Product Reviews
Pros
I purchased this saw when I first started doing glass fusing and draping. I absolutely love it. I just purchased a new one. It is my all time favorite. It cuts circles so easy, and so many other things that take no time at all. Anything you can think of it can cut it. Again I love this saw and all that it can do
Cons
No cons from me.

Cons
none
Other Thoughts
on the small side
Pros
Does exactly what you need it to, and what it is advertised to do. Couldn't ask for more.
Cons
My roll, so maybe not all, came cut a little funny, so there will little foil hairs coming off the side. Every so often I had to cut a chunk off where the cut split the foil.
Other Thoughts
All I've ever used, and all I'll probably ever use.
Pros
CBS Dichroic Extract makes wonderful solid colours when painted on enamel.
Cons
Once you buy one set, you'll want them all.
Other Thoughts
A little goes a long way to adding sparkle to your pieces.
Pros
I ordered two sets of these. Use them to elevate my jewelery molds with my top heating kiln. The 1/2" size is great as avoids tipping.
Cons
No Cons so far.
Other Thoughts
Can never have too many posts - this is a great addition to your kiln!
Pros
I use these for cutting stringers and glass rod. Works well. Wear glasses or goggles in case a few shards go flying. Wheels are sharp. Tool is easy to use
Cons
So far no cons.
Other Thoughts
Others warn re cutting thin glass. I have no opinion on this as I have not used this tool for that function. I am not into mosaics, so no thoughts for that issue either.
Pros
Great for 3D shaping for art work. Use to accent flowers or create butterfly wings. Love this mold
Cons
none
Other Thoughts
Coat with kiln wash and let your imagination soar.
Pros
These are my "go to" bevels for etched ornaments. Lighter weight (thinner) than the 3".
Cons
A few with flaws in every case.
Other Thoughts
Pros
These Fusible jump rings have saved me a lot of time. They are the perfect size and thickness and fuse nicely in jewelry and sun catchers. No more fumbling with high temp wire and jigs to make my own wires. I have used them recently in two different fusing classes with fusing novices and all the projects turned out great. They are easy to use. So happy I bought them.
Cons
none
Other Thoughts
Pros
This is still my favorite shelf paper. It provides the smoothest surface texture of all the products I've used and I've been fusing since the 80s. If I'm careful, sometimes I'm able to get a second firing out of it.
Cons
You do have to be very careful with clean up after it's used. I use a damp sponge to prevent it from getting in the air and use a respirator.
Other Thoughts
I wish it came in circles rather than square shapes, but I never waste the scraps. I use them for small jewelry items in my smaller kiln.
Pros
This mold can be used for a good variety of leaf types.
Cons
Veins near the stem tend not to fall where expected if slumping a large piece that has already been fused.
Other Thoughts
Pros
Quality & color are quite nice. The width of the groove is good for regular stained glass.
Cons
The groove is not wide enough for fused glass.
Other Thoughts
I wish they made a similar product with a 1/4 inch groove. A socket designed for a stronger light would be good, too.
Pros
convenient tool when grinding small, narrow pieces
Cons
Other Thoughts
a nice option if finger tips get sore from grinding many pieces of glass
Pros
I have used this type of grinder in college and it worked very well. So I wouldn't think of using a different one.
Cons
None yet.
Other Thoughts
Pros
Makes foiling faster and keeps it from tangling up. I can keep it center most of the time.
Cons
If I want to switch foil it is hard to get off without some of it unrolling, making it a pain.
Other Thoughts
To me this is not a hard machine to use, just takes practice.
Pros
Goes on smooth. Easy to work with.
Cons
Other Thoughts
Wouldn't get anything else.
Pros
This is a nice paw print for an accent or even a pendant.
Cons
These molds need careful application of kiln wash or B/N spray. I have had much more success using kiln wash.
Other Thoughts
Brush kiln wash out after 2 uses and reapply. This is a critical step. Also, be sure to make a bit of a well around the frit: mound the frit into the center of the mold. This will help prevent sticking to the mold.
Pros
Works for all my propping needs.
Cons
Careful not to get it hot, it smells bad.
