Need to drill holes, work on details, or shape small areas? The quarter inch bit is perfect for the job.

With different grit options available, you can easily grind and shape your stained glass pieces to match your project.

Key features:

Use for drilling holes and for grinding and shaping
Can be stacked on a larger 3/4" or 1" diamond grinding head
Small diameter especially suited for grinding in tight curves and detail shaping
More usable diamond makes them longer lasting; the larger diameter affords faster grinding and more grinding surface

Ripple Glass Grinder Bit

When using ripple bits, they grind down the glass at an angle to create a smooth surface, removing any texture on the edges. This allows you to easily fit your foil flat and ensure strong adhesion with the copper foil.
