Abstract
Edges of panels, such as glass panels, are ground and polished using grinder wheels that are cooled and lubricated with a coolant. A coolant deflector is utilized to help prevent coolant, which may contain panel particles or abrasives, from entering between the panel and a conveying mechanism that transports the panel.
