Product Description

Easily create complex designs, patterns and shapes in all kinds of glass with the slender omni-directional blade. The Slim blade offers the most intricate cutting ability of all the Ring Blades. Because of the Slim blade's diminutive size, it has greater ability to create otherwise difficult designs and is ideal when cutting non-ferrous metals, but the smaller size also takes away strength, so it is recommended only when its size is beneficial.

  • Blade Shape: Oval .062 x .072 (front to back).
  • Grit is aggressive
  • Material Thickness Capacity: 3/8", normal use is 1/8" art glass, 1/4" 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.

  •   Best blade
By on
Pros : By far a must have blade. The best blade for all but production work. Smooth grindless cuts speeds up the work. Cut thin glass without chipping. Small enough that it does not bind on curves. Sideways cuts are smooth and effortless.
Cons : None to date
Other Thoughts : Money well spent.

How and when did you get started in glass art? I saw an article about Kristin Frantzen-Orr along with a step by step example of how to do one of her famous floral beads. I talked about it so much my husband bought me a beginning torch set for the following Christmas. Once I got the kiln and the duel fuel torch, I just kept experimenting and growing from there. Kristin is still my idol and I keep telling myself that one day I will do nice, clean floral beads like hers. Your jewelry, vases, plates etc. are all beautiful. I especially love the geologic nature of your Copper Reactive dish, its so unique. Can you tell us a little about how you achieved that look? The base glass is Bullseye Steel Blue Opal (000146) and it reacts all on its own. I used clear stringers and broke up chunks
We tell ourselves not to judge a book by its cover, but the simple truth is, we are attracted to whats attractive. On a recent hunt for a birthday present for my mother, I came across several beautiful handbags in several different boutiques. What ultimately influenced my final purchase decision was the complimentary gift-wrapping offered by one of the storeowners. The handbag itself wasnt any prettier or better quality than the others I was considering, but the packaging was beautiful. Brightly colored tissue, a big sturdy box, quality wrapping paper and an oversized hand-tied bow. No, it wasnt sealed with a kiss, rather a large gold embossed sticker with the boutique name and logo (theres nothing wrong with a little discreet self-promotion). Here are a few tips for better packaging-it might just buy you your next customer. 1. Show your customers what theyll get. The boutique I mentioned earlier had
Delphi merchandiser Kayleigh McGrath recently shared some photos from her early days at Delphi. She was playing around with different colors and textures of glass and learning the hard way that there are limits to what you can do (and cant do) in fusing. The first image shows what happened when Kayleigh layered dichroic glass, coating to coating. The base is 90 COE dichroic rainbow pixi stix on black, (Delphi item 921714) and the top is an old texture we dont carry any more (cyan red radium on clear.) The second image is of a piece Kayleigh loved so much she impatiently removed it from the kiln when it was still too hot (havent we all done this. ) As you can see, it suffered thermal shock. This was made with the same 90 COE pixi stix on black for the base and capped with Delphi item U630090 90 COE
