The ratio between the arc of the wheel and the pressure applied with the tool has an important bearing on the degree of penetration. Average hand pressure with this size wheel often gives good results. For a duller wheel on soft glass a larger wheel (e.g., 6mm ( 1⁄ 4in) will require no change in hand pressure. A smaller wheel (3mm ( 1⁄ 8in)) is appropriate for cutting patterns and curves since a smaller wheel can follow curved lines without dragging.
