Need to cut a couple of window panes for a job I'm doing but don't have a cutter or much experience. I don't like to buy cheap rubbish but on the other hand don't need an expensive proffesional model. Anyone know about these . Recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks . Bill

Can you not get them cut to the right size for you? Glass cutting tool is cheap but if you have not done it much you will likely mess up one

Most glaziers will cut exactly to the size you want for nothing

For a couple of panes with straight cuts a cheap one will be fine.

Cheap cutter will be fine. Have a wee tub of white spirit for dipping.
More importantly is the glass being on a very flat, even surface, you need to use a bit of pressure. It should make a sound like TTTSSSSSSSSSS.
