A Glass Jewelry Bit Will Cut Wire
Wrap Grooves In Fusing Glass
A glass jewelry bit is designed fit a table top glass grinder and will grind a groove around a piece of fused glass or fused glass jewelry. The groove is deep enough to enable the glass to be wire wrapped. These bits are interchangeable with other glass grinding bits used on table top grinders.
As per the photo, the glass jewelry bit is composed of a central post with a small diamond coated disc attached to the bottom of the disc.The bit is fitted to the glass grinder and is adjusted to the height of the piece to be ground. Subject to the thickness and shape of the fusing glass the groove should be ground near the center of the glass.
Once the grinder is started the glass is rotated around the grinding disc. If possible the glass should be kept in motion whilst the groove is being ground. It is very easy to cut deeply into the corners if the glass is not kept moving. A deep groove in this area can weaken the corner glass.
These grinding bits are easy to use and will produce very smooth grooves for wire wrapping and will help you make excellent fused art glass jewelry.
