Drop-ring question
Posted: Mon Feb 23, 2004 10:01 pm
Brad wrote a great article in "Glass Craftsman" about setting up drop-rings. I put my copy in a special place---and now I can't find it! My question is: on a drop-ring with a 5 inch hole I want to drop a vase-like shape. My round 6inch prefused tile is 5/8inch thick (Bullseye), how high can I set this without getting walls that are too thin? I know there is a rule of thumb for this setup.
I would like to get into cold-working my edges. I have a 1/2HP wet grinder with an 8 inch wheel. I have seen rather pricey diamond wheels, are there silicon carbide wheels available? If so what grits are the best to purchase first? And what would I use for final polishing?
Thanks in advance as always
