Item Name:
Covington Machines - Vertical Glass Beveler - 110V
SKU:
COV5051GB
Description:
A vertical glass beveler is a specialized coldworking machine built with a heavy-duty motor, a vertical spindle orientation, and a rotating diamond or abrasive wheel positioned perpendicular to the work surface. This machine is used in lampworking and fusing studios to create beveled edges on glass pieces, particularly on flat stock, tiles, and finished work that requires decorative or functional edge treatment. The vertical orientation allows for precise control when beveling the perimeter of a piece, and the machine is especially useful for creating uniform, angled edges on larger flat glass surfaces. This is a 110v unit designed for standard shop power and is commonly used with diamond wheels for efficient edge beveling and finishing on both artistic and scientific glasswork.
How it is used:
- Secure the vertical beveler to a stable work surface with adequate space for maneuvering glass pieces
- Install the appropriate diamond wheel for the bevel angle and edge finish you want to achieve
- Set up water feed or coolant to keep the wheel wet and manage glass dust during operation
- Position the glass piece against the wheel, starting at one corner of the edge you want to bevel
- Move the glass smoothly along the wheel, maintaining consistent pressure to create an even bevel
- Work in one direction across the edge, then flip and repeat on the opposite side if needed
- Progress through finer diamond wheels if a polished bevel is desired
- Rinse the work area and wheel thoroughly after use to prevent abrasive contamination
