Standard Blade: A general, multi-purpose blade for omni-directional cutting in a variety of materials. With a round shape and 360 degree coating, the blade has the strength and versatility to cut quickly while grinding the edge, leaving it chip free and smooth. Stained Glass pattern making is made simple and easy with this blade because the material does not need to be turned while cutting but simply moved in any direction.

Material Thickness Capacity: 3/8", normal use is 1/8" art glass, 1/4" soft wall tile.
What to Avoid: Do not use for ceramic tile, 3/8" fused glass pieces, or thick material in general.
Average Blade Life: 40-60 hours

Slim Blade: A thinner version of the Standard Blade, the Slim Blade is designed for producing the most intricate designs. It also features omni-directional cutting capabilities, but can cut quicker front to back and leaves a smaller kerf (0.062) than the Standard Blade.
