I don’t care for lead free but when I’m making jewelry this definitely gets the job done.
Pros
This machine has never let me down.
Cons
Other Thoughts
I bought this grinder as part of my start up kit. I’ve never had an issue. I just replaced the grid after years of use. Really the best grinder I’ve ever used.
Pros
Able to tolerate a couple of firings. Easy to cut with minimal residue on glass
Cons
Other Thoughts
Works great for all glass projects.
Pros
Beautiful colors. Easy to cut and decorate.
Cons
Wish the glass packs came in larger sizes.
Other Thoughts
Happy oceanside is making this glass. It fuses nicely!!
Pros
Still thin enough to shape with candle. Makes nice outline on projects!
Cons
Score to break, unless it breaks into many pieces.
Other Thoughts
Great assortment of colors!
Pros
This was a great way to put that finishing touch on a fused glass project. It's also easier to attach a hanging mechanism to the wood.

Pros
Recycle bottles for the good of the planet. Easy to use. The pattern that people seem to like the most.
Cons
Some separator residue left in swirl, but it can be scrubbed out.
Other Thoughts
Pros
Easy to use, Versatile, Precise, Lightweight, Makes quick work most any cut, and of ultra tough cuts (I still love and prefer to hand-cut, but I got this specifically for big, super severe cuts, so I could keep my designs exactly how I wanted them, and also not have the stress of potentially shattering a larger piece just because of my creative stubbornness), Cuts through other materials like metal for frames and wood (of certain thickness), Great for sparking imagination, Saves glass!
Cons
Plastic outer components (but that does make sense, metal would very heavy, and probably even more expensive, I just wish it felt a little studier for the price), Pattern lines 'wash' off without specific application, Can get pretty messy, Takes a good while to get used to - it doesn't have the feel of a grinder or a typical saw, so you have to really get the feel for it, You'll still need to run most pieces through a grinder (at least some edges, in my experience), Can snap off small corners if you're not very careful and learn how to maneuver it properly, Makes me feel like I'm "cheating" in the glass cutting process, hahaha
Other Thoughts
Okay, so, it definitely has its cons, HOWEVER, I still love my ring saw! I definitely recommend a few things - get a foot pedal to attach to the power cord so you can control the saw! It made a huge difference in precision. Also, use a GOLD Sharpie to mark your patterns, since they act like paint markers, THEN leave your pattern piece in place until the gold ink dries, or set the piece back down, and outline it again over the gold ink with a black fine tip Sharpie. I know that seems like a pain, but it's worth it. It's the only way, so far, that I've figured out how to keep pattern lines from flooding off the glass, because the saw can create quite a bit of backsplash. The black fine line give you the precise place to follow next to, the gold makes it visible and helps it stick. Remember, the saw blades cuts OUT and removes a line of glass the width of the saw blade, unlike hand-cutting, which doesn't remove any glass. Other than that, practice and experiment! It's worth it. :)
Pros
Beautiful and eye catching cane
Cons
Very short
Other Thoughts
This coe 96 cane is very pretty and will add to any piece. Please read the dimensions carefully as they are short and not many in a package. Beautiful cane though.
Pros
Polishes beautifully without leaving a film.
Cons
Very runny.
Other Thoughts
This is a great polishing cream to finish out stained glass. It is a little more runny than I would like but does a great job.
Pros
Pot melts fit perfectly and holds up well to firings.
Cons
None
Other Thoughts
I didn’t read the information before buying and thought this was a slumping mold. I used it as a drop mold and made a weird shaped bowl. We made a wooden stand for it and turned it into a beautiful chip and dip or snack tray. It also works perfectly as intended to hold pot melts.
Pros
These pieces fit well together without any chips.
Cons
This is not 3D but a flat star
Other Thoughts
I made three as gifts. I expected a 3D project but they are still beautiful as a flat star.
Pros
Pieces fit together well. No chips. Beautiful piece.
Cons
No cons.
Other Thoughts
I made two for gifts and our mothers loved them.
Pros
Love the “water glass” look of these transparent tiles
Cons
Other Thoughts
Pros
Works great. Glass releases.
Cons
The can stopped spraying.
