Versatile Diamond Tile Saws.

The Taurus 3 Tile Shaper Ring Saw is a high-quality, tile saw that makes precision-cutting possible and easier. This is a tile shaper ring saw that enables you to make straight or curved cuts on tile and stone with ease. You can even use it handheld like a jigsaw for intricate cutting. This saw can cut forward or backward… even sideways because there is diamond on all sides of the blade! These special 6″ blades deliver at least the same life span as a 7″ tile blade at the same price. The difference is, these blades have no center, and are driven from the outside delivering several advantages:

1) The ability to make straight or curved cuts.
2) Easily slice off the edge of your material. The blade remains stable and rigid without wandering.
3) The diamond coating is all around and over the blade, making forward, backward and side cutting possible.
4) You can use the same blade for all materials. There is no need to change blades.
5) The diamond blade will never glaze over, so there is no need to ever dress the blade.

This tile saw runs whisper quiet and since the blade goes through a water bath it does not make a mess like traditional tile saws do. The saw easily detaches from the waterpan/base so you can run it handheld - just like it was a jigsaw.

Diamond Saw Blade Ratings.

Diamond saw blades cut everything from asphalt… to brick and block… to concrete… all the way up to fine, natural stones like granite and marble. They are without question the finest cutting tools available for heavy-duty use. Accordingly, all grades and types of diamond saw blades can be fairly expensive. The most important measure of a good diamond blade is its grade and blade life. A saw’s grade is an assigned rating that defines its use, most typically… rated by the number of times, and the cutting or grinding difficulty of what the blade is being used to cut. As an example, an economy-grade, diamond saw blade is probably only good for a couple of projects before it goes dull and requires sharpening. Standard-grade diamond blades are good for light to moderate use. If you intend to use diamond blades regularly or frequently, choose the premium and/or supreme-grade diamond saw blades. Saw blades rated under this label are excellent for everyday, frequent use with a long blade life, and are usually backed by longer warranties and service guarantees.
