Gemini Ring Saw FAQ
A: There is no pump with a ring saw. Because the belt that drives the blade also picks up and delivers water to the cut, there is no need for one. Q: What is a Ring Saw? A: A Ring Saw is a unique, patented saw, combining the best qualities of a band saw and radial saw. Q: What does the Ring Saw cut? A: The Ring Saw will cut any hard material including stone, granite, marble, glass, shell, non ferrous metals, acrylic, and plexiglass. Q: How can diamond blades cut hard materials but do not cut skin? A: Skin bounces off of the diamond's riding over the bumps, but hard materials can not bounce so they get cut. Q: What is the difference between a Ring Saw and a band saw? A: Ring Saw's spin in a perfect circle and cut in all directions. Band saws travel in an ellipse, can cut basically forward like a polliwog travels. Q: What is the difference between a Ring Saw and a reciprocating saw? A: Ring Saws cut while spinning in a perfect circle, so there is little or no vibration while cutting. Jig saws vibrate cut on the up stroke causing delicate pieces to break and wear out much more quickly than Ring Saws. Q: Do I have to use water with my Ring Saw? A: Always use water. Q: When should I replace my wear parts? A: The average life of the drive belt is two to three blades. The ring blades are very similar to the solid blades you will find on most wet saws. The difference is that our blades have no center, giving you the ability to not only cut straight lines but also make tight radius cuts. Because we run our blades at a much slower R.P.M. than the average wet saw but with far more torque, they give the user a much higher quality cut with far less chipping and in some cases superior blade life. |

This saw is not meant for everyday / all day cutting, this saw should primarily be used for making specialty cuts or one offs.
Do you sell the assembly device with the ring blade for this saw? If so, what is the cost and how do I order?

I am really interested in the Gemini Apollo Saw but confused a bit about some of the blades I would need. What approximate thickness of glass will the blades I listed below cut? I do fused glass and my pieces can vary from 2mm-12mm.

You will always want a "fine" blade when cutting glass.
Both style of blade can cut a variety of material thicknesses. The rigid blade is ideal for straight cutting while the double-sided blade is ideal for curve cutting and reverse cutting.
