Learn More
A table router is a tabletop electric grinder used for finishing stained glass and fused glass. It grinds and shapes the edges of glass using a high-speed rotating diamond bit (router bit) while supplying water from a built-in reservoir or an external source. It is used to create straight, curved, and beveled edges on glass pieces, providing a more uniform and efficient finish than manual grinding.
Always wear safety glasses when using a table router. When pressing the glass against the bit, apply only light pressure; it is important not to use excessive force. Applying too much pressure can cause the glass to break or the bit to seize. Be sure to refill the water supply and dispose of waste water regularly to prevent the buildup of grinding debris.
