FAQs

What type of oil should I use with this cutter?

You should use a standard glass cutting oil. Oil is not included with the cutter and must be purchased separately.

How often do I need to refill the oil reservoir?

The frequency of refilling depends on usage. Monitor the oil level visually and refill when it appears low or if you notice inconsistent scoring.

Can I use this cutter for straight lines as well as curves?

Yes, the TC1PR is versatile and can be used for both straight lines and curves. The narrow head is particularly advantageous for intricate curves found in art glass.

How do I replace the cutting head?

The cutting head (TC-N0.1) screws onto the handle. To replace it, simply unscrew the old head and screw on the new one securely.

What is the warranty period for the Toyo TC1PR?

Information regarding warranty periods is typically provided by the retailer at the time of purchase. Please check with your point of sale for specific warranty details.

Does the handle color matter for performance?

No, the color of the plastic handle does not affect the performance or cutting ability of the tool. It is purely an aesthetic variation.

Troubleshooting

Cutter is not dispensing oil

Ensure the handle cap is screwed on tightly. Check if the oil reservoir is empty and refill using the pipette. Verify the pipette was used correctly to fill the reservoir.

Inconsistent or skipping scores

Confirm the oil reservoir is adequately filled and functioning. Check the carbide wheel for any debris or damage. Ensure the cutting head is securely attached to the handle.

Difficulty making a clean break

Ensure a continuous, firm score line was made. Check that the glass thickness is within the cutter's specified range (2-10mm). For thicker glass, ensure sufficient oil is being dispensed.

Wheel appears dull or worn

The carbide wheel may need replacement. Unscrew the old TC-N0.1 head and replace it with a new one.
