Item Name: Blow More Glass Tools - Tube Talons Mini Tube Scoring Talon Tool SKU: ABR-BMGT-854-399 Description: The Mini Tube Scoring Talon Tool is a handheld glass scoring tool bui lt to comfortably score tubing up to 25 mm. It is designed to place a consistent score line around or along a tube so you can start a controlled break exactly where you want it. In lampworking and scientific glassblowing, clean scoring is the first step for accurate cuts when you are sizing tubing for joints, trimming sections for assemblies, or preparing straight ends before fire polishing. A purpose-built tube scoring tool helps keep the wheel stable on curved surfaces, which improves repeatability and reduces wandering scores that can lead to uneven breaks. How it is used: Mark the cut location on the tube and place the tube in a stable position. Set the scoring wheel against the glass and apply steady, even pressure while rotating the tube or moving the tool to create a single continuous score. After scoring, use controlled pressure to run the break using your preferred method such as gentle bending, thermal shock, or running pliers depending on wall thickness and the precision required. Follow with edge dressing or flame polishing as needed for the next step in fabrication. Show more
