The Taurus 3 incorporates many new capabilities most of which have come from listening to you, our customers. We believe you will find these machines easy and fun to work with.
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.***
Key Features:
Omnidirectional cutting: The ring blade cuts in any direction with equal efficiency—ideal for intricate curves and detailed patterns.
Convertible to handheld: Easily transforms into a portable saw for on-site or mobile cutting.
Water-cooled system: Built-in recirculating water reservoir keeps the blade cool and suppresses dust for cleaner operation.
Low-noise motor: Operates quietly, making it suitable for home studios, classrooms, and professional environments.
Safety-first design: Fully enclosed blade, splash guard, and protective guide fence offer safe and stable operation.
Tool-free blade changes: Switch between different blade types quickly and easily for various materials or cutting styles.
Wide range of compatible blades: Available blades include standard, slim, mega, dichroic, and separating blades—each tailored for specific materials or cuts.
