Subject: ATM Hey! Has anyone made a biscut cutter?

Hi,
        I've had some experience in rounding the squre peg in low tech manner.
We used to make blanks bu drawing a circle in grease pencil and getting rid of
the excess. This was done with an adjustable wrench (don't know the proper
name, suitable for hex nuts, not a pipe wrench, crescent?) or an open end
wrench of the proper size, just a little larger than the thickness of the
blank. Place blank on a firm work surface hanging over the edge, put the 
wrench on the blank as if it were a horizontal nut and apply pressure down.
This will spall off about 2-3 mm worth of glass. Sound is quite unpleasant,
but the process is quite controllable after a little practice. Important to
wear gloves and good protective clothing and goggles, glass ends up all over
the place. After getting close the blank was dressed with a rotating aluminum
disk with carbo and water applied. More unplesant noise. Remarks about the
brutality/lack of sophistication of the method will be stoically ignored. You
gotta do what you gotta do.

                                    Cheers

                                            Lou
