Abstract
A portable apparatus for shaping glass by abrasion utilizes a pneumatic motor carried by a carriage which travels along a track. A glass cutting abrasive blade is driven by a pneumatic motor and a fluid coolant spray, which coolant may be water, is directed to the abrading surface of the blade where it contacts the glass being shaped. Various shaping blades may be utilized for cutting, bevel edging, pencil edging and the like.
