Abstract
A pillar post assembly for holding the cutting wheel of a glass cutting machine in which the glass cutting wheel is carried by a holder in a post swivel. The post swivel is mounted within a hollow housing for use in a glass cutting machine. The post swivel and cutting wheel holder are permitted limited vertical movement and rotation within the housing so that the cutting wheel adjusts itself to the most favorable position as it begins its first travel across the glass. Friction means within the pillar post assembly, keeps the cutting wheel in the said most favorable position for successive cuts.
