Teachers and technicians use it to cut glass tubing to length when making delivery tubes, gas-collection setups and connectors that pass through rubber stoppers. It is a useful piece of chemistry lab equipment for schools in India and elsewhere that assemble their own apparatus from stock tubing instead of buying every tube pre-cut.
Mark the length, let the spring hold the cutter open, insert the tube and close the cutter so the wheel rests on the glass. Rotate the tube once for a single light score — repeated heavy scoring tends to chip the glass. Then wrap the tube in cloth, snap it at the mark and fire-polish both ends in a burner flame so no sharp edges remain.
This cutter is sourced and supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the company behind the ScienceLab name in Ambala, Haryana. Laboratories can order it in the same enquiry as their glass tubing, stoppers and other bench apparatus, whether they are schools, colleges, training workshops, dealers or importers. Company details are on our company profile.

What size of glass tubing can the Equipment for Cutting Glass Pipes cut?
The Equipment for Cutting Glass Pipes cuts glass tubing up to 1-1/2 inch (38 mm) in diameter. If you mainly work with very fine tubing, tell us the size through our contact page so we can confirm it suits your work.
How does the Equipment for Cutting Glass Pipes work?
Insert the tubing into the Equipment for Cutting Glass Pipes and rotate the tube so the cutting wheel, about 6 mm in diameter, scores a precise mark around it. The spring keeps the cutter open until you close it on the glass, which makes positioning easier.
Does the cutter go right through the glass?
No. The Equipment for Cutting Glass Pipes scores the surface, and you then snap the tube at the mark. Wrap the tubing in cloth, place both thumbs behind the score and push gently apart, then fire-polish the cut ends in a burner flame.
What is the Equipment for Cutting Glass Pipes made of?
The body of the Equipment for Cutting Glass Pipes is a nickel-plated zinc-alloy die-casting. Wipe off glass dust after each session and keep the tool dry so the small cutting wheel continues to turn freely and score cleanly.
What safety precautions apply when cutting glass tubing?
Wear safety eyewear and protective gloves when scoring and snapping tubing with the Equipment for Cutting Glass Pipes. Wrapping the tube in cloth before snapping and fire-polishing the ends afterwards reduces the risk of cuts from sharp edges and glass splinters.
Who supplies the Equipment for Cutting Glass Pipes?
The Equipment for Cutting Glass Pipes is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, to schools, colleges, workshops, dealers and importers in India and international markets. It can be quoted together with glass tubing in one enquiry.
