dust contains chemicals that can be
hazardous to your lungs if inhaled and is
known to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals, work in a
well ventilated area and wear a face or
dust mask.
Never grind more than one workpiece
at a time.
Some materials contain poisonous
elements. Avoid grinding materials that
contain uranium, mercury, lead, arsenic,
etc. Make sure you know the material you
are grinding.
Do not allow water to run down the
shaft and into the motor. This will cause
the motor to instantly burn out. This
machine is designed in such a way that
this does not occur with normal use.
Do not overll the water reservoir.

Do not force the tool or attachment to
do a job it is not designed to do.
Avoid awkward operations and hand
positions. Make sure you have good
balance while working on this machine.
A sudden slip could cause your hand to
move into the moving grinder bit.
Always stay alert. You must be focused
while working on this machine. Your
grinding material can catch on the
grinder bit and eject out of the area.
Maintenance
Always disconnect from power
before servicing. Disconnect machine
from power source before making any
adjustments and when not in use.
Do not abuse the power cord. 
carry the machine by the cord or yank it
to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord
away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
Do not open the motor housing. There
are no user serviceable parts inside.
Clean and dry machine after use.

A water/coolant mixture prevents
airborne glass dust, increases grinding
speed, and prolongs the life of the
diamond surface on the grinder bits.

to the ridge on the coolant level indicator
located in the middle of the reservoir
(Fig. A). Optionally, you can add a capful
of Inland Craft diamond coolant (not
included) to increase diamond bit life
and grinding speed. Replace the work
surface.
*IMPORTANT NOTES: Never pour
water directly onto the grinder bit or
down the motor shaft. Do not overll
the coolant reservoir; overlling
can create an electrical shock and
damage the motor. Do not use
antifreeze as a coolant.
ASSEMBLY
Installing the grinder bit
In chronological order, install the grinder
bit according to the steps below and
Fig. B on page 8.
1Insert the BitSert into the work surface.
2Insert the splash guard into the installed BitSert.
3Before installing the grinder bit, apply a thin coat of Inland Craft
motor shaft lubricant (not included) to
the motor shaft. This is to prevent the set
screw from seizing to the motor shaft.
Metal against metal, under pressure and
over time can bond. Loosening the set
screw between uses also prevents this. If
you do not have the Inland Craft motor
shaft lubricant, use a small amount of
Vaseline.
4Take the included 3/4" grinder bit and loosen the set screw using
the included Allen wrench, turning
counterclockwise.
5Slide the 3/4" grinder bit onto the motor shaft, positioning the set

shaft. Bits should slide onto the motor
shaft easily, do not force!
6Lower the bit until just over 1/8" of the diamond is exposed above the
work surface. Secure the bit using the
Allen wrench, turning clockwise.

Sponge placement
The included yellow sponge is what feeds
the coolant to the grinding bit while you
work. It is held in place by the BitSert. To

under clean water. Insert the sponge into
the rectangular hole behind the BitSert,
so that the bottom of the sponge makes
contact with the coolant in the reservoir,
and the top of the sponge makes contact
with the diamond surface of the bit
(Fig. C). The sponge must always have
contact with the bit while grinding. If a
white paste develops on the head or
on your glass while grinding, either the
sponge is not properly positioned or the
water/coolant level in the reservoir is low.
Periodically rinse out the sponge to remove
accumulated grinding residue. When the
sponge becomes worn, replace it.
Fire it up!
Make sure the power cord is plugged into
a grounded electrical outlet. Put on safety
goggles (not included) and turn on power

*IMPORTANT NOTE: Always tighten
and secure the grinder bit set screw
to the at side of the motor shaft.
Tightening the grinder bit to the
rounded side can scar the shaft and
prevent bit removal. Never force a
bit onto the motor shaft and never
attempt to pry off a bit. If the bit
is stuck, please review our FAQ at
inlandcraft.com/faq rst. If you still
need assistance, please contact

USAGE
Grinding
Turn on the machine and start grinding
a piece of scrap glass to get a ‘feel’ for
the grinding action. Begin by pushing
the glass into the grinding bit using light
pressure and moving the glass back and
forth across the bit. Slowly increase the
pressure until you feel comfortable with
the grinding speed and your control.

pressure for the types of glass you
use. When grinding out deep cuts, use
intermittent pressure to allow coolant
to rinse ground glass from the head. If
you ever have a white paste form on
the bit, it is not getting enough coolant.
Stop, turn off the machine, and check
the sponge placement and coolant level.
Grinding without coolant greatly reduces
the life of your grinding heads.
As the diamond surface wears, you will
feel it grind less effectively. When this
happens, it is time to expose a new
portion of the diamond surface. Loosen
the set screw using the included Allen
wrench and move the grinding head up
on the shaft to expose a new 1/8" section
of diamond. Secure the bit back in place
making sure to tighten the set screw

Reposition the sponge if needed. You
have up to 5, 1/8" sections of exposed
diamond on a standard grinding bit
to use before you need to consider
replacing the entire head.
How to drill a hole in glass
The WizCG comes with a 1/4" grinding/
drilling bit. It is not included with the
WizlingCG. This 1/4" grinder bit is useful
for drilling holes and intricate grinding.
The 1/4" bit is placed onto the motor shaft
and sits on top of the 3/4" grinder bit.
Loosen the set screw with the included
Allen wrench, then slide the bit onto the

side of the motor shaft. You need to supply
the coolant to the 1/4" bit while drilling by
using the other included sponge soaked in
coolant. Begin drilling the hole by holding
the front surface of the glass against the
upper edge of the bit at about a 45° angle,
while holding the coolant soaked sponge
against the bit and glass (Fig. D). You will
want to use two hands. Slowly move the
glass down onto the bit in a horizontal
position. Continue to work the glass down
and around the top of the bit in a circular
motion, making sure to keep the glass and
diamond wet at all times. You may need
to stop and soak the sponge with coolant
several times. Reduce pressure as you

begin to see the bit
come through the
back of the glass
to avoid chipping.
