Technical Info

The invention of glass is arguably one of the most important and useful discoveries in our history. Glass provides us with aesthetics and the ability to see beyond closed and limited space. Glass is used in every corner of the world for immeasurable applications. Life without glass would be unimaginable. The endless applications and shapes of glass products are possible by the use of special tools.

The manufacture of glass for any application is obviously a delicate process and not as easy as one may think. Special metal-bonded diamond wheels were invented to grind and shape various kinds of glass. These tools are designed to effectively and efficiently grind glass for uses such as auto-glass, architectural glass, glasses and etc.

The applications of metal bonded wheels are unlimited. In addition to glass grinding, applications have extended to grinding and sharpening carbide tipped saws, ferrite, ceramic, tungsten carbide, auto-parts, quartz, stone, and etc.

In the late 1970’s, EHWA® started to design and manufacture edge wheels for grinding of auto-glass, and all sizes of broun tubes, from 14 inches to 33 inches. In the early 1990’s, EHWA successfully began manufacturing high quality edge wheels for grinding liquid glass, which is mostly used in the semi-conductor industry. Thereafter, EHWA® began producing electrolysis grinding wheels to meet the needs of the high-tech industries.
