chipping while grinding

Aug 26, 2003 2 Replies

I have an Inland twin spin disk grinder. When I grind the edges of the glass, it leaves the glass with small chips along the edges. How can I prevent the chipping and get a perfect edge?


New bit? New, coarse bits will do that. Also, lighten the pressure against the diamond bit. Don't force the cut, and make sure your tool and the glass are well cooled. Also, some glass just "will" chip, no matter what.

Use a finer porosity wheel. Coarse wheels are for taking out a lot of material quickly. Finer wheels are for your finish edges.
