I have been doing some research because I have fybromialga and arthritis and at some point will have trouble working with glass too. I have read some on the “Cutters Mate”— the manufacturer claims that you can sit while cutting and don't need to put extended pressure on the cutter arm. It is rather expensive but I have finally gotten to where I want to be in my work and I won't let an illness slow me down. Maybe SGN can get more information on this product and we may all be able to benefit. I have had some older people who used to do stained glass come into my studio and because of arthritis not be able to do the work. Maybe this is a good alternative. It provides the arm and the cutter joined together and states you can work on a flat surface while sitting. I hope it is true for all our sakes.
