A: There is no pump with a ring saw. Because the belt that drives the blade also picks up and delivers water to the cut, one is unnecessary. Q: What is a Ring Saw? A: A Ring Saw is a unique, patented saw that combines the best qualities of a band saw and radial saw. Q: What does the Ring Saw cut? A: The Ring Saw can cut any hard material, including stone, granite, marble, glass, shell, nonferrous metals, acrylic, and plexiglass. Q: How can diamond blades cut hard materials but not cut skin? A: Skin bounces off the diamonds riding over the bumps, but hard materials can not bounce, so they get cut. Q: What is the difference between a Ring Saw and a band saw? A: Ring saws spin in a perfect circle and cut in all directions. Band saws travel in an ellipse and can cut basically forward like a polliwog. Q: What is the difference between a Ring Saw and a reciprocating saw? A: Ring Saws cut while spinning in a perfect circle, so there is little or no vibration while cutting. Jig saws vibrate cut on the up stroke, causing delicate pieces to break and wear out much faster than Ring Saws. Q: Do I have to use water with my Ring Saw? A: Always use water. Q: When should I replace my worn parts? A: The average life of the drive belt is two to three blades. The ring blades are similar to the solid blades on most wet saws. The difference is that our blades have no center, giving you the ability to cut not only straight lines but also tight radius cuts. Because we run our blades at a much slower R.P.M. than the average wet saw but with far more torque, they give the user a much higher-quality cut with far less chipping and, in some cases, superior blade life.
