Has anyone out there used a ring-blade saw?

Revolution XT

Looks kinda cool.
Like a wet band saw.

that looks pretty neat. Not sure I need yet another expensive tile saw though. I only have to do inside curves once or twice a year and spending the extra time to do it with a grinder is all right.

I use Caiman blades. Which are reliable and long lasting.

Harmon, what AaronM is talking about is a mini wet band saw.
I have looked at them, but they are expensive. I'm a big tool junkie and I won't ever buy one.
If you do a lot of intricate scroll work it might be worthwhile.

I bought a Gemini Taurus ring saw. Paid about $700 for it. Used it twice this year. Anyone want to buy a ring saw for $750?

It is good if you cut small pieces of glass or small mosaics that tend to get "eaten up" by a big wet saw. It is a cool tool. Looking back, not really sure why I bought one.
