Item Name:
Frit Crusher

Description:
The Frit Crusher is a heavy-duty crushing tool used to break down glass into smaller, more usable particle sizes for lampworking and kilnforming. It is built as a rugged, hand-operated crusher designed to take larger chunks of glass and reduce them into coarse frit that can be sorted further with screens or used as-is for bold texture and color application.
This tool is most useful when you want to recycle compatible scrap, make custom frit blends from rod or cullet, or create coarse frit for encasing, surface roll-ins, and fuming-friendly texture where fine frit would melt in too smoothly.
How it is used:
- Start with clean, compatible glass scrap or larger frit chunks
- Place the glass into the crushing chamber area
- Apply steady pressure to crush the glass into smaller pieces
- Sift the crushed material through frit screens if you want consistent sizing
- Store finished frit by color and size to keep blends repeatable and contamination-free
