Carbide Wheels

Fletcher-Terry scoring wheels are machined from specially formulated micrograin tungsten carbide – a material that was developed exclusively for Fletcher-Terry. This fine particle carbide composition gives each wheel extraordinary strength and resilience. Our formula also ensures that the cutting properties of our wheels remain consistent, which means superior edge quality for your end product. When considering the optimal cutting wheel required for your application, Fletcher-Terry will assist you to better understand the variables that affect your results.

Below are some of the key areas to consider:

• Cutting Force – Cutting force works in conjunction with the cutting wheel diameter and angle

• Cutting Wheel Diameter & Angle – When selecting the appropriate cutting wheel, one needs to determine glass thickness and if straight or shape (pattern) is required

• Speed of Cutting Wheel – Typically operating parameters are set to yield a certain score quality, ease of break-out and edge quality

• Cleanliness of Glass
