Which Stained Glass Kit Cutter Should I Get?

Stained glass kits are an awesome way to tap into your inner artist. But they don't work so good if you don't have a good stained glass cutter.

Here are a couple of tips for choosing the cutter that you help make accurate--and safe--work when dealing with this fascinating art form.

Stained Glass Kits Cutter Option No.1: The Pen Cutter

If you don't have a ton of cash than going with a pen-shaped cutter is the way to go. (These will usually run you about 10-20 dollars.)

The slight downside to these cutters is in their feel in your fingers. If you've got older hands, like I do, then these can be challenging. (If writing with a pen hurts, look for another cutter.)

Pros/inexpensive; portable
Cons/Can be hard to grip; not the most precise cutter.

Stained Glass Kits Cutter Option No.2: Draw Your Pistol

The next standard in cutters is the pistol-shaped version. Most folks who are hard-core artsits in this field will use a cutter of this kind. The feel is great and your cuts can be really precise.

Still with a price range in the 20-40 dollar range they can be a bit spendy for the newbie stained glass artist.

Pros/Great feel, Accurate cuts, Portable.
Cons/Slightly more expensive.

Stained Glass Kits Cutter Option No.3: Step Into the Circle

For the most superior stained glass cuts nothing will beat a circle glass cutter. These are units which you swivel mount onto your work desk and are very easy to use.

You do have to pay a bit for these cutters. (about 40-60 dollars.) And they aren't small, so they aren't easily portable for taking to kid's parties or anywhere else.

Pros/Excellent cutting; easy and simple to operate.
Cons/Not portable; spendy.
