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.
