Product Description
The Ultimate in Cutting Freedom!
The Taurus 3 Ring Saw Separating Blade opens so that you can make an inside cut in the middle of a piece of glass up to 11" in size. All you need to do is drill a hole anywhere on the piece of glass, open up your Separating Ring Blade while it is still in the saw, put it through the hole, rejoin the blade and cut. The Separating Blade is made from a stainless steel wire that is coated with the same high quality process as all Gemini blades and then has a coupling attached to it which is also coated for protection and smooth action.
The addition of the Separating Blade increases the versatility of the Taurus Ring Saw and provides owners with another tool to expand their creative abilities by letting them cut intricate designs, shapes and patterns on the inside of a piece of glass just as quickly and easily as they can cut on the outside.

There are universal truths about all Taurus 3 ring saw blades:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
