Where is the water pump?

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.

When should I replace my wear parts?

The average life of the drive belt is two to three blades.

Do I have to use water with my Ring Saw?

Always use water.

What is the difference between a Ring Saw and a reciprocating saw?

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.

What is the difference between a Ring Saw and a band saw?

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.

Does a center keel come with the reconditioned revolution xt saw?

Is Gemini revolution XT tile saw is recommended for heavy use for the marble factory to be used daily?

This is a skill saw that is not designed for heavy use.

1. It appears that there is a large working surface but I am not able to determine how much length there is before the piece is obstructed by the saw head. I own Tauras 3 and my complaint is that I am always having to back up in the middle of a cut. Does this saw have a similar problem?
2. Is the throat deep enough to saw a wine bottle? Is it adjustable?
3. Is the speed adjustable?

Both the Apollo and Revolution have stabilizing arms that may get in the way when cutting a wine bottle on its longest axis. Depending on the diameter of the bottles, you may have similar restraints that you encountered with the Taurus.

The stabilizer is removable, but it is not recommended to operate the saw without the top stabilizer.

The blade speed is not adjustable.

Does the sliding tray come with the Saw?

The sliding tray is sold separately from the saw and can be found here.

So the Revolution and the Apollo aren't for production /heavy use. What saw would be good for this?

That's correct. The Gemini line of saws is designed for more intricate curve cutting for decorative pieces. For intensive tile cutting, we recommend a 10" tile saw with a sliding tray and a continuous rim diamond blade (non-ring saw blade).
