A: The TC-17 replacement cutter heads are rated to score materials between 5 mm and 12 mm thick, covering most standard window glass, mirror glass, and ceramic tile thicknesses used in home and professional projects.
Q: Why choose tungsten carbide for glass and tile cutting wheels?
A: Tungsten carbide is one of the hardest industrial materials available, offering superior edge retention and resistance to wear compared to standard steel wheels. The sintered tungsten carbide + metal alloy construction of these heads ensures clean, precise scores over many cuts before needing replacement.
Q: How many replacement heads should I order?
A: For occasional home DIY use, a 4 or 5-piece pack provides a practical backup supply. For ongoing professional or trade work — such as glazing, tiling, or stained glass crafting — the 10-piece pack offers the best value and ensures you always have a fresh head ready to go.
