A way to do curved glass??

[Jason Smalling]

Hello, does anyone know how to laser engrave curved glass? The glass I am trying to engrave has a 6 inch radius, and the rotary attachment for my pinnacle M only accepts up to 3 inch radius. Does anyone know how to make an attachment, or another way of engraving this glass. It is a photo display stand, not a drinking glass. Just so everyone is on the same page. It has chord length of 9 inches, and a middle point height of 1.875. The arc length is 10 inches. If anyone knows how to make a setup, or laser engrave this, I would greatly appreciate any tips or info. Thanks!!

are you talking about the glass crescents? I've done these by stacking pen cases up high enough to lay the frame on top and get a fairly flat surface good enough to reverse engrave on. My biggest problem has been getting a good even placement and I found the set up to be too time consuming to continue selling them.

that's one like this.

Hey Craig,
that is exactly what I was talking about. I think i see what you are saying. stack one side up, so that it is closer to being flat. So what you would have to do is do half at a time, if you wanted to do the whole thing. Am I correct? That is a pretty good idea. You said that you stopped selling them, where can I purchase these in bulk? They are a good seller in my shop. Thanks again!

they're reasonably priced at www.jdsindustries.com. I don't have a catalog on me at the moment but if someone doesn't post it by tomorrow, I'll give you pricing when i get to my store. If memory serves, i think they're only 4 or 5 bucks max.

7x10 crescent, holds 3.5x5 pic, $4.95 each in cases of 18
10x12 cresent, holds 5x7, $7.75 each in cases of 9
5.5x12 cresent, holds 3.5x5 pic, $5.10 each in cases of 14
7.5x13 cresent, holds 5x7 pic, $7.75 each in cases of 10.

Prices about $2 higher if ordered less than case. I thought they were a little cheaper :o
