Grinder Heads & Accessories
We're now carrying an assortment of replacement Grinder Heads that will fit most grinders with 1/4" shaft.
Replacement Grinder bits come in many grits. The standard grit is the most common. It's great for 'everyday' grinding. Fine (for delicate glass and coarse (speed) grits are also usually available.
Most grinder heads should last a year or so, but it depends on the amount of usage and IF they're kept cool with water! Most grinder heads are designed to fit on a 1/4" shaft, so they should fit most North American grinders!
1" grinder heads will fit most of the newer models (Check to see if there's interchangeable spacers that fit around the head on your grinder's work surface.) The larger 1" head will give you 1/3 more grinding space over the 3/4" head!
3/4" grinder heads are designed to fit almost all of the popular brands. Always check your current one for size.
The 5/8" Starlet bit ONLY fits the very old style Glastar grinder. The Starlet was one of Glastar's first grinders.
1/4" and 1/8" heads are designed to sit on top of the existing grinder head shaft. They are useful for getting into tight spaces. They'll also drill holes as their entire top surface is diamond coated! If you don't have a hole in the top of your grinder shaft (older models) you will have to purchase (one time) an adapter to hold the smaller heads.
The 1' and 3/4" grinder heads include an allen wrench. (Glastar's also include a new sponge)
We still have a couple of Glastar replacement work surfaces available. They fit both the SS2 Grinder (G12) & the Diamond Star (G14). (The G8 replacement work surface fits the Allstar Grinder.)
Glastar also made a great face shield accessory. The Eye Shield Support allows you to customize your own glass shield. When it gets scratched just replace it! It attaches to most makes of grinders with just 2 screws.
