ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a clean and inexpensive apparatus and method of rapidly grinding an edge of a sheet of glass. The method involves: locating a sheet of glass on a support surface, lifting a sheet by a rotatable support which is movable through two axes, lifting the sheet by a rotatable support, moving the sheet along the first axis to a predetermined height, moving the sheet along the second axis until the sheet makes contact with the grinding wheel, translating the sheet to maintain contact with the grinding wheel while the glass is rotated, and replacing the glass on a support surface after the entire periphery of the glass is ground. Also disclosed is an apparatus for performing this method.
