Default Suppliers of decent quality glass cutters

Hi,
Just recently acquired a load of glass for next to nowt and thought I would try me hand out at making up some vivs. Would appreciate some advice on where I could get a decent quality glass cutter that actually scores glass, rather than the glass scores the cutter (i.e. like them Draper types which seem to have metal with a consistency of lead).

I used to make my own fish tanks and the cutter I had was from 'Dixon Hall'. Never tried it on anything thicker than 10mm but it coped with that just fine. They've got branches all over and their prices ain't too scarey

You want an oil filled cutter, it gives a much cleaner cut.
There are several decent ones on good old ebay, just avoid the cheap ones.
