Battellino FP 5 Cup Wheel Edger

When your glass fabrication shop demands precision edges without the headaches, the Battellino FP 5 Cup Wheel Edger delivers. 

This 5-spindle edger combines Italian engineering with practical, shop-floor design—giving you the smooth, consistent edges your customers expect while keeping your operators happy and productive.

Built by Battellino, a trusted name in glass fabrication equipment, this cup wheel edger transforms rough glass edges into polished perfection. 

Whether you’re running small custom pieces or tackling production runs, the FP 5 keeps pace with your ambitions.

Italian-Made Edging Technology You Can Trust

There’s a reason Italian glass machinery commands respect worldwide. Battellino has spent decades refining its craft, and the FP 5 represents that accumulated expertise in every weld, bearing, and spindle.

The machine’s 5-spindle configuration allows for progressive edge refinement—each wheel building on the work of the last. 

Raw edges enter one side; beautifully finished edges exit the other. The process feels almost effortless once you’ve dialed in your settings, and your team will appreciate how intuitive the controls are.

What sets Italian equipment apart is the attention to longevity. Battellino engineers designed the FP 5 to run day after day, year after year, without the constant maintenance headaches that plague lesser machines.

Built for Durability and Real-World Performance

The foundation of the FP 5 is its rigid, thick cast-iron construction. This isn’t lightweight sheet metal that flexes under stress—it’s substantial, heavy-duty material that absorbs vibration and maintains precision even during demanding production runs.

That super-strong conveyor track design means your glass travels smoothly and consistently through the edging process. 

Inconsistent feed rates create inconsistent edges, so Battellino engineered this system to eliminate variations before they become problems.

Key Specifications for This Wheel Edger

Before investing in edging equipment, you need to know it handles your workload. 

The FP 5 accommodates a practical range of glass sizes and thicknesses that covers most shop requirements.

• Processes glass up to 1/2″ thick.
• Handles small parts down to 3 1/4″ × 3 1/4″.
• 5 spindles for progressive edge finishing.
• Easy wheel access for quick changeovers.

These specifications make the FP 5 versatile enough for custom glass shops while robust enough for higher-volume operations.

Why Glass Professionals Choose This Edging Machine

Walk into shops that have been running Battellino equipment for years, and you’ll hear the same themes repeated: reliability, consistency, and simplicity.

The “simple, reliable, and easy to use” philosophy isn’t marketing speak—it reflects genuine design choices. Controls are straightforward. Maintenance access points are logical. When something needs adjustment, you can actually reach it without disassembling half the machine.

That easy access to the wheels matters more than most people realize until they’ve struggled with a poorly designed edger. 

Wheel changes happen faster, which means less downtime and more production. Your operators will thank you.

The cast iron construction also contributes to edge quality in ways that aren’t immediately obvious. Mass dampens vibration. 

Vibration causes chatter marks and inconsistencies. By building the FP 5 with substantial cast iron components, Battellino ensures that the physics work in your favor rather than against you.

Integrating the FP 5 Into Your Production Line

Modern glass fabrication requires equipment that works together seamlessly. 

The FP 5 complements other flat glass edging machines in your facility and integrates well with downstream washing and inspection stations.

If you’re building out a new production line or upgrading existing equipment, consider how the FP 5 fits into your overall workflow. Our team can help you plan layouts that maximize efficiency and minimize handling between stations.

Matodi also stocks diamond wheels and tooling to keep your equipment running at peak performance. From spare parts to technical assistance, we stand behind the machinery we sell.

What Makes Battellino Different

Battellino has built its reputation on machines that work hard and last long. The FP 5 continues that tradition with thoughtful engineering choices at every level.

Italian manufacturing standards demand precision in ways that show up in the finished product. Tolerances are tight. Fit and finish reflect pride in craftsmanship. These machines aren’t assembled—they’re built by people who care about the result.

When you invest in Battellino equipment through Matodi, you’re choosing machinery that will serve your shop for years to come. 

The upfront investment pays dividends in reduced downtime, consistent output, and lower long-term operating costs.

Glass fabricators who have made the switch to Battellino equipment often mention the peace of mind that comes with owning well-built machinery. 

No more worrying about breakdowns during rush orders or inconsistent edges that require rework. The FP 5 just works—shift after shift, job after job.
