Wazer Pro : Glass chipping

[Remi]

Hi WAZER Pro users,

I’d like to hear from others cutting 3 mm glass with the WAZER Pro.

We are experiencing 2–10% chipping/blowout during piercing, compared with around 0.1% on our WAZER Desktop.

We have tested different glasses, abrasive flow rates, lead-ins, tabs, the jewel orifice and even the complete cutting head, following WAZER Support’s troubleshooting recommendations.

Despite this, the issue remains.

What concerns us most is that WAZER Support considers a 2–10% chipping rate to be within the expected range for the Pro.

For those of you cutting 3 mm glass: what chipping rate are you actually getting?

Any feedback or experience would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
Rémi

I do get this sort of chip also, It’s occasional, and usuall when the cut is near the outer side of glass, I can actually hear it when it happens. It’s not often though.

have you had the same issue with other colors? I know from my wifes hand work and now using the wazer that really opaque bright colors, specifically yellows and whites, have a really high crack and chip rate.
