Gemini Apollo 5-3/4" Flat Wire Blade - Speed

Sometimes known as the inverted Mega blade we turned a mega inside out and made it thinner.  The result is a tear dropped shaped blade that is almost unbreakable with the round part on the inside and the point on the outside. Its thinner profile makes it our fastest most aggressive blade yet. When pushing forward into this blade it glides through the thickest toughest  materials with ease. Its action is omni-directional in stained glass or soft wall tile and forward and backward for thicker or harder materials. When pushing or pulling the material through with this blade it has a thinner kerf than a Standard, Mega, or Slim blade. 

• Blade Shape: Tear Drop .055 inside  x .150 (front to back).
• Grit is aggressive.
• Material Thickness Capacity: 3/4", normal use is fused glass, stained glass, ceramic tile and stone.
• What to Avoid: Do not cut thin dichroic glass as it will chip easily. Demonstrate to students its action prior to letting them use it, explaining the tear drop shape and its uniqueness. Average Blade Life: 50-100 hours 

*Requires a flat slicer blade cartridge.
