This is a general steel wheel glass cutter. This one is made by Fletcher Terry. The carbide cutter looks just like this one but the wheel is a little smaller. Sometimes they have a colored end to tell you what kind of head is on the cutter for different types of glass. Not all of these cutters come with a tapping ball. You should get the one that does. The notches on the end are used to break strips of glass out. They do work, but use with caution because you can shatter your glass at the same time.
