Pros
Released easily with MR97, five thin coats for the first application and three thereafter.
Make sure you fill the edges evenly. Used combo of medium and fine frit to fill the edges and broken up odd cuts. I already have orders from coworkers who really like this even if it is not slumped. Have created 6 castings so far and each has been great, no spurs. Provided fusing schedule has worked well.
Cons
None, good way to use up scraps!
Other Thoughts
Wish they had a larger version.
Pros
I love this mold. The shape of the hole lends itself to several creative alternatives for using this as a focal piece. I have never been disappointed by Delphi molds. I use MR97 and these pieces fall out of the mold after firing.

Can only miter in one direction. Need to flip piece over and remark to get cut in opposite direction. Used for ten year and motor finally burned out. Under powered and belt driven.

not really a con, but I do wish there was more room between the blade and motor it would make it easier to cut larger pieces.

I've been using the Taurus 3 for about 5 months I really love the saw; It's made a huge differance in my fused glass projects I now have more options for intricate cuts on a piece. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Taurus 3 saw.

Pros
Delphi M3900 double strength mirror glass is really nice to work with. Cuts cleanly without losing the mirror surface backing. So cleanly that you can cut the line the first time and avoid grinding most of the time. I combine it with Spectrum SilverCoat with dazzling results.

None

Be sure to seal the edges before wrapping with foil.
