I am looking for something to help me cut bottles (wine bottles, booze bottles, etc.). Would using this allow me to cut bottles in half by itself?

No, we would not recommend using this saw to cut glass bottles.The 1100 Apollo Ring Saw would be the recommended saw to use to cut all kinds of bottles with the double sided sintered fine blade Y0736 or the fine Rigid blade Y0734.

Will this saw cut plate glass ?

This unit can cut plate glass that does not exceed 1/4" thick. If you are looking for straight lines or shapes, we would recommend either the mega or slicer blade. If you are looking for more eccentric cuts, we recommend using the standard or fine blade.

I have a Taurus Ring Saw but I’m having difficulty with the blade coming off track. Is it possible for the saw to be sent in for diagnosis of the problem and repair?

Repairs are handled by Gemini Saw Company directly. Please contact them at 310-891-0288 and ask for Barbara. She will assist you in the repair process.

You can cut sea glass using the Taurus 3 saw with the Slicer Blade . If you are doing intricate cuts, the glass shouldnt be more than 3/8" thick.

I'm cutting 3/8" thick mosaic Travertine marble for a back splash on my tub saw and having a hard time with the marble chipping, will the Taurus 3 work on this brittle marble without chipping???? Note: the pieces are diamond shape and the chipping occurs at the corners.

We cannot say for certain how the Gemini Taurus 3 will perform for your application. The Taurus 3 is great for delicate, intricate cuts so it may likely perform well for your task. The trick would to cut as slowly and steadily as possible to minimize the potential for chipping.

What is the max. thickness of granite the Gemini Taurus can cut?

The stock Mega Blade can cut granite up to 3/4" thick, however, you may have to remove the saws stabilizer foot to utilize the full 3/4" cutting capacity.

How can I tell which model I have? I need a complete rebuild kit because all the rubber wheels have all designated. My ring appears ok. The machine is over 10 years old. I only cut stained glass with it. Which kit should I order?

If the basin of your unit is red then you have a Taurus 3. If the basin of your unit is grey then you would have the Taurus 2. The rebuild kit for these units can be found HERE .

Does this machine cut ceramic tiles 4mm to 5mm thick? I'm very keen on getting one and have watched a video using the mega blade to cut stone and granite. I just want to mostly cut ceramic wall tiles. Cheers

Can this saw be used to cut Crystal Quartz or Carborundum (ie. Ruby or Sapphire)?

The diamond blade can likely cut just about any hard material. The blade has to do more work as the material hardness increases, which slows down the rate of cutting. In short-- Yes it will cut ruby, but it will be at a slow rate and the cut edge is susceptible to chipping while being cut.

The saw cuts great but the edges are rougher than I expected. The face is a ground edge but the edges are chipped and not smooth. Is there any fix for this?

The Gemini Taurus saw that we offer comes standard with the Mega Blade, this blade is able to cut through many materials however it may be too aggressive for some softer materials. I would recommend trying the standard blade or you can call Gemini saw customer support 310 891-0288 .

Can the stabilizer foot assembly be removed to provide a greater throat height? If so, what would then be the maximum throat?

We do not recommend the Gemini Taurus 3 Ring Saw for thicker material. It works best with thin stained glass and soft tile. When cutting thicker material or harder material like porcelain the blade has a tendency to cut through the belt. A better option would be the Gemini Apollo or Gemini Revolution XT ring saw.

How thick a material can you cut? Most tiles are 1/4 inch or less. Can you cut 1 inch thick material?

The Gemini Taurus 3 Tile Shaper Ring Saw is designed for thin material like stain glass and soft tile. If you try cut porcelain the blade will cut through the drive belt. The Gemini Revolution XT is the best option for thick material and porcelain.

Does this saw come with a water pump?

No this saw does not use a water pump instead the water is picked up by the blade from the basin.

Taurus 3 Blades

All blades cut the same materials: glass, tile, stone, shell, nonferrous metals, rigid plastics such as acrylic and lexan, and anything that has a similar density to these materials
All blades use the same belt and grommets. Blades are interchangeable with the same belt and grommets and do not need to be changed unless they are excessively worn
Always let the blade do the cutting. Forcing the blade through the material can damage it. There is an optimum speed for each blade in each material; you can feel it while cutting. Sensitivity to this causes exceptionally long blade life
