Glass Tubing Cutter

Product Code : SLE/CH/207

Glass Tubing Cutter (Product Code: SLE/CH/207) is a hand tool for scoring glass tubing cleanly so that it can be snapped to length for delivery tubes, bends and connectors. It is suitable for both soda and borosilicate glass tubing and has a diamond scribing point on a spring arm set into an aluminium alloy body with a V groove. Lab technicians and teachers who prepare chemistry lab glassware in India use it in place of a file, and it is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

Typical Use

Mark the length you need, lay the tube in the V groove so it is held steady, and let the spring arm press the diamond point onto the glass. A single firm stroke or a short turn of the tube produces a fine score line. Wrap the tube in a cloth, place both thumbs behind the score and bend gently away from it; the glass should break cleanly at the line. Finish by rotating each cut end in a Bunsen flame until the sharp edge rounds off, which makes it safe to push into rubber tubing or a bung.

Always wear eye protection when scoring and snapping glass, work over a tray to catch fragments, and dispose of offcuts in a glass waste container rather than a general bin. Cut tubing prepared this way is typically used to build delivery tubes for gas collection apparatus, water traps and simple distillation setups in teaching labs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which types of glass tubing can it cut?
It is suitable for soda glass and borosilicate glass tubing.

What does the cutting?
A diamond scribing point on a spring arm scores the glass; the tube is then snapped by hand along the score line.

What is the V groove for?
The V groove in the aluminium alloy body holds the round tube steady and centred under the diamond point, giving a straighter score.

What range of tube diameters does it accept?
A diameter range is not listed for this item. Please tell us the outside diameter of your tubing through our contact page and we will confirm suitability.

How do I keep the diamond point in good condition?
Use light, even pressure, avoid dragging the point over metal or stone, and store the cutter in a drawer where the tip is not knocked.

Is a warranty provided?
Warranty terms are stated on the quotation. Ask us when you enquire, especially for institutional or export orders.
