Inland routers are 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 router.
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 router.
There is absolutely no reason not to wear eye protection. You should wear full eye
goggles when using your router. Do not rely
on eye shield or face shield devices only. They do
not provide adequate protection.
Great care was take to
manufacturer your router as an electrically
grounded machine. When used as designed, it is
safe. Under no circumstances should the tree prong
electrical plug system be overridden.
Only use your router with a properly grounded
electrical outlet that accepts the three prong
electrical plug.
Your router comes ready to operate. The unit should be used on a flat,
rigid surface. A desirable surface table height is 42". Set up your router in an area
that would normally be used as a work area. After the unit is in place, remove the
pink shipping tube from the motor shaft. Install the bit by securing the set screw
against the flat side of the motor shaft with the allen wrench provided. (Note: to avoid
damage which could result in making the bit difficult to remove, make sure the set
screw is secured to the flat side of the motor shaft only.) Make sure the glass to be
ground touches only the diamond band and not the brass core.
Next, install the "Bit-Sert™"
into the "open grid" work surface. (See
Fig III.) To do this, insert the back tabs first,
then snap in the side tabs one at a time. To
remove, grasp the "Bit-Sert™," then
gently pry upwards against a side tab with
a small screwdriver or the allen wrench that is
supplied with the grinding bit
The Wizard is supplied with 5
different Bit-Serts. The Wiz is supplied with two,
and the Wizling is supplied with one. On Wizard
and Wiz models, use the Invisible Sponge Bit-Sert
with the special grinding bit. For further
information on your machine, refer to the Wizard,
Wiz and Wizling sections of this manual.

After the reservoir has been filled, install the work surface by placing it
over the locating posts. On the Wizling model, place the sponge behind the
grinding bit, then install the splash guard behind the sponge by plugging it into the
holes provided in the Bit-Sert. (The Wizard and Wiz models may not require a
sponge when the Invisible Sponge bit-serts are used. Refer to the Wizard and Wiz
sections of the this manual for more specific information.)
Before the unit is plugged into
an electrical outlet, add water to the reservoir.
The reservoir should be about 1/3 to 1/2 full. We
highly recommend the use of a water soluble
coolant. Inland "Router Coolant™" has
been designed specifically for use with your
router. It is available from your Inland Dealer.
Your router is unmanufactured
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 router.
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.)
The Wizard and Wiz model routers utilize a device known as the
Invisible Sponge (patent pending) which eliminates the need for a sponge by
automatically "pumping" coolant to the grinding bit. Refer to the Invisible Sponge
section of this manual for further information.
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. This technique is also use on
machines equipped with the "Invisible Sponge™".
Each WB-1 or WB-9 style grind bit supplied with your router has 5/8 of
an 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 five times
larger than the average thickness of your glass you should, by adjusting the bit up
and down the shaft, be able to get five usable grinding surfaces out of each bit.

Ground glass can, under certain circumstances, dry to almost the
consistency of concrete. It is important to keep your router free of ground glass,
especially if it is not going to be used 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.
When installing a bit, lay a piece of glass on the work surface to use as
an adjustment guide. Make sure the glass is fully in contact with the diamond
band and not the brass core.
Be sure to use only the bits that have been designed for use with your
router. It is important that the top of the plastic tube which surrounds the motor shaft
is never exposed while the machine is in use.
The inland bit WB-8 should only be used when a WB-1 or WB-9 style bit is
in place on the motor shaft. To install the WB-8, loosing the set screw, push the
bit down to its lowest position, then install the WB-8.
As indicated earlier, we highly
recommend that a water soluble coolant be used in
your router. Inland "Router 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.
A great deal of consideration was given the simplicity of maintenance of
these units.
Since all Inland routers have permanently sealed and lubricated sleeve
bearings, maintenance of these machines is limited to cleaning the sponge
(Wizling model) and the unit itself.
When cleaning the router reservoir, be sure not to allow water to flow
down between the motor shaft tube and the motor shaft. Water or coolant in that
area can cause damage to the motor. 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 replaced.

Your new "Wizard Router" is the most versatile glass router available today.
The new "Wizard
Worksurface™" comes complete with planer/straight
edge guides which allow the user to smooth the edge of irregular or rough pieces
of glass easily and efficiently.
To use the planer attachment, adjust the fence on the left side of the
work surface so that it is in line with the face of the bit. (See Figure II.) Next, adjust
the guide on the right side so that it is behind the face of the bit. The ideal
distance will depend on the roughness of the glass and the speed at which you wish
to grind. As a general rule, a distance of about 1/16" should be sufficient.
To grind the glass, place the piece against the guide on the right then push
it along the guide as it makes contact with the bit. (See Figure II.) When the
edge of the glass being ground touches the guide on the left, start to transfer
pressure to this area, then follow through until piece is fully ground. If further grinding
is necessary, repeat procedure until the piece is edged to your satisfaction.
If a piece of glass has been cut too large, the excess can be ground
away using this attachment. For example, if a strip of glass was cut 1/16" too
large, mark the proper size on the piece, then run ti through the planer/straight
edge attachment until the proper size has been obtained.
The Inland "Bit-Serts™" were designed to maintain 1/16" between the face
of the bit and the work surface. This feature supports the glass near the face of
the bit thus eliminating the possibility of small pieces of glass getting caught
between the bit and the worksurface.
The "Bit-Sets™" are easily installed by snapping them into the
worksurface. )See Figure III.) Insert back tabs first, then snap in side tabs one at a time.
Re remove, reverse procedure.

 The
"Bit-Serts™" come in 4 sizes and are
marked 1 thru 4. Use "Bit-Sert™" #1
for 5/8" diameter bit, #2 for 3/4" bit
and so on through #4 for a 1 1/4" diameter
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-6 or WB-8 diamond bit that has a 1/4 inch
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" bit at a
45° angle. Continually dab the bit with a water soaked sponge during the hole
drilling operation. As the bit begins to cut into the glass, slowly bring the glass into
a horizontal position. When the hole nears completion, ease up on the
pressure until the hole is finished.
The 30°, 60°, 90° combination square can be used as a "straight edge
guide" fence. When installed on the worksurface (See Fig.1) it can be used to
grind pieces to exact widths.
This tool is also used as a glass cutting square by placing the "lip" (See
Fig. 1) of the "square" on the top or bottom edge of the glass being cut. Pull or
push the cutter along the long side of the square.
The tool can be used for pattern layout by using the 30°, 60°, or 90°
angles, the circle templates, and the ruled edge.

For installation, instructions and other information regarding the
invisible Sponge see Invisible Sponge instructions on page 11.
The Inland straight edge guide is used to grind pieces to exact widths. To
use this tool, install it on the worksurface with the supplied hardware. Then,
using the ruler, set the desired distance between the bit and the edge of the
straight edge guide. Tighten the thumb screws to lock it in place. When the guide is
in place, push the glass along the guide and into the grinding bit.
Changing bits is a fast, simple procedure. Your router motor shaft is
stainless steel and the bits are pure brass. As a result (and especially if you use
Inland Router 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 router. It is not necessary to remove the
set screw every time you remove the bit. However, if you notice a build-up of
ground glass in the treads of the set screw hole, soak the bit in warm water until
the ground glass comes off the threads easily. This may require gently brushing
with an old toothbrush. When this operation is complete, the set screw should
turn easily in and out of the hole
Before putting on a new bit or using the original bit, we recommend the
you grease both the motor shaft and the inside diameter of the bit where it
makes contact with the shaft. )Note; Never allow the bottom-most part of the grinding
bit to touch any part of the machine reservoir as this may result in irreparable
damage.)

The "Invisible Sponge™" (patent pending) is an exclusive product which is available
on from Inland and its distributors. The "Invisible Sponge™" works by utilizing in part,
centrifugal force and surface tension to "pump" water to the grinding bit. This "pumping" action
is directed around the bit only, which can eliminate the need for a splash guard to confine
the grinding overspray.
To use the Invisible Sponge, remove the open grid worksurface from the
machine. Install the Invisible Sponge insert by snapping it into the open grid worksurface, install
the special Invisible Sponge bit by following these simple instructions; First, loosen the
set screw in the side of the bit with the supplied allen wrench, then slide it over and onto
the motor shaft. The bit is then adjusted to the desired height and lock into place by
tightening the set screw against the flat side of the motor shaft.
Caution: If the set screw is tightened against the round part of the motor shaft, it can leave a burr in the shaft that will result
in making the bit difficult to remove or replace.
Replace the worksurface and adjust the bit so that you are using the topmost section
of the diamond bit first. As the bit wears, loosen the set screw and slide the bit up on the
shaft so that the glass makes contact with a fresh section.
Since most stained glass is approximately 1/8" thick, you should be able to get five
full grinding surfaces out of an Invisible Sponge bit.
When the Invisible Sponge is first installed, the bit may rub against the inside of the
bit insert. This is no cause for alarm, as the bit will naturally wear into place during the first
few uses.
On some of the early models of the Wiz and Wizling, the open grid worksurface
itself may need a slight adjustment. If the bit will not rotate freely when the worksurface with
the Invisible Sponge insert is installed on the machine, follow this procedure. Remove
the worksurface and lay it upside down your work table or other suitable surface. Using a
lead knife, razor knife, lead nippers or other suitable blade, cut away completely the small tab
of plastic which protrudes into the locating square on the two rear corners of the worksurface.
Because the Invisible Sponge bit is a special type bit, do not attempt to use it with
a conventional Bit-Sert and sponge as this may cause damage to machine and
possibly injure you.
Do not touch any part of the bit while the motor is engaged, as
this can present
a laceration hazard.
If, while grinding, you notice white build-up of ground glass on the bit or if the bit
is grinding the glass to a white powder at the
contact point of the bit, add more water to
the reservoir to keep this from occurring. Dry grinding will cause the diamond bit to wear
unusually fast and possibly fracture the glass, due to the increased friction and heat.
The amount of water which is "pumped" to the bit can be regulated by raising or
lowering the grinding bit in the water filled reservoir.
The Invisible Sponge bit insert can only be used with the WB-1S and the
WB-9-IS diamond grinding bits. When using one of the many other Inland bits, you must use
the convetional Bit-Sert and sponge arrangement.
To use the Inland Face Shield accessory on the new Wiz and Wizling, install the
Bit, then the Worksurface with Invisible Sponge Bit-Sert on the location posts. Turn the
machine on, and lightly push the end of the Face Shield post into the rectangular hole in
the rear of the Worksurface. This action will grind a small amount of the Bit-Set away
allowing the bit to rotate freely. After completing the above steps, install the Face Shield lens on
the locating post.
