Neil Are you sure it's glass ? A lot of filters are hard resin

Feels heavy for resin, I think its glass. It's by Leech so it must be fairly old, they don't seem to have a modern website.

I went to look at a job many years ago and one of the things they use to make were glass discs for part of their products. They cut the glass into squares first then "knibbled" them into (very) rough rounds. They were then stacked into a column using bees wax to stick them together. The columns of glass where then mounted between centres on the lathe and turned true. Heating the turned column melted the wax separating it into individual discs. I've no idea what type of tool they use though.

I have some of my own beeswax I have been minding for many years.
