Pros
"This thing is awesome", or so my wife says. I got it for her and she says it saves hers a ton of time. It is solidly built and very easy to use.
Cons
For my part, the only thing that I can see is that it is was built a little hastily in the factory. The details in how it was assembled were clearly ignored. (for example the top block is crocked and the particle board showing) It may effect its performance down the road but for now it is just cosmetic.

Other Thoughts
use with ivory to produce a reaction with the nile green. rich marbling effects are easy and do not require a reducing atmosphere. can be used with oxy/propane and a hot head/map gas.
Pros
This book is just as good (or better) as taking a class. Step-by-step instructions for all the basic bead-making skills are clear and easy to read with great photos. This book is truly the best book available about lampworking.
Cons
expensive

Pros
I used this to cut 7 ceramic tiles while remodeling my laundry room. You have to go slow but it was worth not having to buy a tile saw just for a couple of tiles. The saw handled it just fine.
Cons
Nothing I can think of
Other Thoughts
I haven't tried cutting anything else with it, so I am curious how sharp it will still be when I cut glass.
