Product Description

The Zephyr Ring Saw Includes More Than Ever Before!
Make cuts in all directions with the quiet, smooth, easy-to-operate Gryphon Zephyr. Cut glass, tile, ceramics and stone up to 1-1/2" thick on the large 17-1/2" x 17-1/2" work surface. Features a deep 6-5/8" throat and diamond coated 7" round blade. Best of all, the saw's bearings and wheels are shielded to protect them from glass dust, extending the life of these critical parts. Comes complete with a replacement blade and a maintenance kit to keep your saw running smoothly. 

The motor/ blade assembly can be easily detached, creating a hand-held saw that can be used to cut anywhere (see additional images). Overall dimensions: 18" x 18" x 11". Three year manufacturer warranty (excludes replaceable parts).

With available specialty blades you can create cuts for all your designs with ease. Fine blade #84107 provides a smooth cut on even delicate materials such as dichroic and iridescent glass. Use the separating blade #84132 to make inside cuts with no leader path (see additional images).

Available in 220/240 Volt
Also available in 220/224 international voltage version.

  •   Is just "okay"
By on
Pros : Quieter than Taurus II - that's the only pro.
Cons : 1. Work surface is tricky to attach. 2. Clear plastic eye guard broke very shortly after I bought it. This part must be removed to open the saw (poor design.) Now I go without it. 3. Doesn't feel as solid as Taurus II (this is the only other saw I can compare it to since I've owned and used both.) Blade feels feeble when cutting. That's the best I can describe it. Blade & belt slippage, even after constantly tightening and replacing blade. 4. You have to remove the work surface to see the water level - this is a pain!
Other Thoughts : I used the Taurus II for many years (at least 10 years and used it heavily)and then bought this saw, which I've used for a year, so I can only compare this saw to the Taurus II. It's quieter than the Taurus II and that's about the only thing good about it. In general I don't like this saw. It seems flimsy and the blade & belt tend to slip (a real pain to have to constantly open and fix.) Eye shield broke shortly after I purchased it. I am now looking into buying another Taurus saw, probably the Taurus III.

  •   Love It
By on
Pros : I have had this saw now for over a year now and have had no problems with it. I do have a band saw, but enjoy this one much better. In the time I've had this so far only the belt has had to be replaced. I make sure I totally clean it each time after use and remove all the grit. I introduced this to my students and after being afraid of using it they look forward to cutting questionable curves. I admit you do have to work pretty quickly when using it, but have found that using Mark Stay helps a great deal.
Cons : none for me
Other Thoughts : I also like the wide surface area. Wish the head had a spot light to shine on the cutting surface - Maybe that will be their next model.

  •   Absolutely great service from Gryphon
By on
Pros : I imported this saw to New Zealand at considerable expense and was mortified when I immediately struck problems with breaking blades. Gryphon was absolutely exceptional with their back up service, twice sending over replacement blades, wheels and inserts at no cost to me. With the exchange of photos via email, the problem was eventually spotted and with new wheels, rubber inserts and another blade so we could set the saw up correctly in an 'as new' condition, the problem was solved. I cannot speak highly enough of the service I received from Gryphon and would happily recommend a Gryphon product to anyone.
Cons : no cons :O)
Other Thoughts : More in depth manual could be advantageous :O)

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

4 Ways to Stop Procrastinating Today
Apr 30, 2010
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.
