SMALL GLASS CUTTER WHEEL

摘要

The invention relates to a small glass cutter wheel having normal dimensions, especially for a cutting head of a glass cutting machine. Said glass cutter is preferably made of sintered hard metal, e.g. tungsten carbide, and has an annular shape with a central bore, lateral surfaces arranged on the outside and close to the bore, and a circular-shaped cutting edge surrounding the periphery with cutting flanks which are wedge-shaped and extend to a cutting edge, preferably comprising cutting grooves by means of abrasion. At least the cutting flanks of the cutter are polished in order to obtain groove widths of less than 1 ñm on average and a nanostructured hard material is disposed on the cutting edge. The invention also relates to a method for the production of a glass cutting wheel.
