Covington Machines - 6" Combination Unit Silicon - 220V 50 Hz

Description:
The 6 inch Combination Unit Silicon 220V 50 is a compact, bench-top grinding and sanding station built for glass and lapidary coldworking. This style of combination unit is constructed around a motor-driven arbor that runs multiple work surfaces on one machine, letting you do shaping and smoothing steps without moving to separate tools. The silicon carbide wheels are a common choice for aggressive stock removal and general shaping, making this unit useful when you need to true up edges, refine contours, or clean up cut lines on fused glass, stained glass, and coldworked components. A 6 inch format is a practical size for studios that want capability without a large footprint, and the 220V 50Hz configuration is intended for electrical systems that match that power standard.
How it is used:
- Set the unit on a stable bench and confirm your shop power matches 220V 50Hz before use.
- Use appropriate eye protection and manage dust and slurry with proper ventilation and cleanup practices.
- Shape and true edges by bringing the glass to the wheel with steady, controlled pressure.
- Keep the glass moving to avoid creating flat spots and to maintain even edge geometry.
- Progress through the available wheels and surfaces to refine the finish before final polishing steps if needed.
