Speed Bit 4 stars
By PHOEBE S. on February 23, 2009 - See all my reviews
Pros : It is faster, especially noticeable with thicker glass, like fused layers.
Cons : "Speed bit" is misleading. It's faster because it is coarser and removes the glass in chunks rather than dust, and it throws them both up as well as out. This means you need a face shield, not just eye protection. It can chip regular glass as well as delicate glass. It does not leave a finished edge on the glass.
Other Thoughts : As in any craft, "the right tool for the right job" applies. You'd use this like a coarse rasp in woodworking, for roughing out and removing large areas of glass, stopping before you get to the final size and then switching to a finer grit to finish. This has its place in your toolbox, just don't expect it to necessarily speed up your production of finished pieces.
