In Response To: Lead Free tubing cutting files (Jeff Soper)

Try the spring loaded tubing cutter,

you can also find it on ebay, very inexpensive, and very useful, a little trick to learn how much pressure and how rotate, but once your learn to use it right, is a "must have tool" for lead free...
always "anneal" on flame the glass if you are cutting on a piece of glass that is not straight.
remember lead free glass never touch the table on the spot are you planning to cut, the table temperature create stress on the glass.
