More water on the bit. Don't push so hard, let the bit do the work. Is the
bit "new"?, use an older, duller bit. And "some" glass just chips, no matter what you do. Don't try to hog off too much glass at a time.....and if you have to grind a lot, work on your cutting techniques. "Boner the Cat" wrote in message . ..
