions & answers

Question:	Would this blade work with my skilsaw
Answer:	It probably will. Since it is around 4 inches in diameter, you would have a maximum of 2 inches of cutting distance. What I use it in is a 4" hand held grinder( they cost about $25. and up) and use it to cut tile when I am doing projects around the home. For instance, I used it to cut tile for our new walk in shower, both in the garage, as well as in the shower area, when I had to cut little squares around the drain. We also used it in conjunction with my chop saw with a 10 inch blade that was also designed for cutting tile and glass. Because we couldn't keep it wet, it had a tendency to crack tiles, so we scored the tile with this blade and then used the chop saw to finish the job. This was much faster than using a wet saw with a fence ( like a table saw). Hope this helps.
Question:	will this cut through a glass bottle
Answer:	I used it to cut off the bottom edge of glass mirrors so that new granite counter tops would fit. It worked fairly well, but one had to be careful not to put too much pressure on the blade or the glass would get too hot and crack. I had to be patient so that I didn't attempt to go all the way through in one spot, but work back and forth till the remaining cut was thin enough that if it cracked it cracked along the cut. It might work if there would be a way to rotate the bottle slowly so that one doesn't heat up one area so much that the bottle would crack before you had scored it all the way around.
Question:	does this blade come to sharp point with raiser sharp edge or is it a bit blunt like a tile saw blade
Answer:	just like the way you said at the end. to use efficiently-- tape the glass side of tile, blade rotate at high speed and then push tile slowly and gently to the blade wet.
