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.

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.
