Adding numbers to your Morton surface is
important. Pages 2 & 3 are excellent but advanced
numbering help is available at mortonglass.com.
Please Note:
A non-morton surface with panels
that are 20 cells by 20 cells is not compatibe with
PG01B instuctions. Contact us if this applies.
At mortonglass.com there are several videos that
will help you understand the PG01B. Contact us if
you need additional help.
There are 2 versions of the PG01B that differ
only by the Cutting Bar length. This unit will have a
15.375” (390mm) or a 22” (558mm) Bar. Should
you need the different length it can be purchased as
a replacement part.
Contact us for replacements.

Using your glass cutter better
The Cutter Slide is easy to use, but you
must practice. Like training wheels on a
bicycle, as you get the feel of gliding down
the cutting bar without side
pressure or tilting, you can
put the Cutter Slide back in
the box.
This diagram is showing
a way to practice without
glass. Poster board, or the
side of a cereal box, taped
to a piece of window glass
will let you practice without
wasting your valuable glass.
The Cutter Slide is sized
for glass cutters that are 5
mm wide. The Toyo pattern

head is an example of a cutter head that will
work well with your Cutter Slide & PG01B.
With your cutter head in the Cutter Slide
window, pull the cutter down the bar. The
device will tip off the bar or bind up if you are
tilting your glass cutter.
Because the window
holds the cutter to the
bar, extra side pressure
is not needed. Keep
an even down pressure
as you score from the
top edge until off the
cardboard (or glass).
Practice on both
sides of the bar until
you feel good about how
smooth and easy it is to
score down the bar.
Tilting gives

Before February 2020 PG01B
fixtures had black adjusting knobs.
Knobs are now wing nuts but most
PG01B instuctions still show black knobs.
