Creator's Mini Glass Cutting System — Portable workstation for precise geometric scoring with waffle grids & push-button cutter

Creator's Beetle Bits Mini Glass Cutting System is a compact, portable workstation that guides precise scores for geometric shapes and straight strips using waffle-grid support and a push-button flying beetle cutter.

This smaller version of the Beetle Bits system brings organized, repeatable glass scoring to hobbyists and studio artists who need a stable, simple platform for cutting small shapes. Everything packs into a lightweight kit designed for comfort and predictable results — from the zero-mark ruler to the omni-directional stop and two waffle grids that support thin and irregular pieces.

How does this kit make scoring straight edges and angles easier?

The system combines fixed guides and moveable rests so you can lock in a line before you ever touch the cutter to glass. The ruler positioner and 18" straight edge give you long, true references while the compass dial and rests let you set repeatable angles without guesswork.

• 14" zero-mark ruler for exact start points
• 18" straight edge for extended cuts
• Adjustable angle rests and compass dial for consistent angles
• Omni-directional glass stop to secure pieces in place

What components are included and why they matter?

The kit ships complete so you can begin scoring immediately. Each component serves a purpose: supports to stabilise glass, a carbide cutter for reliable scoring, and waffle-grid surfaces that cradle small pieces to reduce shifting while you cut.

• Push-button Flying Beetle glass cutter with CSG-10 carbide wheel
• Two waffle grids to hold small shapes and strips securely
• Oil well to lubricate the cutter for consistent performance
• Straight edge swivel rest, 90° rest, and omni stop for versatile setups

How portable and user-friendly is the Beetle Bits Mini setup?

The mini system was designed for fast setup, intuitive operation, and compact storage. Hobbyists will appreciate how the parts nest and how the push-button cutter behaves predictably, making it straightforward to learn even if you’re new to glass scoring.

• Quick to assemble with minimal tools or experience
• Ergonomic rests let you score from either side of the work surface
• Lightweight components for studio or mobile use
• All cutting parts manufactured in the USA for quality control

Who is this for?

This kit is aimed at stained-glass hobbyists, mosaic artists, educators, and small-studio makers who need a compact, dependable platform for cutting small geometric shapes and strips. It’s ideal for those who want repeatable results without a large table saw or complex jigs — especially makers who value American-made cutting components and a system that’s easy to learn and fun to use.
