This is the thinnest blade for the Taurus 3 and only cuts forwards and backwards. Its action is like that of a band saw, but infinitely better in that you rotate the material into the blade as you are cutting.
The blade can grind slightly left and right, and if you take your time, it will turn on a 10 cent piece, and enable you to cut very intricate designs once you get used to it. Be aware, however, that cutting from the sides will not only be very slow but will damage the grommets.
This blade was developed for slicing material quickly with a thin kerf (1 mm) and it is the blade recommended for use with the Super Slicer, (a jig for slicing pattern bars and rods into thin repeatable wafers). It has finer diamonds so the cut is even smoother than all the other blades except for the dichroic blade.
The blade shape is flat (.040 width x .150 length). The material thickness capacity is 3/4", with normal use being for slicing thin wafers in rods and patterns bars, or for scroll cutting of fused glass up to 3/8" thickness.
The average life span of the blade is 50-100 hours.
