Another picture from factory trip, this time cutting rooms. Below quotation from Virtual Tour (http://www.waterford.ie/inside.asp?id=359):

When you move to the cutting shops, you’ll notice that the atmosphere changes from the roar of the furnace to the whirr of diamond-tipped cutting wheels.

Teams of our cutters work on each piece, the largest of which will be several days going through the cutting process.

The deep, intricate wedge patterns, which appear on pieces such as Lismore stemware, are cut against diamond-tipped wheels following a geometric guide marked onto the crystal.
