The Grinder for Stained Glass Grinding

In this video, we share the unboxing and first impressions of The Grinder. The Grinder is a powerful tool that can help anyone create beautiful stained glass pieces. It is designed to make the process of grinding glass more effortless and efficient. With the LED Light and easily changeable Quick-Fit-Bit, you can grind stained glass into the desired shape in no time. You can easily switch between grinding diamond bits for stained glass or more delicate jewelry-making projects. This makes it an invaluable tool for any stained glass enthusiast or professional.
The Grinder comes with several attachments that allow you to customize its use depending on what type of project you are working on. Thank you for watching! If you have The Grinder, please feel free to share your experience in the comments.

I bought the grinder 2 without all the bells and whistles. But the theory is the same for a newbie. Yall got this.

[@ARTyRV]

Thanks Kathy! Yes you can get the accessories a little at a time. The LED light and Quick Fit Bit are real game changers.

[@-ray-h]

Wow guys…! Now that’s what I call a Grinder for Stained Glass Y’all…! ❤ That Snap on grinder head is definitely a sweet invention…! The LED Light combined with the grinder being Low profile & Low noise, with an easy clean ability and the awesome Splash guard, just puts this model grinder over the top…!!! A Huge Thank You to Ed & Barb for sharing this newer style grinder with us…! Great detail on this new tool you've shared with us guys...! Thank You...!!!👍👍

[@ARTyRV]

Thanks Ray. It’s quite the little machine. We haven’t bought a grinder in years, so it was time!

[@jennifere17012]

Woot, woot! Welcome to the club! I love my The Grinder and couldn't wait for you guys to try it out, too. Thanks for the tips on the bit tonight in the live stream. Happy grinding, y'all 😀

[@ARTyRV]

Happy grinding!!!

[@jaminejedly3297]

WOW!! I have a Gryphette from 10 years ago. I may have to get "The Grinder". That easy on and off with the grinder head. Holy cow! Thanks for showing how it all goes together.

[@ARTyRV]

We were pretty excited about it! Thanks for watching!

[@matthewwolfe6848]

Gryphon carries a similar quick release bit called Slip-Fit Bits and work with all grinders.

[@EmilyHenvey]

Hi! Thank you so much for this unboxing video. I just bought this grinder and had the same issues you had with the water levels. Nice to know I am not the only one! Thank you for all the wonderful lessons you share on KZbin! I have learned a great deal about glass from you!

[@ARTyRV]

It’s a great grinder. A little pricey but worth it! Thanks for being a part of our stained glass community!

[@edforesman]

Wow. What an awesome looking and sounding grinder. I’m adding that grinder to my Christmas list! Thanks so much for the great demo video.

[@susanevanoff5530]

Just bought this grinder. Thank you for the demo. Really helped. So looking forward to using this. 😊

[@ARTyRV]

I hope you love it as much as we do!

[@theresevarney4715]

Thanks for the information! I already have a fairly new grinder but if and when I need a replacement, this is on my list! Big fan from Washington State 😃🌲🌲🌲Love your channel 💝

[@ARTyRV]

Glad it was helpful!

[@klt3065]

I just purchased The Grinder 2 and am new to stained glass. I love the light feature and shield but I found specs of glass on my arms when I finished my test pieces. I had the trifold vinyl water shield around it but it seemed to still produce a lot of spray.

[@ARTyRV]

We talked about this on last night’s Livestream. Try increasing the water level slightly.

[@klt3065]

@@ARTyRV Thank you, will do.

[@orangepulpgraphicdesign9298]

Does this grinder accept smaller bits that sit low so you can use the platform to grind easier, and not sit up high? Does the brush (in place of the sponge) work and hold up well? After using this grinder, what are your top three grinders, and why? Which ones accept smaller bits that sit low in the grinder like a standard bit?

[@JacquelineMcReynolds]

I just bought this 2 days ago. I added the water to the fill line but found that the glass was not wet when grinding. Just got powder off the glass. I shall add more water and try again. Thanks !

[@ARTyRV]

Thanks for sharing. That should work!

[@beatricearanda3994]

Seriously love learning , i will continue to watch, would you a have kit that’s has everything I need to start ?

[@ARTyRV]

Hi. We do have a beginner kit on our website here’s the link www.conwayglass.com/shop-supplies/stained-glass-studio-beginner-kit

[@ARTyRV]

ARTyRV GLASS STUDIO Thanks for watching.

[@susanb8354]

Can you use a foot pedal with this grinder to turn it on and off as you grind? It looks like a beautiful machine with a lot of logical improvements achieved by checking out the competition’s shortcomings that haven’t changed in years. Watch all the other grinders come out with new models. Thanks for the video.

[@ARTyRV]

Yes, absolutely. Just plug it into the grinder plug at the wall.

[@Seratjati]

Hello Ed, thankyou the video, but can you show me the link of the shop who sell that machine?

[@ARTyRV]

This is the link www.amazon.com/shop/artyrvglassstudio/list/1QL2CEYL757HR?ref_=aipsflist_aipsfartyrvglassstudio Thank you! Let us know how you like it.

[@CSimi115]

Curious to see the top piece and if there is a 1/4 inch bit.

[@ARTyRV]

That video is coming soon. Thanks for posting and watching!

[@Goodellsam]

We all know ow men want to see if they can put it together without instructions.

[@MICHELLEEVANS33]

Are grinder bits universal or brand specific?

[@ARTyRV]

Most are interchangeable but definitely check before you purchase. The manufacturer will usually list the models it works with.

[@laniwalburger2784]

Now that you have had this grinder for a few months, what about the water level? Does it keep the bit wet and cooled? I ended up using a sponge behind in place of the brush, but it didn't seem to do much.

[@ARTyRV]

We adjusted the water level and the brush works great.

[@generussell2559]

So….how much water do you put in?? Thanks!

[@ARTyRV]

You put enough water in to keep the bit wet, but does not splatter. We go a little less then the line in the reservoir

[@generussell2559]

Thanks!

[@MICHELLEEVANS33]

I don't understand grit of the bit to glass grinding? How do I know what grit to buy?

[@ARTyRV]

Grinder bits are done, medium, course. Most projects will require a medium bit. Thanks for watching!

[@MICHELLEEVANS33]

Bought one fine grit thank you!
