Oil Glass Cutters & Replacement Heads

Professional glass cutting requires precision, consistency, and the right tool for the job. At NFK, our range of Oil Glass Cutters & Replacement Heads is designed for professional glaziers, glass processors, and tradespeople who require clean scoring and reliable performance across a range of glass thicknesses.

Oil glass cutters feature a built-in oil reservoir that lubricates the cutting wheel during scoring, reducing friction and heat while improving score quality and wheel lifespan. This lubrication helps produce smoother score lines and more consistent breaks compared with dry cutters.

Our range includes multiple handle styles, wheel materials, and cutting angles to suit different applications and glass thicknesses.

Types of Oil Glass Cutters We Offer:

Oil Glass Cutters with Brass Handle

Brass handle oil glass cutters are a traditional choice among professional glaziers. The solid brass construction provides excellent durability, balanced weight, and consistent cutting pressure for accurate scoring.

Benefits

• Durable heavy-duty construction
• Excellent balance and control
• Ideal for professional glazing work

Best for

• Regular glass cutting in workshops or on-site
• Medium to thick float glass panels

Oil Glass Cutters with Plastic Handle

Plastic-handle oil cutters offer a lightweight and ergonomic alternative to brass models. These cutters are comfortable to use during long cutting sessions and provide excellent control when scoring straight lines or curves.

Benefits

• Lightweight and easy to handle, reducing hand fatigue during extended use
• Cost-effective option, making them a more affordable choice for everyday glazing work
• Transparent handle design, allowing you to easily monitor the oil level and refill when needed.

Pistol Grip Oil Glass Cutters

Pistol-grip oil glass cutters feature an ergonomic handle that allows users to apply even downward pressure. This reduces hand fatigue and improves control, especially when cutting thicker glass sheets.

Best for

• Frequent glass cutting
• Cutting thicker glass panels
• Improved comfort during long cutting jobs

Cutting Wheel Materials

Tungsten Carbide Wheel

Most of the glass cutters in our range are with tungsten carbide wheels, the preferred choice for professional glaziers. Carbide wheels are extremely hard and maintain their sharp edge longer, producing consistent score lines and cleaner breaks.

Advantages

• Longer service life
• Consistent scoring performance
• Ideal for regular professional use

Steel Wheel

Steel cutting wheels are a cost-effective option and perform well for occasional glass-cutting tasks. When properly lubricated with oil, steel wheels provide reliable scoring and consistent performance for general glazing work.

We offer two steel wheel models:

1. Glass Cutter Diamantor® with Wooden Handle – suitable for cutting float glass, coloured glass, and ornamental glass, offering precise control and traditional handling.
2. Glass Cutter with Metal Handle and Ball End – suitable for general-purpose glass cutting applications, with the ball end designed to assist with tapping the glass to help run the score line.

Replacement Glass Cutter Heads

To maintain optimal cutting performance, worn cutting wheels can be replaced with replacement glass cutter heads rather than replacing the entire tool.

Replacement heads are available in multiple wheel angles and materials, allowing you to match the cutter precisely to the glass thickness and type you are working with.

In addition to standard oil glass cutters, NFK also supplies specialised glass-cutting tools and machine components for both manual glazing work and automated glass processing environments.

Circle Cutters

For applications that require precise circular cuts in glass, we offer a range of circle cutters and spare parts. Unlike standard hand cutters designed for straight lines, circle cutters use an adjustable radius arm and a central pivot point that allows the cutting wheel to rotate around a fixed centre, producing accurate circular score lines.

Speed Cutters

Speed cutters are designed for fast, efficient straight-line cutting, particularly when working with large sheets of glass or when making repetitive cuts in workshop environments. These cutters typically feature high-quality carbide cutting wheels and guided cutting heads, enabling smooth scoring across the glass surface while maintaining consistent pressure. Speed cutters are ideal for production settings where accuracy and efficiency are essential.

For professional glass processing machinery and heavy-duty glazing operations, we also supply cutting wheels, wheel holders, and axles suitable for automated glass cutting machines.

Our range includes individual cutting wheels for replacing worn scoring wheels, metal wheel holders, and complete plastic modules that integrate the wheel, holder, and axle in a single unit for quick replacement.
