Product Reviews
Pros
The width of the blade cut is perfect. This saw is a must-have if you want multiple pieces of glass cuts to match up perfectly (as in the lines of a sky or feathers.)
Cons
It’s finicky and requires precision tuning.
Other Thoughts
Replace those little screw with stainless screws. The ones used will rust and seize up.
Pros
Easy to cut. Large sheet allows for longer pieces for directional pattern.
Cons
This glass has a clear vertical pattern so keep this in mind for your project.
Other Thoughts
I used this glass as a background on a panel with a Stag deer standing in the woods with great results. It adds a pop of color and brought dimension to my piece. Loved the shuttle black striations.
Pros
Cuts beautifully, fits properly, plenty of diamond bits for long wear.
Cons
None

Pros
The quality of this solder shows in the finished work. You’d think that all solders would give the same end result, but I find this one flows and finishes better than others.
Cons
A little pricier than others.

Pros
Very easy to use, cut to size. Large size gives you several projects use. With plastic coated pattern under the mesh its very easy to align mosaic pieces without getting a wiggly pattern.
Cons
Be sure to cut the mesh along a straight line on all sides if that is what your design requires.
Other Thoughts
This mess allows one to obtain a straight line for tile placement. Place pattern (drawn in heavy marker) under plastic wrap, then place mesh on top. Tape all to piece of cardboard. Use small amounts of glue on tiles during assembly. Once all tiles have been placed cover project with a second cardboard, flip over and carefully lift mesh and tiles off the plastic wrap, let inverted mosaic dry upside down until ready to grout.
Pros
Easy to cut, beautiful deep orange with striations make this glass an eye dropping favorite. Large sheets allow for cutting larger pieces if patten flow is desired.
Cons
Other Thoughts
I used this Orange Pearl along with the Pink and Lavender version for a piece I entered in the AGF 2022 contest with winning results. The Oceanside line has allowed me to produced outstanding results with each of the variety of colors adding a vibrant effect in all of my projects.
Pros
brilliant cross bevel for sun catchers
Cons

Other Thoughts
love the light, love the water reservoir, love the speed
Pros
Cuts like butter and the color is very rich.
Cons
Need to cut as close to pattern as possible as sanding should be minimized.
Other Thoughts
The green, gold and copper color combination is very striking and adds a level of richness to my projects. I used this for a border on a large mosaic and it turned out fantastic, adding depth and richness to my piece. I have also used several other colors of the Van Gogh line with great success.
