The Inland “Wizard™” was
engineered to be simple to operate and highly
durable. Years of experience with diamond tool
technology have gone into the development of the
finest glass routers available.
Please take time to read all of
the instructions and helpful hints listed. By
following them you will enjoy hundreds of hours of
trouble-free use from your “Wizard™”.
Any grinding operation can
cause a hazard to your eyes. Small particles of
glass can be a nuisance or damaging to your eyes.
Therefore, it is essential that you wear adequate
safety glasses while using your "Wizard™".
There is absolutely no reason not to wear eye
protection. Do not rely on eye shield devices. Safety
glasses are a must!
Great care was take to manufacturer your
"Wizard™" as an electrically grounded
machine. When used as designed, it is completely
safe. Under no circumstances should the tree prong
electrical plug system be overridden. Only use
the "Wizard™" with a properly
grounded electrical outlet that accepts the three
prong electrical plug.
Your "Wizard™"
comes to you with no assembly required. The unit
should be used on a flat, rigid surface. A
desirable surface table height is 42". Set up
your "Wizard™" in an area that would
normally be used as a workshop. After the
"Wizard™" has been set up, place the
splash guard in the water coolant reservoir behind
the diamond bit.
Before the unit is plugged into
an electrical outlet, add 8 to 10 ounces of water
to the reservoir. We highly recommend the use of a
water soluble coolant. Inland "Wizard™"
Coolant has been designed specifically for use
with the "Wizard™". It is available
from your "Wizard™" dealer.
The "Wizard™" is manufactured with
a three prong grounded electrical system. Under no
circumstances should you remove the third (ground)
prong from the electrical cord. The unit should
only be used with a properly grounded 110 volt
electrical outlet. The grounded electrical system
was established for your protection; under no
circumstances should it be overridden or
eliminated

Now that the grinder is
properly set up, you are ready to grind. If you
have never used a diamond router, grind slowly at
first. Develop speed after your feel comfortable
using your "Wizard™".
Start with a scrap piece of
glass to test the cutting action of the diamond
bit. Before grinding, lightly push the sponge into
the grinding head to insure that it is adequately
flooded with water and coolant. (Repeat this
procedure whenever you begin to grind after the
machine has been shut off or at any time that you
notice a white build-up of ground glass on bit.)
As you begin to grind, use
light pressure at first. Gradually increase
pressure until you get a feel for the grinding
action. Generally speaking, stock removal will be
much faster and easier if the glass being ground
is moved back and forth across the face of the
grinding head.
If you have to make a deep cut
into the glass in one specific area, it is best to
use intermittent pressure. By using this
technique, you will allow the sponge to clean the
glass swarf from the diamond section and allow it
to cut efficiently.
Each bit supplied with your
"Wizard™" has over 1/2" inch of
usable diamond surface. This is the greatest
amount of usable diamond provided with any grinder
available on the market today. Most stained glass
is approximately 1/8 inch thick. Since the bit
grinding surface is over four times larger than
the average thickness of your glass you should, by
adjusting the bit up and down the shaft, be able
to get four usable grinding surfaces out of each
bit.
To adjust the bit up or down on
the shaft, simply loosen the set screw in the bit
with the allen wrench provided with the unit. The
bit should slide freely on the shaft.
When grinding with a WB-5,
WB-6, or WB-7 diamond bit that has a 1/4"
upper diamond section, follow these suggestions.
The 1/4 inch bit portion can be used either for
delicate grinding or for hole drilling. In either
case it is important to keep the diamond cooled.
Do this by dabbing the bit with a sponge or
actually holding a sponge against the bit while
you grind.
To drill a hole, present the glass to the upper
edge of the 1/4 inch bit at a 45° angle.
Continually dab the bit with a coolant soaked
sponge. In a short period of time you will have
ground a 1/4 inch hole in your work piece.

Changing bits is a fast, simple
procedure. Your "Wizard™" motor shaft
is stainless steel and the bits are pure brass. As
a result, and especially if you use Inland
"Wizard™" Coolant, the bit should
never seize on the shaft.
To remove the bit, simply loosen the set screw
on the side of the bit with the allen wrench
provided with your "Wizard™". It is
not necessary to remove the set screw. Before
putting on a new bit or reusing the original bit,
we recommend the you grease both the motor shaft
and the inside diameter of the bit.
"Wizard™"
A great deal of consideration
was given the simplicity of maintenance of these
units.
It was designed with a
permanently lubricated ball bearing motor.
Therefore, it should never be necessary to work on
the interior of the unit. Maintenance is limited
to changing the sponge and cleaning the unit.
The sponge can be used for long
periods of time. It is recommended that the sponge
be washed out frequently to remove ground glass
particles. When the sponge is frayed and no longer
contacts the bit, it should be replace.
Ground glass can, under certain
circumstances, dry to almost the consistency of
concrete. It is important to keep your
"Wizard™" free of ground glass,
especially if it is going to be unused for several
days
Cleaning is very simple, the work surface has
been designed to simply lift off for cleaning.
After removing the work surface, use paper towels
or a rag to clean the reservoir.

As indicated earlier, we highly
recommend that a water soluble coolant be used in
your "Wizard™". Inland
""Wizard™" Coolant is a high
concentrate material with a high lubricity factor.
1) By using this coolant you will:
2) Make the bit cut freely and more efficiently
by reducing friction
3) This will increase the life of your diamond
bit.
4) The use of coolant will make clean up easier.
5) By using coolant you will further insure
against the seizure of the bit to the motor
shaft because the coolant will act as a
corrosion inhibitor.
Your "Wizard™"
grinder is constructed of heavy duty glass filled
polymers. The motor is a 3400 RPM, 115 volt, 60
cycle split capacitor unit. It has permanently
lubricated ball bearings and a stainless steel
shaft.
Each "Wizard™"
stained glass router is provided with the
following parts:
(1) Standard aluminum work
surface
(1) Removable splash guard
(1) WB-1 grinding bit
(1) Allen wrench
(2) "Wizard™" Sponges
(1) Instruction Guide.
 The following accessories are
available for your "Wizard™" grinder:
- Choice of seven grinding bits (See the Replacement
Bit Selection section of this booklet
- Straight Edge Guide
- Foot Pedal Switch
- Soft Rubber Work Surface for working with
antique and soft glass
- Inland "Wizard™" Coolant

Inland is the only router
manufacturer that is also a diamond products
manufacturer. As a result, we offer you a wide
selection of high quality diamond bits. Each bit
is designed to run within a tolerance of two-one
thousandths of an inch (.002”)
An important and useful accessory that the “Wizard™” is available with is the straight edger guide or border cutter. This device illustrated below is a “lift off” work surface in and of itself. It can be purchased as a option in place of the standard “lift off” work surface or it can be purchased at a slightly higher cost as an accessory.
The “straight edge guide consists of (1) one specially slotted “lift off” work surface; (2) one lower screw bar; (3) one guide; and (4) two thumb screws. The guide will accommodate a piece of to four inches in width. With the easy to use thumb screws the guide firmly locks in an infinite range of positions for precision cuts. Note that since the slotting is the the work surface and not in the guide. this straight edge guide is less cumbersome and more accurate than guides on any competitive unit.
