Product Reviews
Pros
I have been using this type of cutter for years, maybe even since it first appeared on the market. It is superior to the older pencil-held tool and easier to use, taking less coordination and hand/arm muscle. And remember, the tips are replaceable.
Cons
I found out long ago that the oiler doesn't work that well. And to fill it full and then lay on its side, it leaks. If you choose to put oil in it, just use a little bit. I have been dipping mine for years.

Pros
I love that I can import photos. The tutorial is easy to follow and very helpful since I am not a computer geek at all. Just wish I had more time to "play" with the program. It is loads of fun.
Cons
None.
Other Thoughts
Pros
This stainless steel mold is heavy enough to hold up to bracelet forming without tipping, but not so heavy as to be a problem when moving it around kiln to kiln. You can't beat the price either!
Cons
Don't have any cons
Other Thoughts
Pros
I like how neatly the caddy holds the glass and how much glass it holds. I've been able to fit 3 sheets per slot. The design works well regardless of whether you store your glass with it facing you or to the side - you can really see each piece of glass.
Cons
I had some difficulty assembling it at first, but I was eventually able to get it together.
Other Thoughts
Pros
I couldn't be more pleased with this item. So easy to use and get consistent results time after time.
Cons
The system is a bit costly, but if you can afford it, it's well worth it!
Other Thoughts
I have the entire system, and it has made my artistic life so much easier! If you can't get the entire system at one time, I'd start with this piece and the bar to go with it.
Pros
Love, love, love this product! I wish i had gotten this a long time ago. Very easy to set up, easier to use. Comes out great every time!
Cons
I haven't found any.

Other Thoughts
Pros
This bit is meant to rip through large pieces of glass. It isn't pretty when it does it and isn't meant to be a finishing bit. This bit holds up very well and grinding is really fast with it. I use it to reshape fused cabochons. Finer bits just won't do it. I highly recommend it for this purpose
Cons
none at all. It does what it's supposed to do.

Pros
I have the basic version of Glass Eye 2000 and it does a great job. I mostly copy patterns or other backgrounds and the program allows me to convert them into the cartoons needed to produce panels. I have been using Glass Eye for many years, and other than not having the features that I didn't purchase, I couldn't be more satisfied. It would be nice to have a workable auto-trace instead of having to do it by hand.
Cons
I had to purchase Glass Eye 2000 as there was no upgrade available for my ancient original version of the program.
Other Thoughts
Pros
I found this cutter to work very nicely. You do need to put something down to keep the glass from sliding around. I used a thin piece of rubbery shelf-type pad which actually came with another cutting system I had. This did the trick. Scores circles easily and smoothly but I still haven't found the best way to pop out the circles and have nice smooth edges. This would not be a problem with the cutter though - just me :)
Cons
Needs a little tweaking - see above.
Other Thoughts
Need to keep an eye on the cutter, that it stays screwed in tight and isn't loose. All in all, I am very satisfied and find it easier than any other circle cutting system I have tried.
Pros
Waited too long to buy!! Like everyone says keeps wet area to a minimum. Tall enough and water bottle is a great reserve.
Cons
Wish wings were longer. My bottle did not come with tapered tip on hose shown in picture? Would have been helpful as now I have to use a tie wrap to secure hose to grinding area!!
