Gemini Taurus 3 Diamond Ring Saw

Takes a period of adjustment but great product

Great for cutting glass- even for a beginner

Cutting like a pro!!!!

This machine is so much better than the gryphon ring saw. It fits together better and the materials are quality.

Works great

After about one mouth of use, the blade broke. I contacted customer service and no response They do not cover blade, bearings, drive belt, grommets, spot light, and face shield.

Easy to use

I bought this saw for a second workshop because I was so pleased with my first Taurus. Basic blade is round with abrasive on all sides which allows you to cut glass in any direction without turning the glass. Other blades (sold separately) will cut dichroic glass or thick glass. There is even a blade that separates so you can make an internal cut. It is loud so use ear protection. I highly recommend it.

Overall a nice addition to my collection of stained glass tools. It does take some practice cutting out glass pieces so spend some time practicing on some cheap glass before trying to use it on a project. The saw is a bit noisy but otherwise, no complaints. The most successful way I have found to cut an intricate piece is to transfer the shape you want to a card stock and glue it to the glass using elmers glue on both sides of the card stock. Let it dry before starting the cutting. Generally I have found that pushing the glass into the saw band is better than pulling it through...somewhat better control. The saw also is very helpful in shaving glass from areas of a shape that are otherwise not accessible with a grinder. In this case, I find using a silver marker and coating it with a chap stick will keep the marking visible during the shaving process.

Bought this for my wife who is an avid stained glass artist. She absolutely loves it. Says she can make cuts now that were impossible to do by hand. Woohoo! Happy Wife, Happy Life!
