Smooth Rolling Supercutter Replacement Head by glassheartofvt2909200721 on July 30, 2013 5 stars
Pros
I've had my Toyo cutter for 6 years and love it! It is comfortable and sturdy. I've replaced the head twice and the replacements have functioned equally well.

Taurus 3 Ring Saw by olsensreva0803180619 on July 30, 2013 5 stars
Pros
I love my Taurus 3 Ring Saw! I've had it for about 3 years & use it for intricate cuts that I cannot accomplish with my cutter. The learning dvd is a hoot & full of helpful tips. Maintenance has been easy & it does not take up a lot of room on my bench. Great tool for stained glass!

I bought one of these to replace the shelf that came with my kiln - which was uneven. This one was smooth and even.
Cons
None

Studio Pro Brass Glass Cutter by spraydm (top contributor) on July 30, 2013 5 stars
Pros
This is a very smooth cutter, and is really great for free-form cutting.
Cons
I had to get used to the spring action - press down before starting your cut.

Bullseye GlasTac Firing Glue - 4 oz by spraydm (top contributor) on July 30, 2013 4 stars
Pros
This glue dries nice and clear and leave absolutely no residue. The slow drying allows you to reposition, which can be critical to your design.
Cons
It does dry slowly, so you have to leave it and come back much later before trying to move it.

Silberschnitt Pro Circle Cutter by spraydm (top contributor) on July 30, 2013 5 stars
Pros
This is easy to use and makes GREAT cuts. Very smooth to operate.
Cons
You just have to make sure the center suction is firmly sealed to the glass, so always check that before starting your cut.

Easy-Cut Lens Cutter by spraydm (top contributor) on July 30, 2013 4 stars
Pros
I bought this and the handle broke. Delphi put me in touch with the supplier and they sent a replacement immediately. I haven't had any trouble since. Overall a very good product - I don't see anything better on the market.
Cons
The blade does slip from time to time, but as others here said, just check it before each cut to make sure it is tightened. Add a non-slip surface to hold the glass still - that's a no-brainer. It cuts circles well, but the smaller you go the harder it is to get a clean cut. Use breaking pliers to remove uneven bits, rather than a nipper.

Heart Fusible Pre-Cut Assortment 6 Pack - 90 COE by spraydm (top contributor) on July 30, 2013 5 stars
Pros
I had some molds and used to try to get nice hearts - with mixed results. I like buying these because they are thinner than the mold ones and they keep their perfect shapes in a tack fuse. They may cost more, but I lost a lot of glass in the imperfect mold process.
Cons
Limited in color options, blue would be a nice addition. Would love to see dichroic and iridescent.

Ponytail Holders - 5 Pack by spraydm (top contributor) on July 30, 2013 5 stars
Pros
Everyone loves how my glass looks on these sturdy, beautiful holders. I use E6000 glue and they have never come off. Delphi is the only place I can find them.
Cons
None

Stainless Steel Versatile Slumping Mold by spraydm (top contributor) on July 30, 2013 5 stars
Pros
I use these to slump barrettes, and I make them in several sizes. Each size has a different curve, and although it's pretty easy to adjust, it was time consuming. To save time I bought extras and set them up for the various sizes, because they aren't that expensive. Time is money! I also use Thinfire Shelf Paper rather than kiln wash.
Cons
None

Delphi Studio Essential Casting Mold by sherryl on July 30, 2013 4 stars
Pros
Extremely useful mold to make jewelry quick. Makes it easy to turn out several items in a short time. Really liked the different shapes in one mold.
Cons
Non that I can think of.
Other Thoughts
I bought two so I could fuse more at the same time.

Waffle Grid Work Surface - 2 Pack by delphi on July 30, 2013 4 stars
Pros
Great for small work spaces. Catches all of those tiny shards. Easy to use and clean up.
Cons
None yet
Other Thoughts
I have 2 separate work stations set up both have these surfaces. I'm thinking of purchasing a circle cutter for a 3rd station and you can bet these will be a part of it.

1/4" Silver Backed Foil - 1.2 mil by GlassbyJill on July 30, 2013 4 stars
Pros
This is my favorite width of foil to use for most of my stained glass. The adhesive on the foil worked well and soldering was fine, I use liquid flux. I kept the foil in a zip-lock bag until next use and the foil kept well. I have used it before with great results. Best example was when someone dropped a window I had made for them because they wanted to see if I would fix it. Although I was very sad that all my work was ruined, I noticed that all the seams with this foil held really well. None of the glass pulled out of the foil, the damage was the actual broken glass. It was quite a testament to the foil product's adhesive.
Cons
I can't think of any. The edges of the glass need to be really clean and dry before you use this product, but that is true with any product.

Glastar Foiling Machine by delphi on July 30, 2013 4 stars
Pros
Fantastic machine, fairly priced, huge time saver.
Cons
Took a bit of getting used to, but once you do you'll fall in love.
Other Thoughts
I wasn't sure about this at first, I am new to stained glass and at first this seemed like just an extra step to figure out. Once I did figure it out however, it saved me a lot of time and my foiling is much straighter and more even on the glass without thinking. I love this machine.

Cutter's Mate Mini Extra Starter Kit by delphi on July 30, 2013 5 stars
Pros
Purchased this in April, it's been a life saver! I have a great deal of trouble with my wrists and had trouble with the standard pistol glass cutters. With the cutters mate mini I can cut almost anything with ease!
Cons
Still haven't found any cons
Other Thoughts
I have to add, the folks at Delphi glass never cease to surprise me. Top notch customer service! A simple mix up on the web site and they called to confirm. Any issues I've had they have made quick work of getting things right.
