MIRROR GRINDER BITS BY MIKA
These unique bits eliminate edge chipping on mirror and other soft surfaced glasses. Recommended by Spectrum Glass for use with their SilverCoat glass. Use Mirror Bits when you need a perfectly smooth chip free edge that won't be covered by foil or came.  Simply position the head so that your glass will pass through the groove in the bit. The profile of the bit will slightly taper the back and front side of your glass piece and the fine diamond grit will leave a soft frosted, chip - free edge.

MIKA BEVELING BITS
Create a custom frosted bevel within minutes using either of Mika's beveling bits. Inside curves, outside curves and straight lines - all are no problem. The design of these bits will have you beveling your glass or creating decorative edging like an expert within minutes. Fine grit diamonds give a softly frosted finish.
