A Little About The Saw - Gemini Saw Company Taurus Ring Saw Manual

The ring saw is a completely unique machine and its operation is very
different than any other machine. For this reason persons who have been
using band saws tend to lead the material into the front of the saw blade
and rotate the material to make a curved cut. All cuts on the Taurus Ring
Saw can be made by moving the material forward, backward, left and right
so rotation is not necessary. Diagonal directions are the strongest.
Ice can be used with the Taurus, ice packs or "blue ice" is safer and also
lasts much longer. This is useful as cold-water works wonders for blade
life and cutting speed, but is not necessary unless the saw is being used for
periods of fifteen minutes or more. Sporadic use for one minute or less for
example will not build up enough heat to warrant ice.
Coolant is not necessary for the Taurus as it moves enough water
through the cut to make it the coolest cutting saw on the market today.
