How did it hold up so far? Are you satisfied with the performance for metal working?

Hi there, thanks for the video. I’m having a lot of trouble finding the right machine. Do you think this machine would grind flat the glass loop on the back of glass buttons. I just want to remove the glass loop to make pendants. Really appreciate your reply. Nikki

Yes, but you would need a silicon carbide sanding belt.

@@distractor_beamreviews great thanks so much, is the silicon carbide used for glass without water. I watched the belt sander quickly grind down that steel bolt. I thought steel was tougher than glass. So glass not always needs water if using the correct belt.

@@NikkiSchaeffer-em8nr Glass is harder than steel. Water acts as a lubricant and helps to keep the dust down which is important because of silicosis. Just make sure you wear a respirator and do it outside. A water compatible sander may be better for your project if you plan on using it a lot.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I want to grind off, grind flat the glass button loop from the back of 10000pcs 18mm wide glass buttons, removing 5x5mm wide glass loop. So difficult to know exactly which machine will do the quickest most efficient job…a machine spinning horizontally or vertically? I could use a horizontal diamond lapidary machine, pressure downward, a silicone carbide belt sander or carbide bench grinder. An adaptor may work to hold the button while grinding. I have been wanting to start for 2 years now but I can’t get past this hurdle. I want to get it right for the start… if you have a solid idea for me I would really appreciate it. Cheers Nikki

@@NikkiSchaeffer-em8nr 10000 is going to take a while. My first thought would be a dremel style tool with a diamond bit to cut it off. Then I'd either flatten it by hand with the same rotary tool, or with a sander like this, or with something like this: www.amazon.com/Hi-Tech-Diamond-Grinding-Polishing-Accessory/dp/B07CB19PXG
