Gryphon Zephyr Ring Saw

Any other items in the order will be shipped separately, and will have shipping applied

The Gryphon Zephyr Diamond Ring Saw offers advantages not found in other glass saws:

• the round blade is omni-directional (can cut in any direction)
• operation is very smooth and quiet
• large work surface that is free of obstructions
• the overhead blade support is slender, allowing the artist to have a very clear view of the material as it is cut
• has a deeper throat and more clearance for the glass than other consumer glass saws
• has a secondary water reservoir for use in hand-held mode. Please read instruction manual carefully when coverting between hand-=held and platform modes.
• will cut glass, tile, rock and all other similar hard materials.
  • Select the blade that is best suited to your current application
  • When using other materials, it is advisable to clean the diamond blade with the Gryphon Dressing Stone.
• A separating blade that will allow you to make inside cuts without requiring a lead-in slot is also available. Merlin Mosaica is hoping to offer these in the near future.
• ships with a second blade and a set of guide wheel replacement rubber inserts

Special attention has been given to designing the saw for quiet operation and for low maintenance. The critical moving parts are shielded to minimize the abuse from the glass dust that is generated when cutting. The highest quality bearings and wheels are used to extend the life of these critical parts.

The motor/blade assembly is a separate unit that can be removed from the base and used as a hand-held saw. This is useful for cutting items that cannot easily be brought to the table. A small water reservoir is built into the blade assembly housing and will hold enough water for a few minutes of hand-held cutting. When the saw is used in the normal configuration (installed in the base), the base will hold enough water for several hours of cutting.

• Quiet operation
• Large 444mm square work surface
• 170mm throat clearance
• 138mm height clearance
• Long lasting bearings and wheels
• Water Level clearly marked
• When used as hand held, not necessary to attach separate housing cover
• Convenient finger grip for hand held operation
• Australian compliant plug, 240v
• 12 month Warranty

Note:

• Always use with the face shield installed. It acts to hold the blade casing together firmly. Flip up if you prefer not to use it.
• Let the saw do the work and do not force or put pressure on the glass as you are cutting, as this exerts pressure on the blade, and you may experience more frequent blade breakages.
• The water reservoir should be emptied when not in use.
• If in a hard water area, consider using distilled water.
