TAURUS 3 SEPARATING BLADE
This is the standard
0.072in diameter blade, but with a trick! It has a special coupling. Used to cut
internally (like the hole in a donut) without a lead-in cut. Drill a
small hole, pass the blade through the hole and snap together. Saw
your internal cut, and separate the blade to free your piece.
Comes with two orange grommets

Dichroic Blade |
TAURUS 3 DICHROIC BLADE
Gemini has taken an extra skinny 0.058in diameter blade and coated it with extra fine
diamonds. This results in a blade perfectly suited for working with
dichroic and iridized coatings. The combination of thin blade and
fine diamonds makes for a smooth edge that allows you to fire at a
lower temperature to achieve a fire polished edge.
Comes with two orange grommets
