Are you pushing real hard on your cutter because it looks like it

Thank you for watching.
Sometimes if my cutter head needs replaced, it takes a little more pressure. You need to press hard enough to hear a "scritch" sound. Use steady even pressure.

I am not trying to cut through the glass, only score it. Apply only enough pressure to hear that "scritch" sound.
