The little rubber things under the tool - are they supposed to be there? They get caught in the grinder grid. Are they to be cut off?

Yes they are.You can trim them slightly with a safety razor, many people put a piece of scrap glass on top of the grinder grid-much smoother as you grind, chips stay on top of the scrap glass.. Rainbow Art Glass.

does morton twister work

I have not used the Morton Twister but have heard some good things from associates that work with wire. Brenda is right about needing something to hold the other end of the wire, a small bench vise would be another solution if help is not available to hold the other end.

What material is the grinder mate made from?

It is a very heavy plastic with a metal spring. It will last several years if you do a lot of stained glass work. Eventually the part that holds the glass will wear down from use. But I could not live without mine. It saves your fingertips!

The grinder's mate holds the piece at a height higher than the grinding wheel. Am I doing something wrong?

Just raise the grinder wheel, that should do the trick! It can be easily adjusted to work with your Grinder's Mate. Liz Renee Nartique Glass

Great thank you

A bit disappointed

You need to cut off the black posts or it won't fit flat on the grinder. More fiddly than it looks on the video clips. No instructions provided in the package. A bit pricy for what it is. In general I was a bit disappointed.

Blah

Not a game changer. It doesn't hold the glass very well so while I'm grinding the glass is turning. The most irritating thing is that it keeps getting hooked on the little holes of the grid on the grinder.
