Gemini Taurus 3 Diamond Ring Saw

Product failed after about 1 hour of service on 3 uses. Motor blows breakers in electric box. There is no support other than ordering wearable parts.

I purchased this saw for my wife in March of 2013 but she didnt use it until two days ago, June 27, 2017. Time spent unused shouldnt have had a negative effect on the saw. Much to my wifes disappointment the motor failed after about two hours of use. The cost of a new motor is about $157.00. Weve contacted the manufacturer but have not heard back from them yet. This may be a freek occurance but I wanted buyers to be aware of the failure.

This is my second Taurus ring saw, as I work in stain glass. Not cheap, but darn, you will love it and wouldnt go to any other model.

I use the Taurus 3 for stained glass and I love it. A little after a month the manufacturers ring broke and I had to replace it. I found a pretty cheap alternative on Amazon that arrived the next day. Also, the red grommets on the stabilizer foot get chewed up pretty quickly. Also found a 10 pack of the grommets on Amazon, but they are OEM and expensive. Overall, really great saw if you dont mind replacing parts and performing maintenance.

Works great and I love it!

Bought this to replace an old Gryphon, wow what a difference. You can go in any direction and the cuts are always perfect.

I am disgusted with this saw. Ive gotten very little use out of it without it having problems. After just a few hours use one of the foot stabilizer grommets tore right through. I called Gemini and they reluctantly offered to send a grommet. They sent the wrong one! I got one from a friend and started using it again. Today I tried using it to cut through some thick glass and after just 2 cuts the blade locked up. I havent taken it apart but I assume the blade is broken and will have to be replaced. For a saw this expensive Im getting almost no use from it. I feel like its very delicate and will be able to be used only to do thin glass pieces. I had hoped it would be a workhorse. I guess I will have to buy another saw to do the things it cant do. I wish Id known before I bought it. Ive gotten no customer service from the company I bought it from and poor service from Gemini. Very unhappy.

I dont know how Ive made it this far, only cutting glass by hand. This saw is opening up so many ideas.

Cutting like a pro!!!!

This is meant for cutting glass. I was cutting single layers, very slowly and cuts were not precise. Also, I was good about keeping the blade and reservoir filled with water and still the motor gave out with barely any use. Another glassworker I know switched to a tile saw. This saw is promoted as being useful for glass artists, but sadly it is not heavy duty.at all.
