18" flat lap grinder bright blue

Post by deborahbur »

I just moved and the stupid movers lost my diamond discs for my grinder. I can't remember what brand of grinder I have. It doesn't say anywhere on the grinder????
The water goes up through the center of the disc.It is bright blue and has brushes going around the top.
I would post a photo but can't figure out how.

Please let me know what brand of grinder I have so I can get more discs.

Thanks
Deborah

Looks like an ASW.

Sounds like the one I bought from Centre de Verre long time ago. Don't know if that's an ASW or not, but it's a bright blue with the brushes. (Posting a pic would help--just use a jpg or gif or png that's 250K or less, click the upload attachment tab under the text box, click the "browse button to choose the file, click the open button to upload. Then position your cursor in the right place in the text box and click the "Add the file" button. You won't see the picture, you'll just see the text link, until you click the preview button.)

Anyway, measure your discs, including the dimensions of the center hole, and call HIS Glassworks. That's where I get my replacement discs for that beast. They're better (much better) than the ones that came with the grinder, and HIS is easy to work with to figure out exactly what you need.
