- What can the Zephyr cut?
- Glass, mosaic tile and similar brittle material up to about 1-1/2 inches thick. The diamond ring blade cuts in any direction, including inside curves.
- Does it need a water supply?
- It is a wet-cutting saw, so the blade runs through a water bath. Expect to fill, drain and clean the reservoir around each session.
- How is it different from a band saw?
- A ring saw's blade cuts sideways as well as forward, so you can turn the work without rotating the whole piece. That makes inside cuts and tight curves easier.
- Is the built-in light useful?
- Yes. The gooseneck light points at the cut line, which owners say helps on marked glass. It is one of the features that separates it from unlit ring saws.
- How much space does it need?
- The saw is about 18 x 18 x 11 inches and weighs 18 lbs, so it fits on a sturdy bench. Leave room around the 17.5-inch work surface for large panels.
- What is the warranty?
- Gryphon covers it with a 3-year limited manufacturer's warranty. Keep your purchase record for any claim.
