Precision Engineered Grinding Tools for Flat and Solar Glass Processing

Peripheral wheels with SUPER-CUT diamond/bond specifications are designed to deliver. Embedded in a sintered metal matrix, our wheels are offered with segmented or continuous diamond sections. These long-lasting wheels are best suited for rough grinding with coarser diamonds for higher material removal.

• Available in a variety of shapes in single or multiple wheel process, reducing grinding time and increasing productivity:
  • flat edge
  • flat and arris
  • pencil edge
  • waterfall
  • trapezoidal
  • cylindrical
  • ogee
  • bullnose
  • and many more
• Offered with segmented or continuous diamond sections for CNC and non-CNC machines
• Available for all glass thicknesses and machine settings
• Very fine mesh diamond is used for arris grinding wheels

The SUPER-CUT Advantage: Wear resistance results in higher material removal rate, high grinding efficiency and longer service life. Superior non-load bond systems draw fewer amps and require less stoning.

Resin bonded wheels are best suited for edge and arris finish grinding. They are ideal for final stage grinding before a high lustrous polish.

Engineered for long life, they are able to run at high speeds to produce high quality luster and require low spindle amperage.
Available by position and machine.  Please specify when ordering.

The SUPER-CUT Advantage: The continuous self-sharpening property of high-quality diamonds produces smooth, chip-free edges and corners. Improve the yields off your beveller with SUPER-CUT Resin Bond wheels.

Peripheral wheels, with diamond section mounted at the periphery, are designed to meet flat or shape grinding.

• Available in a variety of shapes in single or multiple wheel process, reducing grinding time and increasing productivity:

A SUPER-CUT edge will offer you the smoothest surface from the grind that you can find. When polishing the edge in flat glass applications, the easiest way to improve the polish is to make sure you have a perfect grind. Best practice is to use a Position One – coarse grind, followed by a Position Two – fine grinding wheel. This will make it very easy to polish – Position Three.

In consumer product applications, the appearance of the visible ground edge is critical. This often requires a special profile with multiple radius, blended to a complex shape. SUPER-CUT EDM profiles will give you the exact shape you design. Learn more about our Wheel and Drill Reprofiling services.

SUPER-CUT diamond and metal bonds have the best wear rates in the industry. Our bonds hold the profile shape, improving tempering yields. Increase the number of redress in each wheel and lower your cost significantly.

Let SUPER-CUT custom design the glass profile for a superior ground edge, quick startup and high oven yields.

SUPER-CUT manufactures pencil edging wheels for all straight line machines, double edgers, CAM or CNC grinders.  We can design a custom OD exactly for your equipment and grinding needs with wheel OD as small as 25 mm and no restrictions on the OD of the grinding wheel.

SUPER-CUT offers a variety of drills that are custom engineered to your application and ready within two to four weeks.

Core Drills

Our one-piece straight core drills offer fast performance and amazing life, in sizes from 4 mm to 180 mm OD. In sizes under 25 mm, SUPER-CUT straight core drills have been known to drill more than 40,000 holes. SUPER-CUT can fit any drilling machine on the market today. Shank design will be selected to fit your equipment.

SUPER-CUT diamond core drills and seamers have been developed for use on high-performance CNC glass drilling machines with long series batch production. A complete range of SUPER-CUT designs and specifications are available to fit each machine:

Chamfer Drills: One-piece Design

SUPER-CUT’s one-piece chamfer drills are designed to drill and chamfer holes in a single cycle. The fixed core lengths are set for each glass thickness to provide optimum drill speed and hole quality. The one-piece core drill seamer is the most commonly used drill in glass today due to its ease of use and excellent hole quality, resulting in high glass yields in the tempering process. Consult a SUPER-CUT sales engineer for a size and specification recommendation.

Chamfer Drills: Two-piece Design

SUPER-CUT’s two-piece drill design allows you to match a core drill of your choice to the seamer, so the same OD drill can be used for multiple glass thicknesses. The seamer is precision designed for a tight fit to maintain hole quality. While the two-piece drill bit combo offers greater flexibility, it requires more in-house control by plant personnel during setup.

Shanks are available for any glass drilling machine: Bystronic, Bando, TAC, Forvet, Bentler, Schiatti, ADA, Glassline, SunTool, Intermac and more. For special or custom machines, SUPER-CUT can design a shank for your specific application.

Need to finish a cut-out or shaped opening?  SUPER-CUT has the seamer, pencil edge or router to give your finished product the exact look required for today’s stove top designs.

TIPS:

Are you cutting this shape with a water-jet?  As a major abrasives company, SUPER-CUT can offer you the garnet abrasive required to cut glass or ceramics.

Are you interested in improving oven yields? Try a SUPER-CUT chamfer drill bit instead of a straight core drill bit. We have live case studies of improving oven yields up to 12%!

SUPER-CUT dressing sticks are used on diamond tools to sharpen or re-expose diamonds and optimize glass edge quality and tool feed speed. Proper wheel and drill dressing will reduce chipping and eliminate breakage and burns during glass fabrication. 

A relatively softer abrasive is used to provide greater diamond exposure.

The SUPER-CUT Advantage: Highly friable grains allow quick and consistent re-sharpening, lower diamond wear, and longer tool life.

TIP: SUPER-CUT carries longer, 230 mm dressing sticks made especially for hand-dressing your diamond grinding wheel.

SUPER-CUT offers a variety of leading coolant products with chemistries specially designed to complement our diamond wheels and drills. We offer everything you need to keep your glass process running smoothly — from complete cooling system management to coolants and lubricant additives.

Our product line includes:

Cutting/Scoring Oils

Cutting oil is used to score glass for breakout. The oil fills the score and prevents the glass from re-healing, allowing a clean, defect-free separation of the glass part from the cullet trim.

Some of the primary benefits of our cutting oil are:

• Clean breakout of scored glass to prevent edge chips
• Increased cutting machine uptime
• Lower tooling cost
• Reduced changeover time and machine adjustment

Careful use of cutting oil is required to ensure compatibility with take-away belts and seals in the cutting equipment. Using the wrong oil will create a fire hazard in your plant. Since the oil is washed into the coolant system, take care that the cutting oil does not become a contaminant in your grinding coolant or glass washer.

Four types of scoring oils are available:

• Hybrid (the most common oil used)
• Vanishing
• Soluble (the most common source of contamination in your washer or coolant recovery system)
• Straight

Ask your SUPER-CUT sales engineer to help you select the perfect cutting oil to meet your glass cutting needs.

Grinding Coolants

Years of R&D development have generated significant new synthetic coolant products for glass operations. Coolant is designed as a one-part system used primarily in centrifuge systems, or a two-part system with a secondary flocculant additive for settling systems.

SUPER-CUT supplies a full range of high-quality coolants for glass grinding that:

• Improve wheel and drill life by 40%
• Increase line speed
• Enhance edge quality
• Reduce energy consumption
• Increase oven yields and eliminate glass loss due to burns or microfracture chips
• Control foam
• Prevent coolant guard and line plugging, with additives to prevent glass fines from clumping or hardening
• Inhibit biological growth
• Protect equipment from rust
• Eliminate water spots on the glass

We also offer a full line of additives, including flocculants, coagulants, defoamers, rust inhibitors and bactericides.

Your SUPER-CUT sales engineer can evaluate your glass grinding process and recommend the best coolant for your operation.
