Shave/plane glass?
I bought some glass, but it's about 1mm too tall. (It would take a
long dull paragraph to explain everything, so I'll skip that.) It's thick lamenate glass, and I need to shave off / plane 1mm off one of the sides. Is this possible? Thanks a lot for any ideas. |

I have used an oil stone to take off sharp edges but 1mm sounds a tall order. One of those diamond impregnated tool sharpeners perhaps? I doubt this is an obvious angle grinder job:-) regards -- Tim Lamb |

Take it back to the supplier (or a good glazier, like Roman Glass in Bristol) and have them grind it down on their belt grinder. This is easy (for people who have glass-working belt grinders) You can also do it yourself with a coarse carborundum stone, ideally working under water. I detest this job, particularly on anything big. 1mm is big for grinding by hand. Otherwise stretching the frame is probably easier. |

If you could, you'd be the sort of person who makes his own telescope lenses and mirrors and you'd know what to do. As others have said, if it's toughened glass, which is probably is, then all bets are off. |

Thanks a lot for all replies. I'm going to contact the supplier first thing in the morning, and ask if I can take the 3 glass sheets back in for grinding. Just for a bit of extra info/interest - it's 10.8mm acoustic stadip silence glass. This is laminate glass, but I think the "filling" has special acoustic properties. (BTW, it's not possible to alter the frame in any way.) |

I doubt that you could at home. Yes it can be done at home and without the help of Pilks. If you could, you'd be the sort of person who makes his own telescope lenses and mirrors and you'd know what to do. A totally inane statement from someone who has no knowledge of the subject. As others have said, if it's toughened glass, which is probably is, then all bets are off. You are also unable to accurately read a post, the glass was stated as *LAMINATED* , which is an entirely different method of manufacture [1] - and as a result, "all bets" are *ON* - simply grind it using a diamond or carborundum stone (powered or manual). Just ensure that the glass is lying on a flat surface and take care and time in doing it. [1] Very simply put (and you can google it to get detailed information): TOUGHENED glass is heat-treated to set up internal stresses - and *cannot* be worked after. LAMINATED glass has a plastic interleave between two pieces of glass - and *can* be worked after. Good day to you. Falco |

Would I need to be careful about ventilation, because of glass particles in the air? I think if my glass supplier says to bring in the sheets, and they can do it for less than £50, I'm tempted to go for that approach, because I'm incredibly busy ATM, and would like the glass ground down ASAP. |

Do you think it will cost more than £50? I'll be surprised if you can get it done for £50. The last quote that I had for scratch removal from glass was £150, this was for a minor scratch that was simply bloody irritating and was much less than 1mm deep. To skim 1mm off three sheets of glass seems like a major undertaking. I'm really surprised that it's not easier to adjust the frame. What is stopping you? |

I've moved in to a flat, and just outside the flat is some kind of contraption that makes a lot of noise. I think it may be a generator for air conditioning. There's a shop downstairs, and I think it's theirs. I can't make any alterations to the flat in any way, because I'm just renting, and I'll be gone in about 5 months time, so I want a quick and easy "solution". The existing double glazing looks cheap and nasty. My "bodge job" approach to this problem was to buy 3 sheets of thick lamenated glass, and simply wedge them inside the inner window area, so that they sit on top of the window sill, a little bit like secondary glazing. Luckily, there's a kind of perimeter ridge area within this inner window area, where I can lean the sheets of glass against. But because the glass sheets are fractionally too tall, there's not enough room for me to wedge them between the window sill at the bottom, and the top part of the inner window area. If I can't economically get 1mm shaved off the sheets, I could try a different approach. But plan B is even more mad than the above plan A. I could get a wood plane, and shave off about 1mm of the front window sill area! That would allow me to get the 3 sheets of glass wedged in and propped up inside the inner window area. However, this will cause one significant problem: after planing the front part of the window sill wood (the area which is furthest away from the existing double glazing), the entire window sill wood area will get 2 height levels. One level will be lower (at the front where I want to prop up the glass), and one level will be 1mm higher (at the back, near where the existing glazing is.) So, you'll see a "ridge" where these 2 levels meet. Could I sand that ridge down, to kind of merge the 2 levels, so it won't be noticeable? Of course, I'll need to repaint the window sill where I have used the wood plane. The flat is a bit of a dump, and I doubt whether the owner cares about this... I suppose the worst that could happen is I'll either get a deduction on my flat rental deposit, or I'll get sectioned for being a loon. |

Any glazier should be able to do that for you. Although you're going about things in a weird way IMO.

A-ha! No, you're correct. That's all I want to do. The glass is 10.8mm thick, and that's perfect - just what I need. The problem is that the height of the glass (848mm) is fractionally too tall. If I could reduce this height dimension to 847mm, it would then fit snugly inside the inner window recess area. Problem solved perhaps? I'll ring the glazing shop tomorrow morning, and report back with their answer+price. Thanks. |

Unfortunately, I think you're right. The A/C unit (if that's what it is) is mounted on the outside flat wall, and it's fairly likely the noise will be travelling through the wall. However, the cheap n nasty double glazing does appear to be one weak link in the flat, sound wise. There's nothing I can do about the vibration, but if the secondary glazing plan works and cuts down the noise by a quarter or a third, then that'll be good enough. I hope. I was at the flat today at about 7 AM. I wonder why the downstairs shop needs it running on Sunday morning? There was no one there. This thing makes a noise for about 30 seconds, then stops. 4-5 minutes later, the same thing happens. Again and again... I've been at the flat during work day hours, and the thing makes a louder sound for longer periods. |

Or spoil the food if it is a refridgeration system and not an aircon unit:-) Which would be my guess too - and explain why it runs 24 hours, but works harder in the day when they open the fridge door.(1) Andy -- (1) It'll probably be room sized, or a room full of cabinets, not a domestic system |

Please supply your link to this I already have. - as I consider your information to be incorrect. Whoop-de-do, some anonymous troll has delusions of competence. Should I be concerned? ... No. |

Perhaps you could do so? I have several pieces of laminated glass which are toughened. i.e. the laminate is a sheet of toughened glass, the polymer then a sheet of non-toughened glass. Bull**** Steve. Talk to a glass laminator and they might (if they can be arsed to talk to know-it-all ****wit #3 round here) why you can't have toughened in a lamination. If you find a way of doing this, there's a market calling out for it. If you think you can do it with a cold adhesive laminate then there's already a market for that, but it's no use to man nor beast as it looks bad and it has no more strength than plain toughened. |

I'll be surprised if you can get it done for £50. The last quote that I had for scratch removal from glass was £150, Aye Steve, but a tenner to anyone else would be a quote for £150 to an oil magnate like you. |

No it's not, Dingleberry. Talk to a glass laminator and they might (if they can be arsed to talk to know-it-all ****wit #3 round here) why you can't have toughened in a lamination. I've already posted one URL from a laminator who will provide toughened glass laminations. Here's another URL explaining how toughned glass is used in laminated windscreens. http://www.answers.com/topic/automobile-windshield You will also find that it's mandatory to use toughened glass in European (CE marked) windscreens to reduce facial lacerations in the event of someone's facing impacting the inner surface of the windscreen. Here's the URL I provided earlier that it appears you, and other ****wits like you couldn't be bothered to read: http://glazeguard.com/safeguard.htm |

Oh look, here's a data sheet from the major UK supplier of toughened, laminated glass something you say doesn't exist. Apology on its way yet, Dingleberry? http://www.essexsafetyglass.co.uk/pdf/TuffLam.pdf |
