Description
Overview
The Gemini 1126 Slicer replacement blade is for the Apollo Slicer cartridge. Its flat, fine-grit profile makes a narrow 0.040-inch kerf for glass wafers and detailed fused-glass work, with cutting concentrated on the front and back.
Features
- Thin kerf conserves material when slicing rods and pattern bars.
- Fine diamond grit for a smoother slicing edge.
- Flat profile supports forward/backward cutting rather than full-speed side cutting.
Specifications
- Part: 1126
- Required setup: Apollo Slicer cartridge, 0518 family
- Blade cross-section: 0.040 in. wide × 0.150 in. front to back
- Kerf: 0.040 in. (approximately 1 mm)
- Typical fused-glass work: Up to 3/8 in. thick
- Typical blade life: Approximately 50–100 hours, depending on material and technique
Applications
Use the Slicer blade for thin wafers, rods, pattern bars and scroll cuts in fused glass. It is a replacement blade for an existing Slicer cartridge, not the complete cartridge assembly.
Selection and Use
- Steer the material through forward/backward cuts. Small lateral grinding movements are possible, but sustained side cutting can damage the cartridge grommets.
- Match the Slicer cartridge before ordering; Standard/Slim/Dichroic wire cartridges are a different setup.
