'''Circle Cutter''' is a hand tool with a bar the scoring head can slide on which is held in place with a set screw. The bar is connected to a central hub that has a suction device or anti-skid surface so it can spin around but this limits the minimum size to around {{Convert|fromUnit=inch|toUnit=mm|value=0.5}}. Circle cutters should not be confused with a [[Lens Cutter]] which does the same thing but in a different way.

Circle cutters that use suction based hubs don't work well on irregular surface glass.
