Description
The rubber rings on these nippers stop glass from flying all over the place.
An ergonomic hand tool for cutting stained glass and glass mosaic tile. The SeaBell Wheeled Glass Nipper is a compression nipper with numerous improvements to appeal to professional mosaic artists who are cutting glass tile and sheet:
- light weight (260 grams) and longer handles to make cutting easier
- Rubber ring “grabs” discard pieces – no need to cut into a tub! A great safety feature
- titanium coated tungsten carbide blades with position markers
- Allen key included.
- 3 position thickness lever
- cut glass & glass tiles up to 8mm thick. The circular blades do not rotate while cutting.
- Replacement blades are available here, although the blades should last for years if you don’t abuse them by attempting to cut materials other than glass, which may impact the precision of the tool itself.
NOTE: These nippers have been designed for use with Vitreous Glass, Stained Glass and Smalti up to 5/16” (approx. 8mm) thick, as stated on the packaging. They are not intended for use with china, ceramic or porcelain.
- Clean the tools periodically with a soft cloth and appropriate cleaning agent – I recommend Isopropyl alcohol to remove silicone/Polymer residue
- As with all tools, I occasionally wipe over with a soft cloth and WD40 – keeps everything moving smoothly
- keep closed when not in use (switch may be tightened with a Philips Head screwdriver if necessary)
- Use the Allen Key (on the back of the tool) to tighten/adjust the wheels and keep the fulcrum screw firmly tightened.
- tighten the 3 position tile thickness lock periodically. This can be done with a Phillips Head screwdriver
- Rotate the wheels periodically as they wear. A set of blades should last for some time
- Replace the wheels when you have completed one full rotation.
Spare wheels are available here
