Item Name: Covington Parts - Horizontal Beveler/Grinder Plate 24 SKU: COVCHGP24 Description: The Horizontal Beveler/Grinder Plate 24 is a large replacement plate designed for use with Covington horizontal beveler and grinder units. This flat lap style plate is built to mount to the machine’s drive shaft and provide a stable, true surface for cold-working operations. In lampworking and other glass arts, cold-working is used after annealing to refine edges, true up mating surfaces, and improve the finish on cut or ground glass. With the proper abrasive discs and polishing compounds, this plate supports grinding, beveling, and polishing tasks on larger glass pieces where added surface area improves control and consistency. The plate measures 27 inches by 27 inches by 5 inches and weighs 100 pounds. How it is used: Mount the plate onto the compatible horizontal beveler or grinder so it seats securely on the drive shaft Choose an abrasive disc or compound appropriate for the stage of work, starting coarse for shaping and moving finer for finishing Hold the glass firmly and bring the edge or surface into contact with the rotating plate at the angle needed for beveling or flattening Keep the glass moving steadily to maintain even material removal and avoid creating low spots Step through finer abrasives and polishing compounds until the desired edge quality or surface finish is achieved Dimensions: 27" x 27" x 5" 100 lbs
