Satined Glass Grinder Recommendations?

May 27, 2007 3 Replies

Hi All, I'm brand new to stained glass. I'd like to get a decent grinder without spending much money. I've seen lots of ads for various brands under $100, but not a lot of objective reviews.



At the risk of starting a religous argument, can folks give me some pointers and recomendations?



Thanks, Max


The two "names" are Glastar and Inland. Each have their strengths and weaknesses. Probably you would be well advised to avoid "Diamond Max" or "Running Rabbit" brands. I own both Glastar and Inland. Two of my Inlands are going on 20 years old (or more) and are still going strong. I don't think there's a nickles worth of difference in either brand.

Moonie...I got a Wizard I bought in the late 70's....works like new! You should get another 10 out of yours then.... JB

My Wizard is almost 25 years old. Go to your local SG store, and ask for a demo. Inlands are generally cheaper than Glastar.
