A multi-tiered service

How did Bohle become the consumables supplier of choice in the glass processing market? We talk to MD Dave Broxton to find out.

This includes Silberschnitt cutting fluids, manufactured by Bohle, which form a critical part of the overall Silberschnitt range of cutting wheels and other consumables.

Choosing the right cutting fluid is essential for cutting glass efficiently: cutting fluid lubricates the cutting wheel, which provides smoother cutting and it also maintains the stresses within the cut, offering better break out performance and more stable edges.

“Cutting fluid stores those stresses within the glass, which means that you can move the glass around your factory and break out at a later stage,” Dave says. “And when you do, you’ll have a very clean break, and the stresses will be released. So, when you go onto subsequent processing, like toughening or edge polishing, then you don’t have stresses trapped in the glass, which might result in blown glass sheets in the furnace, or chips or scallops in the edge.”

“Bohle’s Silberschnitt cutting fluids have been designed to work perfectly with the whole Silberschnitt glass cutting system,” Dave says. “And we can provide the associated technical support.

“Whatever the size of your operation, whatever the make of your cutting table, we can offer you a tailor-made solution So, whatever glass you are cutting, we can recommend the best cutting wheel to use, and we can also supply you with the appropriate wheel holder, axle and pillar post to fit your machine. Our new range of Silberschnitt cutting fluids is the final element in consistent glass cutting quality.”
