The Silver Bullet Hourglass Grinding Bit is engineered for precision lamp construction, featuring a dual-angle design (9° and 18°) to grind glass panels for angled fittings in stained glass lamps. Chrome-hardened for durability, this bit ensures smooth, mitered edges critical for consistent foiling and soldering, as demonstrated in pioneering designs by Delphi Glass Expert Keturah Esch.
Key Features:
-
Dual-Angle Geometry: 9° and 18° edges for panel lamp fabrication.
-
Chrome-Hardened Construction: Enhanced wear resistance for longevity in high-use workflows.
-
Compatibility: Fits Diamond Tech Max, Inland, and most Glastar grinders (excludes G-5/G-8).
Technical Advantages:
-
Precision Edges: Minimizes post-grinding adjustments for foiling and soldering.
-
Debris Management: Hourglass shape optimizes coolant flow and swarf removal during wet grinding.
-
Versatility: Suitable for architectural glass and artisan lamp projects.
Applications:
-
Tiffany-Style Lamps: Achieve seamless panel alignment for classic designs.
-
Custom Lighting: Precision grinding for geometric lamp patterns.
-
Restoration Work: Reshape vintage lamp panels without compromising structural integrity.
