Which is better for stained glass?

The Gryphon Zephyr. Its 7-inch ring blade cuts in any direction and leaves a smooth edge, and its 6 5/8-inch throat and 17.5-inch table are sized for glass. The ArbDicco is a 16-inch masonry saw.

Which cuts concrete or block?

The ArbDicco. Its 3200 W motor and 16-inch blade are built for masonry, and it has water-fed dust control. The Zephyr's 248 W motor is not made for that work.

Is the ArbDicco worth the extra power?

Only if you cut masonry. For glass, tile, and rock, the Zephyr's lower power is matched to the job, and its deep throat and hand-held mode matter more than watts.

Can the Gryphon Zephyr be used hand-held?

Yes. The motor and blade assembly lifts out of the base, and a small reservoir in the housing holds enough water for a few minutes of hand-held cutting.

The Zephyr carries a 3-year warranty that excludes normal wear parts, and its moving parts are shielded from glass dust. No warranty or service life is stated for the ArbDicco.
