The one pictured costs about $20.00.

They make a deluxe one with an oil reservoir for about $65.00.  But for occasional use it is not a good value.

They sell replacement carbide wheels so it is a long lasting tool.  

A ketchup squirt bottle filled with kerosene makes lubricating the line easy.  Just lay a narrow puddle of kerosene over the proposed cut line, then score.  The carbide will last longer.  

I always cut dry because as a picture framer, the kerosene represented a contaminant that would have to be cleaned off.

Yesterday I had 3 pieces that the cuts failed. The only thing I can think of is the glass was cold- maybe 30 degrees. I went to the local Ace ang picked up more glass, and it cut fine.

Any experience with cold glass not cutting?
