Gemini Slim 80 Grit Blade Kit
Slim Blade - Originally developed for the Taurus I thru II.2 series as a thinner version of the standard blade. It has the same dimension as a standard or separating blade front to back but is thinner as you look at it straight on. For this reason it i just as strong as a Standard Blade but can cut quicker front to back and leave a slightly smaller kerf, (.062). It cuts the same as a standard blade left or right and its action is omnidirectional.

Tutorial on how to replace a blade |
Gemini Taurus 3 blades - FYI - Important Information:
1) All blades cut the same materials: glass, tile, stone, shell, nonferrous metals, hard plastics such as acrylic and lexan, and anything that has a similar density to these materials.
2) All blades use the same belt and grommets. Blades are interchangeable with the same belt and grommets and do not need to be changed unless they are excessively worn.
3) Always let the blade do the cutting. Forcing the blade through the material in a hurry will not only cause a slower cut but can also shorten the blade's life. There is an optimum speed for each blade with each material; you can feel it while you are cutting. Sensitivity to this issue promotes long blade life. Find that cutting point at which you get maximum cutting speed with minimal pressure.
