Features

THE LUMISHIELD®
The LumiShield is a LED illuminated lens-grade eye shield which can be easily attached. It provides protection from minute glass particles that become airborne and also casts an even amount of light across the work surface area. It is equipped with an energy efficient, super-brite LED light strip to best illuminate the project you are working on.

THE GUARD®
The Guard is a wear resistant splash curtain designed to keep the work surface clean and dry. Glass pieces of unlimited size and length can easily slide through the bristles which capture debris and water returning to the reservoir.

REMOVABLE WATER TRAY

Unlike other grinders, the water reservoir comes equipped with a removable tray which can be easily emptied after use. With handles on each side, the lift-out tray makes cleanup simple and safe. Eliminate carrying a heavy awkward grinder to the sink or potentially spilling its contents on floors and work surfaces. Any accumulated glass grit can be cleaned out with the included scraper and disposed of or repurposed.

EZ-FIT ELEVATED WORK SURFACE

EZ-VIEW WINDOWS & LIFT GRID
It’s important to keep a sufficient flow of water to your bit head while grinding. The reservoir water level can be continuously monitored through the EZ-View Windows. The Lift Grid easily removes the addition of water or cleaning with the smartly-designed cutouts.

UNIVERSAL COMPATIBILITY
THE GRINDER is equipped with a 5 ft. (1.5 m) durable and removable 3-prong cord which meets international standards and is 110-220 VAC compatible.

WATER WAVE STABILIZER & SUPPORT SYSTEM
The uniquely designed main grid has incorporated supports and baffles on the underside to stabilize the work surface, limiting water movement during tray transport.

ACCESSORY DRAWER
The exclusive, compartmentalized and built-in drawer is a space saving way to store spare bits, included scraper, Aqua Flow System® replacement brushes, stainless steel bit guard, and other tools!

EVERWEAR BIT GUARD
Made from durable stainless steel, the bit guard allows interchangeable usage of 3/4″ and 1″ grinding bit sizes.

EZ-GUIDE CHANNELS
The GRINDER is equipped with convenient channels located on each side of the working surface for attaching tools.

THE AQUA FLOW SYSTEM
Artists won’t realize the short comings of a conventional sponge until they’ve experienced the ingenuity of a highly engineered water system included with THE GRINDER. To replace ineffective
sponges and enhance glass grinding, an Aqua Flow System® and brush are included.

Additional Information

Instructions for Use

It is important to properly care for The Grinder using the below instructions:

1. Please always make sure the water level is at the lowest possible while still feeding water to the bit. Our engineers approximated the optimal amount of water to be just about 2-4mm above the round raised part of the basin when the unit is on a level surface. If you are unsure, please contact Perth Art Glass or view the instructional videos on the Techniglass website.
2. Dip the Aqua Flow brush in water prior to grinding. You should always install the Aqua Flow brush in water prior to grinding. You should always install the Aqua Flow System base, then the Quick-Fit Bit System, the water, then insert the Aqua Flow System Brush into the base ensuring there are no bristles caught underneath the bit.
3. When the Lumishield LED light is not inserted, do not let water enter the insertion point. Please use the white Lumisheeild cap when Lumishield is not in use (Grinder 1 ONLY). Use caution when placing and removing the water tray.
4. The highly sophisticated motor in the Grinder is specially designed to not be used with coolant or a foot pedal. Use of either may void the warranty.
5. Be sure to operate The Grinder on a sturdy and level work surface to ensure optimal water level.
