USAGE

Grinding

Turn on the machine and start grinding 

a piece of scrap glass to get a ‘feel’ for 

the grinding action. Begin by pushing 

the glass into the grinding bit using light 

pressure and moving the glass back and

forth across the bit. Slowly increase the 

pressure until you feel comfortable with 

the grinding speed and your control. 

You’ll quickly learn the optimum grinding 

pressure for the types of glass you 

use. When grinding out deep cuts, use 

intermittent pressure to allow coolant

to rinse ground glass from the head. If 

you ever have a white paste form on 

the bit, it is not getting enough coolant. 

Stop, turn off the machine, and check 

the sponge placement and coolant level. 

Grinding without coolant greatly reduces 

the life of your grinding heads.

As the diamond surface wears, you will 

feel it grind less effectively. When this 

happens, it is time to expose a new 

portion of the diamond surface. Loosen 

the set screw using the included Allen 

wrench and move the grinding head up 

on the shaft to expose a new 1/8" section 

of diamond. Secure the bit back in place 

making sure to tighten the set screw 

against the flat side of the motor shaft. 

Reposition the sponge if needed. You 

have up to 5, 1/8" sections of exposed 

diamond on a standard grinding bit 

to use before you need to consider 

replacing the entire head.

How to drill a hole in glass

The WizCG comes with a 1/4" grinding/

drilling bit. It is not included with the 

WizlingCG. This 1/4" grinder bit is useful 

for drilling holes and intricate grinding. 

The 1/4" bit is placed onto the motor shaft 

and sits on top of the 3/4" grinder bit. 

Loosen the set screw with the included 

Allen wrench, then slide the bit onto the 

shaft, securing the set screw to the flat 

side of the motor shaft. You need to supply 

the coolant to the 1/4" bit while drilling by 

using the other included sponge soaked in 

coolant. Begin drilling the hole by holding 

the front surface of the glass against the 

upper edge of the bit at about a 45° angle, 

while holding the coolant soaked sponge 

against the bit and glass (Fig. D). You will 

want to use two hands. Slowly move the 

glass down onto the bit in a horizontal 

position. Continue to work the glass down 

and around the top of the bit in a circular 

motion, making sure to keep the glass and 

diamond wet at all times. You may need 

to stop and soak the sponge with coolant 

several times. Reduce pressure as you

Fig. D

begin to see the bit 

come through the 

back of the glass 

to avoid chipping. 

Practice before 

you drill your final 

project.
