This sounds absolutely stupid, but you saved my hobby-life. I have severe carpal tunnel in my hands, and have not been able to cut my stained glass for years. We're talking multiple surgeries and tons of therapy for it. My hands shake and I can't get a good grip on my cutters anymore. Someone recommended this ring saw, and this tutorial went through absolutely everything!!! Thank you so much! I can finally start cutting again. I really appreciate it. I've been looking for something like this and a tutorial for it for like 2 decades. I'm so happy I found this video.
This is one of the most informative, thorough and entertaining information-training videos I've ever viewed. When I started watching, I was only interested in what a ring saw is/does. After watching, I want to own one. Absolutely excellent presentation of this product and its accessories. NICELY DONE!!!
I have had this saw for over 6 years, love it for cutting intricate shapes. I am going over it for maintenance and replacing some pieces that are showing ware. I watched this entire video and had NO IDEA all the “other features “ it could do! Wow! Beveled edges, circles, thin cuts on murrini... too many to name. If you are on the fence about buying this, don’t be, it’s well worth the price and a great addition to my fused glass shop.
This is great! Now I'm even more excited about my new saw and was entertained in the process! Thanks for making a potentially dry subject fun to watch.
Our Glass and Mosaics Group, here in New Zealand purchased the Taurus Saw 3 approximately three years ago following the recommendation of a person who had one. Absolutely no regrets once we put the student/mega blade on. As you may imagine we have all levels of expertise and are all still learning how to get the best out of this machine. The instruction video - superb and witty!
This was so fun to watch! I did FF through a couple of the longer cuts, but otherwise, I can't believe I watched the WHOLE THING!!! :) Thank you for a great video! I believe this is the saw for me!
It’s important to note that you have to krazy glue your orange grommets if you have the black plastic inserts for them or you’re never going to be able to use the saw as they will slide out of place and break blade after blade after blade….
QUESTION: I bought the Taurus Ring Saw 2 months ago. I already have to change the blade that came with it. Is this normal? I thought I was letting the blade do the work. Am I pushing the glass in too hard? I thought the blades would last longer. Thank you.
Should the foot be loosened for regular (non-handheld) use so that it self-adjusts to the thickness of the glass? My foot came screwed on really tight. Also: Why did Gemini do away with the water level markings on the newer tubs? Mine didn't come with any and once I put the water in to match 1/2-way up the lowest blue wheel, I'll have to use a permanent marker to make my own water level indicator on the tub.
I thought this video showed somewhere that you can touch the blade and it won't cut your finger, and I would need to show that part at work, but I just cannot find it now. Can anyone help? Thanks!
Question. The current grommets don't seem to have a rounded & flat side (just got a new blade & grommets), they are flat on both sides. So guessing flat side can ve up or down. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks.
I have thick Mexican ceramic tiles...can I keep the same cutting saw in or do I have to change it? HELP! I don't know what I'm doing....don't want to botch it up.
So, after watching this video, I thought it was simple to change my broken blade. I followed it to a tee. However, upon first use, one of my red grommets popped off. The video says put one forward and one backwards. My flange is black plastic, not shiny metal like this one. It seems, there is nothing to hold the red grommet in place on the flange!! So, I flipped it around, so both are facing the same direction and it now works. There is also not a flat vs rounded side to the red grommet - both sides are flat. In conclusion, I bought my saw in 2013, but the grommets were bought in 2016. So, did I get old parts, newer parts, I don't know - but they don't match this 2015 video.
I think it's a good idea to take photos of the inner workings with a cell phone before dismantling it to replace parts. That way, you can reference the photo to know what it looked like before.
This is a very vital video to run my machine, even though his humor is great, a more to the point or “simplistic” video would be helpful. I view this video many times a week and have to skip around to find the informative pieces I need. I would love to create a video for you that is more “to the point” if you would like to use me as the instructor/model.
I changed the gromets and was about to replace the blade but inspected the belt and his worn down to the Kevlar/copper this suggests that is why the blade snapped as it must have slipped in the belt! suggesting that this machine is not industrial enough for our moderate use, but more of a toy or that the parts are made of substandard material...be warned and be careful
Hi this is great video explanation BUT! we have only been using the ringsaw since January and today the blade snapped huting my colleague, so I changed the gromets and was about to change the blade but notice the Kevlar/copper are already showing through...I am thinking that this machine is not industrial enough for proper use but more of a toy, perhaps with parts not as good as they may been in the past. 3 moths of moderate use use and the parts have disintegrated

Wonderful! I just bought my Taurus 3 and am itching to use it! Not so daunting after seeing this informative and entertaining video!
Received the Gemini Taurus 3 this year for Christmas. This video was very informative and fun to watch. Looking forward to putting it to good use.
I’M SOLD! been wondering if something like this existed for a couple years bc I suck at circles 😅 thank you for making this fun to watch
I don't own a Ringsaw... but this is brilliant viewing! Well done folks!👏👏👏👏
This was a most enlightening and happy music and amusing video… i just bought this product after watching what it can do!!
Thx
Best info video ever. Every thought or question I had was answered 5 seconds later!
Great video. Came to learn about the machine but this made me want it even more.
This is such a charming, fun and very informative tutorial!! I already have a Taurus but I will take bette care of it now! :)
Best instructional video ever!
This was so fun to watch! I did FF through a couple of the longer cuts, but otherwise, I can't believe I watched the WHOLE THING!!! :) Thank you for a great video! I believe this is the saw for me!
Shawn you were very entertaining and awesome. Wow! I sure learned a lot. Ty.
i like to freeze a small plastic bottle of water to put in the water tub and keep my saw cool while I'm using it. I love my ring saw.
Loved the video you did a great job. Was so entertaining and learned a lot. Any more videos?
OMG this is a great video! Very helpful and informative as well as amusing. I’m going to buy this unit!
Merci beaucoup, votre démo me simplifie la vie ! j'apprécie beaucoup d'utiliser ma Taurus.
Excellent presentation

Best. Video. Ever!
Love your video !!
Good job thanks for the vid guys that was very helpful
Gracias magnífica demostración de uso y mantenimiento de ya taurus 3 👍☺️
I LOVE this guy!!
Awesome 👏 information thank you.
Now lets see you foil that maple leaf!
I was wondering the same thing. I think it would be better used in a mosaic with grout.
Probably used for fused glass, not stained
I inherited this from a deceased person who used to do stained glass with it.
these groove grommets look nothing like the ones on my T3 Ring Saw. My blade keeps sliding off and I can't get it fixed.
Mine too did you get a solution
Can I take the guide off to cute a thicker tile?
Super Cute!!
Good one thank's
thank you
Hi! What’s your favorite rubber cement to use??? Can the paper be easily removed after cementing? Thanks!

Hi My name is Dermot and i live in Ireland a= i am trying to find out
if the "TAURUS 3" can cut "natural slate"
A bit of a late reply, but yes it can. Just be sure to change the water very frequently as slate particles build up quickly.
I thought this video showed somewhere that you can touch the blade and it won't cut your finger, and I would need to show that part at work, but I just cannot find it now. Can anyone help? Thanks!

BAHHH HUMBUG ! 🙁
what do you do when the spring tension has no more tension?
I'm having the same problem. The spring arm makes contact with the housing. The belt and blade is constantly falling off. Very frustrating!
Can you use this in a kitchen area?
Onde encontrar o EQUIPAMENTO, preço.
Hola, dónde se puede comprar ?
My saw sprays water while using?
Is this saw appropriate to use to cut pizza smalti?

No need for a breathing mask?
Doris b yes, there is a need...
This would of been so much better without the stupid jokes...why did yo do that? This is suppose to be informative, not a joke.
