The rule of thumb is to remove the grinder bit if you won't be using the grinder for awhile...otherwise the glass dust turns into a cement and locks the bit in place..... apparently, I didn't subscribe to that rule!
It appears that I never even finished cleaning it after I used it last, so that's a double shame on me!
A couple applications of WD-40, a locking wrench and a screw driver are getting me somewhere....I'm just not there yet!
So why do I need a grinder now? The 5th pane is about to get fused (yes, #4 is a success!!!!) and I will likely need to grind down the edges of each pane so they will fit in their slots in the new ark.
Sigh.....1 giant step forward....and a couple steps back. Assuming I can remove the old bit and get the new one on...I will do better on maintenance......a giant self promise!
