Optical Glass
Optical and technical glass need controlled edge quality and kerf. We build metal-bond cups and cut-off wheels — and electroplated options when thin kerf comes first.
Typical processes
Match the job to a shape and bond, then open the product page.
| Process | Shapes | Bond | Product |
|---|---|---|---|
| Edge grinding / arris | Cups · profile | Metal diamond | Open product → |
| Straight cut-off | 1A1R | Metal or electroplated | Open product → |
| Quartz / ceramics | 1A1 · cups | Metal diamond | Open product → |
| Thin-kerf blanking | 1A1R | Electroplated | Open product → |

What we supply
- Metal-bond cups and 1A1R for edge, arris, and production cut-off
- Electroplated thin-kerf when life is secondary to cut width
- Spec by material (optical glass, quartz, ceramics), wet/dry, and machine
When this is the wrong path
- Carbide flutes or saw teeth → resin bond diamond
- Hardened steel OD → vitrified CBN
- Architectural glass edge with long life as first spec → metal × glass (our Glass line)
