I've had my ring saw for over 10 years, and use it ALOT! I've cut glass, tile, ceramic, different types of backing for mosaics, plus many others. I have never had an issue with it. Just remember to clean it, both blade and reservoir, after use, and it will serve you well. I love it! Many, many hours of use and still on original diamond bit blade. Also, let the saw do the work. Do not push material aggressively. Happy with my ring saw in Washington state, USA!
That's good to know, I do clean the reservoir out after every use and generally use distilled water. Mine hasn't had a lot of use but that's great that you have put through so many different materials. Thanks for watching and commenting. :)
Dianne l have no idea, l would think so but it would be more cost effective to buy a jigsaw rather than use such an expensive piece of equipment. 😊 Thanks for watching and commenting.
Curious if the blade got gunked full of material. I cannot imagine that the foam material would hurt the blade, but it may make it very messy. Thanks for showing us!!
I dint see anything and I wouldn't do it on a ongoing basis, running a piece of glass through at the end should help with that, thanks for watching and commenting. :)
Hi Peter I’m after the Admix you recommended to add to Laticrete Permacolour grout. ICAN only find it in big tubs do you have a source that sells smaller tubs or can I mix Ardex with Laticrete to make thinset? I’d appreciate your advice. Libby
I have been using the combination Laticrete Permacolour grout and Laticrete Admix for 10 plus years. I could buy it in the 5 liter containers and I am now facing the same dilemma and will probably buy the larger tub. It does have a very good shelf life of 5 years providing its stored correctly. I wouldn't substitute any products from another company because you can comprise the integrity. Thanks for watching and commenting. :)
I cannot see why not although it may blunt that blade quickly, I generally use a jigsaw which is a lot faster and I would think quicker than a scroll saw. Thanks for watching and commenting. :)
I have a Taurus ring saw I hardly ever use too - mainly because of the very little clearance it has and it’s too darned heavy for my wrists to use it manually. Of course it gives a nice smooth edge when you cut glass though so I imagine this must be its advantage with thermasheet too. But I’d never think to use the ring saw as ive always cut it by hand as it’s easy to cut - except for the curves you have with this S letter - so I can see cutting round those curves manually would be a pain. But a jigsaw would be my choice? Guess why? Because I get antsy when the blade of the ring saw falls off the belt and it’s a b$&&#*%!?€¥ to get back on. BTW your ring saw is much cleaner than mine. Need to dust it occasionally I guess 😝
I dont use my Taurus ring saw much either because I prefer to develop my skill level but there are times when they do come in handy. Personally I wouldnt be using it to cut Thermasheet letters, the ring saw is too expensive for that and like you a jigsaw would do just as good a job and cheaper to purchase. I always wash the reservoir out after every use, thats why its so clean and I generally use distilled water. I dread if the blade breaks or comes off the belt, it hasnt happened yet. I agree to use the saw manually is just to awkward and heavy but maybe someone out there has success in manually using it. Thanks for watching and commenting as always. :)
@@TreasuryRoad Last time the blade came off the belt it dinted it - so it was useless after that. Luckily I spent extra dosh when I bought it to ensure I had spare blade. I live in NSW but took it to my friend's husband in Canberra who has an egineering background. He fixed it. I hate having a bloke rescue me as I'm an independent sorta moll - but I was prostrate with gratitude on this occasion!

That was a good experiment. That's a nice tool. Thanks for the video!
Thanks so much Tonya, it came in quite handy for the backsplash, appreciate you commenting. :)
How wonderful! Would it work on cement sheet?

Could you use a scroll saw to do the same thing?
