Pros
I teach beginning stained glass and we use this for its cost-effectiveness. We have never had any problems with it; it gets the job done.
Cons
It is not lead-free, which is a con as far as health goes.
Other Thoughts
You can't beat the volume discount...believe me, I've looked!
Pros
This saw cuts in any direction as claimed. The blades last for quite awhile and are real inexpensive to replace. Over all I'm quite happy with my purchase of this saw.
Cons
The chucks are made out of nylon and need to be tightened with care. you also need to make sure that the blades are seated properly in the chuck. It comes with an extra chuck but I would suggest that you get some spares which are very inexpensive.
Other Thoughts
Others have complained about the noise when using the saw but I don't think it is any worse than any power tool. As for the water that runs over the table, I found a tray like you get in a cafeteria and the saw in it to contain the water works great.
Pros
This is great for internally reinforcing larger glass pieces. It solders great in the foil lines.

Pros
fuses clear and clean, great for frit and powders.
Cons
would like to know the ratio of mixing enamels or powder frit. Have mixed 50/50, some comes out thick, some comes out runny. No real control. Good for abstract, but want to be able to do detail.
Other Thoughts
Needs instructions!
Pros
Makes your trusty old pliers like new again.
Cons
You'll think for a moment that they won't fit....but with some elbow grease, they will!

Deep navy blue color but still transparent to light.
Pros
Love the strip cutter - we use it all the time and it works great!!
Cons
The circle cutter is a bit harder to use, -it is NOT their Pro model, it takes a steady hand -but for us was just a 'bonus' to the strip cutter anyway!
Other Thoughts
If you want to do lots of circles, look at other products that are easier to use!
