Cutting Other Materials - Gemini Saw Company Taurus Ring Saw Manual

The Taurus will cut all kinds of materials. These materials will not load
the blade, they include but are not limited to tile, gold (which can be refined
out of the water bath), silver, brass, bronze, aluminum, stainless steel, copper
and plastics such as lucite, plexiglass, composites and all types of stone.
The Taurus can be used as a high speed coping saw and will greatly reduce
you metal cutting time. Slight loading can occur with aluminum over a
period of time. Periodic cutting on a piece of brick will remove it from the
blade.
When cutting thin metals it is best to put a backing under the metal so that
the burrs created by the saw action will not catch on the work surface. This
material can be the kind of cardboard found on the back of a writing pad.
Another backing that works well is foam core (white), which can be found at
artists supply stores everywhere. The blade of the Taurus will not be
effected by any material you choose as a backing because it cuts plastics as
well as metals and will not load on these either.
When removing the blade from a cut where you are not separating two
pieces so that you must find your way out of a maze it is sometimes a good
idea to leave the saw running, as this will help it slip through easier.
