New rules in mirror grinding: DON'T USE SMOKED GLASS FROM FOUNDRYS! The 8" broke in half after 2 wets. Couldn't stand the downward pressure very much. Also the 14" have collusions in it. I found out what they are used for. They are used for setting molten containers on them for cooling. The temper is not good. Good FYI for you mirror grinders. At least it didn't cost me anything... |
