Diamond Stained Glass Grinder Helix Head Bit for Glass & Lapidary

The Diamond Stained Glass Grinder Helix Head Bit features a precision spiral diamond channel engineered for enhanced coolant delivery, cooler operating temperatures, and superior chip-free shaping on electric stained glass grinders.

Key Features

• Spiral Coolant Channel: Patented helix fluting actively pulls water coolant up through the grinding zone, reducing friction heat and preventing thermal glass shock.
• Smooth Chip-Free Performance: Continuous helical diamond contact eliminates stutter and micro-fracturing on fragile stained glass and fused glass edges.
• Universal Machine Compatibility: Standard 5/16" bore fits electric stained glass grinders including Inland, Glastar, Gryphon, and Kristall machines.
• Precision Brass Core: Solid brass core resists corrosion from continuous water exposure and maintains exact rotational balance.

Applications

• Stained Glass & Art Glass: Precision curved and straight edge smoothing, delicate inside curve shaping, and custom fitting for copper foil work.
• Ceramic & Tile: Chip-free edge trimming and contour smoothing on glazed porcelain and mosaic tiles.
• Lapidary & Gemstones: Delicate mineral edge truing, contouring, and deburring on soft to medium-hard cabochon materials.

Technical Specifications

• Product Type: Diamond Stained Glass Grinder Head Bit
• Bit Shape: Helix Head (Spiral Coolant Flute)

Operating Guidelines

• Ensure the water sponge is in direct contact with the helix head to take full advantage of its spiral capillary pumping action.
• Apply light, steady workpiece pressure against the rotating head to maximize diamond life and achieve the cleanest edge finish.
