Glass Grinding and Cutting Tools

JSGT 1936 V20 T717-T723

The different kinds of abrasive wheels employed in glass working are considered. Factors governing the choice of material are: the effect desired, the fineness of grinding, and the time and area of contact between tool and work. The grinding processes considered comprise facet grinding, grinding of jar and mouth edges, spectacle lens edging, crystal “cutting” and slitting.
