Taurus 3 Standard Blade Kit

Product Description

Replacement Blade Kit for the Taurus 3 Ring Saw, comes with a standard blade, grommets to keep the blade in place, and directions. Stained glass pattern and all around multi-purpose cutting blade. Its action is omni-directional. This is to say that it cuts the same speed and kerf, (swath left by the blade), in any direction. This blade was the first blade to be put on saws and makes pattern cutting very easy because the user does not have to turn the piece while cutting but simply move it in any direction.

• Grit is aggressive.
• Material Thickness Capacity: 3/8″, normal use is 1/8″ art glass, 1/4″ soft wall tile.

There are universal truths about all of the blades that hold true for all of them:

1. All blades cut the same materials: glass, tile, stone, shell, nonferrous metals, hard plastics such as acrylic and lexan, and anything that has a similar density to these materials.
2. All blades use the same belt and grommets. Blades are interchangeable with the same belt and grommets and do not need to be changed unless they are excessively worn.
3. Always let the blade do the cutting. Forcing the blade through the material in a hurry will not only cause a slower cut but can also shorten the blade life. There is an optimum speed for each blade in each material; you can feel it while you are cutting. Sensitivity to this causes extremely long blade life Defined it is that point at which you get maximum cutting speed for minimal pressure.
