The Fletcher Oval/Circle Glass Cutter will score
circles from 4-1/4 to 21-1/2 inches wide, (108mm to
546mm). In addition, it will score ovals up to 3
inches, (75mm), longer than their width. The largest
oval is 21-1/2 inches wide by 24-1/2 inches long,
(546mm by 622mm).

You should think of a circle as an oval whose width
and length are the same. An oval is defined by
"width" and "off-set" where the "off-set" is the
difference between width and length. Therefore, an
oval 5 by 8 inches (125mm by 200mm) is 5 inches
(125mm) wide with an off-set of 3 inches (75mm).
To set the width, loosen the brass nut (A) under the
pivot knob (B) and slide the cutting head (C) to read
the desired width dimension on the beam scale (D).
Read it just to the left of the head

the brass nut.
Set the off-set by loosening the knob (E) on top of
the base. Slide the off-set plate (F) so its left end
aligns with the desired off-set on the off-set scale
which is graduated in both Metric and Imperial.
Tighten the knob. Note If you are scoring a circle, the
off-set is zero. Figure 1 shows the cutter ready for a
5 by 8 inch oval, (125mm by 200mm).

a clean piece of glass which is larger than the shape
you wish to score. Allow at least 1 inch, (25mm) extra
space all around. Press down on the base and rotate
the knurled vacuum disc (G) clockwise until the
cutter adheres to the glass.
