General Info

Success is dependent on the ability to maintain accurate and consistent control throughout the entire process. The pressure applied to the wheel, and thus the glass, must be precisely controlled. The angle and the diameter of the wheel must be tuned to the method of application, the pressure, and the type and thickness of the glass. The surface texture ( grind ) of the wheel should permit skip free operation but not be so coarse as to adversely affect edge quality or wheel life. Also, it is crucial that the wheel and cutter system track smoothly. Each component of the system must be held to very tightly controlled tolerances in order to achieve the best and most predictable and reproducible results.MacInnes Tool Corporation offers wheels in over fifty stocked configurations to meet the needs of your application. MacInnes PRO-SCORE wheels are manufactured from specially formulated micrograin tungsten carbide. A secret of the wheel's success lies in the unique finish of our cutting edge which only our own technicians and machinery have been able to produce. The combined formulation and tip finish result in a wheel that makes a clean light cut and has a very long life. Our wheels are manufactured holding each dimension to exacting tolerances; our wheel angles are precisely controlled using state of the art microscopy and video gauging systems. Finally, each and every wheel is mounted and inspected by scoring on glass to assure trouble-free application in your process.Optimizing the cutting performance for a specific process often requires some experimentation to determine the best wheel configuration.
