 Morton System

The Morton System Makes Stained Glass Safe and Simple

The Morton System is an integrated set of tools used to simplify difficult glass cuts, which allows a beginning hobbyist or professional studio to easily make cuts in glass that are difficult or impossible to accomplish with other tools. The special cutting surface cells trap the glass chips, which will prevent your glass from getting scratched and will provide you the ability to work safely with glass anywhere without the mess. The special breaking system consists of a pressure block with a concave undersurface used with a running button that has a convex upper surface on top of an open grid surface.  This breaking system is safe to work with since glass is not broken by holding the glass in your hands.
 

Morton System Mini and Maxi Surface


The smart way to work with glass. Glass chips fall below the cutting surface leaving your surface and surrounding area clean without sweeping. The square cells of the surface can also  be used to position the plug-in-fixtures of the Portable Glass Shop and Circle Cutting Systems. Use the larger Maxi Surface with the Portable Glass Shop and the Mini Surface is the size needed for the light-box and grinder work station.

Super Mini Surface (SM03)

Two cells taller than the Mini Surface and is packaged with a 15 inch Portable Glass Shop cutting bar. The Super Mini and the 15" Glass Shop cutting bar are designed to work with the old model (PG01) and the new model (PG01B).  The new surface size and cutting bar will easily accommodate a 12 inch square of glass in the standard setup position. The new Super Mini Surface with the 15 inch cutting bar functions much like a Maxi Surface while only requiring the space of a Mini Surface. The Super Mini Surface is for any glass artist that has or wants to have a portable glass shop and needs to save space.  Measures 22½ by 15⅜ inches.

Teeny Circle System (TCS1)

Replaces the previous Teeny Turn Table and Teeny Circle Guide. The Teeny Circle System is an inexpensive method of making small circles, but is so much more.  Most inexpensive circle cutters have two critical shortcomings... they can't make smaller than 3 inch circles and they use a much lower quality cutter wheel than your regular glass cutter. With the TCS1 you can make teeny circles using your personal glass cutter.
