Three different types of glass cutters are currently available on the market, namely diamond, contour, and circular glass cutters. To help you choose the best glass cutter suited to your needs and your cutting tasks, here are some summaries of the main characteristics of these three variants of glass cutters.
Your choice of glass cutter varies depending on your needs and the tasks you wish to perform. The diamond or wheel cutter, for example, allows you to cut glass plates or panes by simply tracing a straight line. Reserved for straight cuts, this tool is equipped with a metal or wooden handle and gets its name from its diamond-studded wheel. Its use can be supplemented with suction cups, allowing the rule or square to be held in place to mark the cutting reference points. With the wheel cutter, you can easily perform a quick and regular cut on a glass pane. Moreover, if you wish to make a curved cut, opt for the contour cutter. To do this, you only need to position a template under the glass and cut the desired curved shape with the glass cutter. As for circular glass cutters, often shaped like a compass, they allow cutting glass in a circular shape by firmly fixing the suction cup and wheel on it.
