How To Fill Your Oil Glass Cutting Tool
Filling the reservoir of your glass cutting tool is an easy process.
- Unscrew the brass cap on the end of your glass cutting tool
- Remove the cap
- Fill the reservoir with cutting oil to at least 3/4 of it's
total capacity.
- Replace the brass cap and adjust for oil flow.
If you jam the cap tight, very little or no cutting oil will flow to
the cutting wheel.
If you loosen the cap too far, too much oil will
flow to the cutting head and cause a messy puddle.
The oil flow is adjusted properly when you can see just a fine line of
oil as you score your glass.
The oil does not aid in scoring the glass, it is intended to lubricate
the cutting wheel.
Because all manufacturers makes their products to different
specifications, each brand of glass cutter will adjust differently.
Play around with tightening the filler hole cap until you get the
proper amount of oil flowing to the cutting wheel and remember to
tighten the filler cap completely when you're finished cutting to
prevent oil spills in your work area.
That's all there is to it.
