Here's our list of the 5 hottest new and featured items from the March 2013 of Stained Glass News:
1. Creator's Premium Bottle Cutter
What can the makers of the popular Cutter's Mate and Beetle Bits Cutting Systems do with a bottle cutter? It turns out - A LOT! They have designed a premium, top-of-the-line bottle cutter that is sturdy, easy to use and gives superior results. We love the special features on the Creator's Bottle Cutter, especially the aluminum slide bar ruler which makes cutting precise sizes a cinch, and the adjustable carbide cutting wheel so getting perfect pressure for an even score is a breeze. Want to learn more? See how it works with step-by-step photos and instruction.

With the Electric Mandrel Spinner, you will free yourself from arm and shoulder strain while creating beads faster and more consistently. The trick? This ingenious tool provides continuous rotation to your mandrel, so winding glass evenly is easier, heat is dispersed throughout the bead, and you can focus on the creative details. In a nut shell - it's an arm-saving, time-saving tool that YOU WILL LOVE! Watch the free video demo to see how simple it is to use.
After recently not being available in glass art, it's now back with extra features and available in money-saving kits. We are thrilled to once again be able to offer this tool to glass artists.
