Gemini Standard Diamond Blade Kit for Taurus 3 and Apollo The Gemini Taurus 3 & Apollo Standard Blade Kit is perfect for cutting stained glass patterns and is an all-around multi-purpose cutting blade. Features The original replacement blade fits the Gemini Tile Shaper, Taurus 2, Taurus 3, and Apollo saws The omnidirectional blade can cut at the same speed and kerf in any direction The 360-degree diamond coating allows the blade to cut quickly while grinding the edge, leaving it smooth It comes with 2 orange grommets (part no.0485) Note: Do not use for ceramic tile, 3/8" fused glass pieces, or thick material in general How To Use All blades cut the same materials: glass, tile, stone, shell, nonferrous metals, hard 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 in a hurry will not only cause a slower cut but can also shorten the blade's life 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 at which you get maximum cutting speed for minimal pressure Gemini Taurus 3 Standard Blade Specifications Blade Shape Round, 0.072" Diameter(Note 1/16" is 0.063" and 1 mm is 0.0394") Material Thickness Capacity 3/8"1/8" art glass, 1/4" soft wall tile Grit Aggressive Average Blade Life 40-60 hours
