Applications
Use the Apollo for material-appropriate cutting in tile, stone, marble, granite and glass. Compatible wire-blade setups also serve detailed work in nonferrous metals, acrylic and Plexiglas. The cartridge and blade grade—not the saw name alone—determine the suitable material and cutting action.
Selection and Use
- Double-sided sintered: Standard is for stone and thick glass only; Fine suits stained glass, fused glass, glass tile and other glass work. These blades cut forward/backward and gentle curves.
- Rigid: single-sided blade for aggressive straight slicing. Standard is 80 grit for stone and thick glass; Fine is 150 grit for glass.
- Wire: the matching cartridge accepts Standard, Slim and Dichroic wire blades for omnidirectional detail. Taurus 3 wire blades require that Apollo cartridge.
- Choose 110 V or 220 V to match the power supply. The Without Blade package requires a compatible blade/cartridge purchase before cutting.
- Always operate in the water bath with water, and use eye protection. Follow the linked manual for cartridge installation, tray alignment and cleaning.
- For narrow-radius work, consider the chosen blade’s shape and material thickness; the listed approximately 1/2-inch curve capability is not universal across all cartridges.
