Just wondered if anybody has used one and does it actually work?

There's got to be an easier way of cutting circles ;D
Hi hun
Steve has it and isnt that enthralled by it he has this one from Creative Glass https://www.creativeglassguild.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=2714 and it works a treat. Steve put a Funky Foam pad under under it to give it a bit of pushable pressure IYKWIM
Thanks Kay, I thought it was to good to be true! Right off to creative glass ;D
Ditto this, got the same one and what a great idea about the foam! Hadn'rt thought of that and lost a couple of thin ones due to industrious pushing!
Or what about diamond circle bits that you put in a drill? Probably not nearly as practical but worth a mention. (Just remembered it's called a hole saw bit)

You about any time soon?! ;)

I had to cut lots o f 1 inch circles as part of the border for a large panel I made. I used my diamond bandsaw. Still took forever though.
Hi Haze - pm'd you!
Was that a stained glass panel or a fused one Pat? I'd cut some circles and tidied them up with the grinder, but I obviously didn't clean them well enough as when I fused them I got loads a scum/devit? around the edges - not nice! I've done a bit of research and found that most people recommend sandblasting any ground edges if you're going to fuse, but I don't have that facility so though if I could make one clean cut it would help?
Any advice greatly appreciated.

Cerri, it was a large copper foiled panel, (http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/22750186/386068211.jpg)
That's me, DH and the three kids in about 1989
Wow Pat,
What a lovely everlasting memento - rough calculation over 100 circles, now that requires the patience of Job!
Thanks for the input Lorrainelee, but I've already ordered the one Kay and Rachael recommended - fingers crossed :)

I've used mine to cut just over 100 in 2mm picture glass, which is very easy to shatter so I'm well please with it.
Update!
Thanks everybody for all your advice - I can now fully agree with Kay, Steve and Rachel (notice spelling correct this time ;D), the Easy Cut Lens Cutter is BRILLIANT - so easy, everyone should have one!
