Grinding and Polishing Glass with a Rociprolap

[szaki]

What's the largest part can be polished or ground this way?

is there larger machine available?

@szaki The Rociprolaps are available in pan sizes up to 36 inches, so you can put a piece up to about 32 inches into that pan and it will work well.

Does the process work better with silicon carbide or aluminum oxide?

[hisglassworksinc]

@loriglass I don't think it would make a lot of difference. The aluminum oxide will break down faster, but that shouldn't be an issue at all. We just used silicon carbide because it's what we have on hand. Either would work just fine though.

Great vid. We sure like those machines. Thanks for showing how to make the lid.  What are the dividers made out of that you have? Like your mission statement too.

@Theglassforge We make our dividers out of Lexan, It's like plexiglass that you can bend and form. Fun stuff.
