Re: Fletcher Glass and Board Cutter and Glas Safe on Ebay
The Fletcher Terry glass and boards cutter is a much earlier model and was produced before the Fletcher Terry 3100. It was not a bad cutter and for the price it's not bad value for money, but if it's going to be bid up much above the existing price of £100, then it's not particularly great value for money anymore. I had one of these in the early days when I first started and I soon upgraded to the Keencut system 4000.
This earlier cutter uses special blades and does not use the Stanley knife blade pattern, as used on the 3100 model.
