With a brilliant design, a torquey motor and a wonderful work surface to boot, the Gryphon Convertible is one of the most versatile and rounded glass grinders on the market today. Sure, the build quality might not be the best in the business, but the features more than make up for it.
Overall, aside from the lower rpm, there is not much else to fault the Gryphon Convertible besides the build quality as it is made of plastic. Despite the shortcomings, it is one of the most unique additions to the stained glass grinder market, and is, without a doubt, one of the most ergonomically designed grinders on sale today.
Gryphon is generally known for having products which are unique in design and use, and the Gryphon Convertible is a prime example of that. It comes with a novel surface which can be bent at an angle that is convenient to you for grinding, along with the usual features one might expect from a stained glass grinder.
A note about the elephant in the room – the inclined workspace of the Gryphon Convertible. It is a brilliant idea, since it gives you the kind of flexibility which is unheard of in this segment. Further, it is also easier on the neck and your back, with the strain being minimized from not having to stand while grinding.
The Gryphon Convertible also comes with a glass cover to protect your eyes while working, which inclines along with the workspace. It features a super powerful 67 ounce per inch motor, that can hit up to 3000 rpm if desired. A second storey surface can also be optioned should you need it for those smaller cuts.

Gryphon Convertible Product Features:
- POWERFUL DC MOTOR – 0.67 amp, 3000 rpm.
- LARGE WORK SURFACE – 13.5″ by 10.5″ with a second story platform.
- REVOLUTIONARY ADVANCE IN COMFORT – By simply rotating the base, the grinding surface converts from horizontal to inclined. For the first time, you can sit while grinding. Even if you stand, the inclined work surface reduces fatigue because you no longer need to stoop over your work to see what you are doing.
- BUILT-IN ELECTRIC PUMP WITH SPONGELESS COOLING – A new electric automatic pump supplies a reliable and constant flow of water directly to the bit regardless of saw orientation. Improved cooling increases the lifespan of bits. The use of a sponge is optional with the electric pump.
- INCLUDED – The Gryphon Convertible Grinder is supplied with two grinding bits, a 1″ and a 1/4″. Of course the grinder can except all other sizes of bits as well, including our Slip-On Bits.

What customers have to say about the Gryphon Convertible ?
According to james thierer,I love this grinder! It is quiet and easy to use. I really like the reservoir pump. You really need to use a sponge or the water sprays all over the place but that is hardly a draw back. I also like that there is a cap over the post. This keeps any water from getting into the motor casing. The platform is close to the wheel so small pieces are still supported on the platform – no other tool is needed to hold them for grinding. I haven’t tried the tilt yet but so far I would highly recommend this grinder. Absolutely love it!
Based on the experience of Duna Penn,The cooling tower/sponge does not seem to be very effective. Have to water to sponge periodically. Otherwise, the grinder is a dream.
