I too have hard/calcium water, I've found putting a small cap full of apple cider vinegar in every new pan fill and I've never had any limescale buildup in/on my saw. It's 3 years old to date, but my light stopped working within a few months new... A small dab of Vaseline keeps my sharpie lines from washing off while cutting. Love your instructions. Hope you have a great day, Thanks!
Thanks, adding vinegar to the water sounds like a great idea! Those mirrored glass pieces (which I'm still cutting) hold the sharpie line with no additional help but I'll try the vaseline idea for future cuts!
Been thinking about a ring saw but wasn't sure how much I would use it. I just did a piece that I really could have used it to get better detail. I will go back and check out the older video. Thanks.
if you pore a little skin-so-soft or water based lubricant in with your water, the glass and stone dust will be much easier to clean off the plastic. Or you can spray down the plastic with silicone spray before you start using it.
if you do a google search for taurus 3 ring saw, you should be able to find several sources. This is a tool of last resort. You don't need to buy one until you have all the other tools and you've had a lot of practice.
@@GommStainedGlass Much slower than I expected. I rarely use it and tend to avoid it. I learned a lot from your video and the time you took to cut your pieces. Thank you for sharing your wisdom 💜.
It varies, sometimes they last a long time and then occasionally they break quickly. They best trick for getting them to last is to manually turn the ring several inches if it's been sitting for a day or more. This helps loosen up the belt.
thank you from Bacharach!
You bet, we hope you are well!!

A ring saw is a luxury that you don't NEED but you'll be glad to have one if you do.
So glad to see what to do when it stops like that. Haven’t had that happen yet but now I’m prepared.
It's rare, I was cutting sideways and just go too aggressive.

That would work, we'll give it a try!

Years Of Use!!!
Never seen that kind of glass before ,
Our client wanted mirrored glass and sourced it online. Rough glass to cut out!
Love my first gen Ring saw 2
Love to hear it..you could probably give us some tips!
I had purchased a gryphon saw, the purple one. I soo wish I had gotten the Taurus Ring Saw.
I thought the gryphon saw looked pretty good, how well does it work?

How long do the ring saw blades last for you?

I use white vinegar and baking soda,then let it sit after it stops foaming.
Yep, it works, now if those elves would clean up for me while I sleep........😴😴😴
