SKU:

Description:
The Original Glass Lathe 110V is a bench-mounted rotary tool designed for coldworking glass after it has been shaped by lampworking, fusing, or other hot techniques. The lathe features a variable-speed motor powered by standard household 110V electricity, allowing you to grind, shape, and polish glass pieces with precision. This equipment is constructed with a sturdy base and spindle system that holds glass securely while rotating, making it ideal for finishing edges, creating bevels, grinding flat surfaces, and polishing beads or other small to medium-sized glass components. The lathe is commonly used by glassblowers and glass artists who need to refine their work after the initial hot-forming process is complete.
How it is used:
- Grinding and shaping edges on lampworked beads and glass components
- Creating beveled edges and flat surfaces on fused glass pieces
- Polishing glass to a smooth, finished surface
- Refining the shape of sculptural glass elements
- Coldworking applications where precision and consistency are required
