Hand protection is also recommended, as glass can be very sharp and if a segment of glass flies off while you’re cutting it can be very painful. Glass bonding technology has developed in recent years to become an integral, state of the art form of technology in the glass processing industry. This will keep the glass and the blade cool so the glass doesn’t deform while melting which would completely ruin your cut.

Hand-held angle grinders are most commonly seen in metal fabrication but can also be used for grinding, cutting, sharpening, sanding and polishing.If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. Lastly, always be aware of your surroundings and the spark stream to protect both yourself and bystanders. Lifting and transportingdevices that have been specially developed for the glass trade make this work easier.

Since the early 1990s, Bohle has been developing and manufacturing glass processing machinery - at first in its Torgau subsidiary and since 2009 in the Haan headquarters. We also have mortar raking tools for a fast and efficient removal, or brick removing mortar raking long reach tools for deep mortar joints, allowing bricks to be removed without damage. I’m not sure about you, but if you’re making a wine glass I wouldn’t want sharp glass shards sticking out of and cutting my mouth.

By scoring the glass surface, tensions in the glass are released and lead to the break when bending the pane in a controlled manner - either by hand or with a tool. One of the major benefits of carbide steel is that it features a service life which is several times longer than the life of conventional steel wheels. Marite granite discs are made into different shapes and abrasive disc sets such as diamond glass cutting disc and marbleite granite discs. They can be cut to create a mini garden where you can plant a few flowers, you can make hanging lights, chimes or even jewellery. Rub your finger or the sheet of paper across the edge and if you feel a prick then it’s obviously not smooth.
