Glass Breaking - Safety Break System
 The Morton Safety Break (SB01) is a system of plug-in features for the Mini or Maxi Surfaces. It is a two-part glass breaking method that allows starting the break anywhere along the score. This patented breaking idea controls how the glass is bent during the break. The Safety Break, completely redesigned, has a more powerful and easier-to-use Pressure Block. The newly designed Morton Runner improves the power and control of hand breaking. The increased control of the break helps reduce flaring. "Incredible" is one of the milder things being said about the Morton Runner. $18.42 |  The Morton M-80 is a hybrid version of the Safety Break System. Known for controlled power, it easily handles regular 1/8-inch stained glass or even 1/4-inch plate glass. Like the Safety Break System, it controls how the glass is bent and the breaking power make it a choice for the skilled glass worker. $38.19 |
 of Hampton Beach, Okla. writes to ask "In your pamphlet GETTING STARTED IN STAINED GLASS you say that because of its molecular structure, glass is technically a frozen liquid, and the process of scoring and breaking it is akin to cutting ice. My hobby is ice sculpture. Do you think that #6693 Safety Break M-80 could be used in forming intricate shapes in sheets of 1/4" thick ice? I should think that if a person worked wicked fast, she could create some spectacular results. I'm sure there must be a market (albeit a rather specialized one) for such a piece of art." |
