Adjusting the Cutter’s Mate
Your Cutter’s Mate is factory-set for use on a flat surface , such as a table or bench top. The arm will be
parallel to the surface when the base is placed on the bench and the cutting wheel is sitting on a piece of
glass for scoring. Since the handle can turn a full 360 degrees, the arm must be parallel to the bench top to
maintain a 90-degree angle to the glass surface when scoring.
Grid Adapters
Grid adapters have been included to make the most common adjustment when moving Cutter’s Mate
between a flat surface and a Beetle Bit Waffle Grid or Morton grid, and back again. When using grid
adapters, no actual adjustment to Cutter’s Mate is necessary.
1. Begin by setting your Cutter’s Mate on the Morton grid approximately where you will be using it.
2. Push the grid adapters into the grid so that they are slightly wider than the end blocks. The spring
should compress slightly.
3. Pick up your Cutter’s Mate, and align the end blocks over the two grid adapters. You should need to
compress the spring slightly
