Circle & Strip Cutter

New Strip Cutter Old Strip Cutter Diamond Tech Lens (Circle) Cutter

It does what its' name implies, it cuts strips and circles for you. Both Glastar and Inland make comparable models, but inland has come out with a new model that allows you to use your own cutter, hopefully a Toyo supercutter, and not the typical plain steel six-wheeled cutter. You can also lock in a pen or pencil for drawing, or an x-acto blade for cutting paper or sandblasting resist.

The Glastar and Inland models can cut a 5" to a 24" circle. There now is a new model from DiamondTech that can cut smaller circles, from 1/2" to 5".
