Glass cutting in Dublin

    I have some lovely old folding cameras and the old push on filters to suit. Some of them though the glass is damaged too much to use.

    So I was wondering, anyone got an idea of a place I could take these old filters and some new larger ones and say .."cut this new glass down to fit the old filter".

    Long shot I suspect, but you never know.

    are they round or rectangular?

    how thick is the glass

    Various sizes ... all ranging from 29mm, 29.5mm, 30mm, 32mm and 37mm. mainly in push on format .. All round,

    The proposed glass will be whatever thickness the glass in new Hoya yellow 52mm filters is now, as opposed to whatever is in these filters at the moment.

    So I basically want to hand someone the old filters and a load of new Hoya's and ask them to cut the new filters down to the old size and replace the glass.

    Might be just as well off buying yourself a Dremel or something, that'll set you back about €100->€150 or so with a set of various cut-off, grinding and polishing bits. And besides, every man needs a Dremel. You'd be surprised once you own one how often you find an excuse to use it. Glass needs grindin' ? Lets Dremel it ! Someone's locked themselves in the bathroom ? Get the Dremel ! Kid has a splinter in their finger ? Dremel !

    And wear plenty of eye protection :eek:
