Seachange, Did you get the keel with your Revolution XT? I completely forgot about that when I posted earlier. I will sometimes use this if I am doing lots of straight cuts, and it does help to steady the blade and feed the glass somewhat better. Also there are references to a "carriage kit&quo...

Hi Seachange, I'll take a closer look at my saw on Monday. I really haven't done much in the way of any fine tuning, probably something I should do anyway. To answer your question though, I do see a considerable amount of vibration/wobble in the blade until it starts to bite into the glass. Then it ...

I've had my Revolution XT for a couple of years now. While chipping has rarely been an issue for me, I agree with David about cutting strips. It always seems to be a challenge to keep the sliding tray perpendicular to the blade. If I'm trying to square up a piece I'm coldworking I usually have bette...

I've never had a lot of luck gluing a pattern down. It always seems to slide on me a bit. Typically I will either use an oil based marker, like the DecoColor pens, or use a regular sharpie and then go over the marking with either a glue stick or vaseline so that it doesn't wash off while I'm cutting...

Sorry, most of my experience is with Bullseye glass. With Bullseye if a glass color containing copper come Ito contact with another glass color containing sulphur, you can sometimes get a reaction which can in some cases be very dark. I would assume the same reaction could also happen with System 96...

Copper is going to react in different ways depending on your firing schedule and I would guess potentially what glass it is fired on (i.e. are you getting a reaction because the glass you are sifting the copper powder onto contains sulfur?). When we use copper inclusions, colors can range from coppe...
