Inland Craft WizCG Glass Grinder
A proven two-bit grinder for hobbyists who want useful torque without a large professional machine.
The WizCG is the easy model to understand in Inland’s range: enough published torque for regular edge cleanup, a useful two-bit setup and a work surface that is generous without turning the machine into a studio fixture.
Reasons to choose it
- Best all-round studio grinder

Consider before buying

What ownership is actually like
The removable open-grid table makes rinsing and sludge cleanup more straightforward. Keep the coolant path wet and move the bit height periodically so one narrow band does not take all the wear.
Who it suits
This is a strong shortlist candidate for best all-round studio grinder. The useful question is whether that describes most of your work, not merely one future project.
When another tool makes more sense
Choose the Wizard IV if broad panels and frequent sessions matter more than a compact, mid-range setup.
Inland Craft WizCG Glass Grinder FAQ
Is the Inland Craft WizCG Glass Grinder an actual glass grinder?
Yes. It is a powered wet grinder made to shape and smooth stained-glass edges with a diamond grinding bit. It is not merely a bit, cutter or handheld rotary-tool attachment.
What should I verify before buying the Inland Craft WizCG Glass Grinder?
Confirm the exact model, voltage, plug, included grinding bits and seller bundle. Also check that replacement bits and coolant parts are available where you live.
