Is there anything Amazon doesn't have!? Great find, Squid! Glad you're getting a new tool, Rene.

Remember, this type of tool doesn't have a way to oil the cutter so you need to coat it for every circle. I place some cutting oil on a cotton ball in an old lid. You don't need to soak the wheel, just a light coat of oil. Too much oil keeps the blade from making good contact with the glass. Palm the ball in your dominant hand and hold the glass with your other. Rotate your hand, making one complete circle stopping when you get to the beginning of your score. You need about 1/2" of glass all around the circle to enable better breaking out of it. Use Eileen's method above to break out the circle. Practice on window glass and remember just like beads, PPP!
