Product Description

Give Your Taurus 3 a Saw Make-Over
Gemini has put together a rebuild kit to get your ring saw back to like new condition. Includes: Standard Blade, 2 Orange Grommets, 5 Blue Pulley Assemblies, 2 Orange Groove Grommet Assemblies and 1 Flocked Drive Belt. Stained glass pattern and all-around multi-purpose cutting blade. Its action is omni-directional—it cuts at the same speed and kerf (the swath left by the blade) in any direction. This ability makes pattern cutting very easy because the user does not have to turn the piece while cutting but simply move it in any direction.

  • Blade Shape: Round .072 Diameter (note 1/16" equals .063 and 1mm equals .0394)
  • Grit is aggressive.
  • Material Thickness Capacity: 3/8", normal use is 1/8" art glass, 1/4" soft wall tile.
  • What to Avoid: Do not use for ceramic tile, 3/8" fused glass pieces, or thick material in general.
  • Average Blade Life: 40-60 hours
There are universal truths about all Taurus 3 ring saw blades:
  1. All blades cut the same materials: glass, tile, stone, shell, nonferrous metals, hard plastics such as acrylic and polycarbonate, and anything that has a similar density to these materials.
  2. All blades use the same belt and grommets. Blades are interchangeable with the same belt and grommets and do not need to be changed unless they are excessively worn.
  3. Always let the blade do the cutting. Forcing the blade through the material in a hurry will not only cause a slower cut but can also shorten the blade life. There is an optimum speed for each blade in each material; you can feel it while you are cutting. Sensitivity to this causes extremely long blade life. Defined, it is the point at which you get maximum cutting speed for minimal pressure.

When and how did you get started in stained glass? Ive been interested in stained glass for as long as I can remember. As a child, I would sit in churches and watch the (often) biblical depictions come to life when a stray ray of sunlight cast its illumination our way. Sun shadows dancing. I dabbled in many media over the years, trying to find an outlet for some of the visions careening inside, but none of them took. Drawing, painting - even watercolours - no amount of professional training could guide my hand in a satisfactory way. But then there was the glass. I lived abroad for a few years, and wound my way through Europe on my way back to the States when I finished my Peace Corps Service. My last international destination was Paris, where one of my closest friends lives as an organist. Two beautiful autumn

Chances are, right now, in reading this blog post, youre avoiding an overdue task. I too was avoiding a laundry list of work-related tasks in writing this. Procrastination is a part of life, and its certainly always been a part of mine. As a teenager, my parents would accuse me of putting off everything from piano practice to math homework. Id vehemently deny their charges hissing back, I work better under pressure. The truth was, I often felt overwhelmed, under-productive and anxious. Over the years, Ive been able to combat my avoidance issues using 4 tools. The trick is constantly reminding myself of these actions, because they do not come naturally to me. 1. Just Say No. I say yes to everything. Need someone to head up that event? Sure. Want me to design 12 posters for the Car Wash? No problem. Take your kid to daycare? Of course.
