Talked to a guy who only uses a 6-inch wheel for his bevels on heavy glass

He said it gives him way more control on thick pieces, especially for custom shower doors. I've always stuck with my 8-inch and never thought to change. Has anyone else tried this for big jobs?

Huh, that's wild. I knew a guy who swore by a smaller wheel for tight radius cuts on thick tempered stuff, said it chipped less.

Forget the wheel size, the real trick is matching the wheel's hardness to the glass thickness. A softer wheel on a smaller diameter can hug the edge of thick stock without skipping. It's a feel thing you pick up after a few bad cuts.
