## Questions & Answers

**Q: I'm sorry to sound silly, but exactly where does the sponge go?? I've never used a machine like this, and the included instructions are terrible!**
A: It goes behind the bit, and extending down into the water reservoir below.  It wicks up the water from the water reservoir and carries it against the bit as you grind, so it needs to touch both of them.  The glass sludge builds up against the sponge as you work, so you will need to periodically remove the sponge, rinse it out, and then re-insert it.

**Q: So i take it the grinder comes with one bit, correct?**
A: It comes with one medium grit bit.  Easy to change and the other bits are readily available.

**Q: Would this work sanding the edges of reclaimed wine bottle edges after cutting?**
A: I bought this as a gift for my daughter who does stained glass. Here's what she said about using it to smooth the edges of cut glass bottles... "I wouldn't see why not. I've not tried it but would experiment with varying bit grits to find one strong enough to smooth but gentle enough not to chip the glass.'Hope that helps.

**Q: Is the Shield beyond the grinder wheel removable?**
A: Yes. there are 2 positions beyond the grinder wheel  available for this shield . Or you can remove it completely if you need to grind large pieces of glass.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice size, weight, reliable, does a good job.
*by C***. on June 6, 2016*

Yeah, I'm in love with this. Lets me get nice, tight fittings between my glass pieces on my mosaics. It works well. There is splatter; the guards do a pretty good job of catching it but not all. The tray underneath holds quite a bit of water so you can work for several hours of project time and not have to be constantly putting in water. Comes with sponges, and they're fit to shape but I have yet to master getting the sponge cut down/fit to just the right position. It keeps wanting to fold over in the direction of the rotation. But I will figure it out (cut a little off to make it shorter?). My unit has a bit of an odd deal where the on/off rocker switch doesn't always switch on the first time I push it, but it does turn on. Doesn't seem like the switch will fail, just ... I don't know. Can be a bit of a nuisance when you have everything in position and you want it to start. There is a waterproof shield over the switch and I wonder if it's getting hung up on that somehow. The grinder bit it comes with is a good multi-purpose bit for general use and it is easy to adjust and easy to replace. Sure wish the replacement bits were cheaper, but I start it off with the bit just up high enough to catch the edge of a typical piece of glass (3 mm) and then when that area is too worn to work effectively I adjust the bit up by another 3 mm and that way I get 4 or 5 "fresh" bits out of one. I product a piece every month or so, so this gets probably about 1 hour of use a month (of actual grinding time) and I am just now having to move the bit up for the first time after I would say between 2-3 hours of grinding time. So, this bit should last me almost a year unless I get really ambitious. The grinder is a nice size, nice weight, doesn't scoot around on the counter when I'm using it; easy to clean and store away. At this point I can't believe I ever lived without it. I posted an image to show how I can now get such a nice fit between my pieces of glass so that I can minimize grout lines for a cleaner look.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great grinder
*by D***S on November 11, 2024*

I bought a no-name brand first and got nervous so I returned it and bought this one. The store I’ve taken stained glass classes at sells it too so I knew it would be good. It works very well, not too loud and maybe it’s the way I have the sponges set up but it does make a lot of water spray. No big deal and certainly not an issue. Cleaning is standard, everything comes together and apart quickly. I’ve swapped out the grinder bit for different sizes and that worked good as well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Small but mighty
*by T***. on April 14, 2025*

This thing is a work horse. It's small in size so it doesn't take up a lot of space. I grind plates and dishes of all thicknesses and materials. I turned the sponge at an angle behind the grinding but like I read in other reviews which helps keep it wet. Changing the bit is simple and I think it's pretty universal so the one they sell at Hobby lobby may work to replace. It definitely has a noise when running but not bad imo. I was listening to the hold music on my phone the other night while I grinded pieces & I could easily hear the music. Quite happy with this purchase and shipping was fairly quick.
