Gryphon Diamond Wire Saw - Model Omni-1
Now shipping with Super Power Blades


The Gryphon Diamond Wire Saw offers the omni-directional cutting of a round blade with a feature no other glass saw can offer: the ability to make inside cuts without a lead-in.
If you wish to make completely inside cuts, all you need to do is provide a pilot hole (usually with a grinding pin), and pass the blade through the hole before cutting. Any intricate shape is possible by using this technique. *These saws are designed for and best used on 1/8" glass. The type used in stained glass work. We do not advise using this saw for cutting tile or anything others than glass.

This saw offers the following features:

Round Diamond Blade cuts in any direction 
Powerful Motor cuts glass quickly 
Simple construction with few moving parts for reliability 
Powerful motor located on top, away from the water

This Razor Knife Slitting Blade gives the Stained Glass Artist new capabilities combining Band Saw efficiency with the versatility of unidirectional cutting. Reducing the width radically upgrades the cutting speed and improves overall fit when you put your pieces back together.

Additional Information
On the Omni-1 by GRYPHON

The Omni- 1 is truly a omni-directional saw that cuts in any direction at any time. To get the most life from your blade you should modify your glass cutting technique by framing the glass in your hands with one finger resting on top to reduce vibration. Now keep the frame and move the glass back & forth, up & down to the pattern.

The Saw is simple to set up and simple to use, there are no adjustments other than the water flow. Tell your customers to place the water feed tube directly on the blade and use PLENTY OF FRESH WATER!!! Fill the base with 3" of water before use and leave it full.

Safe to use, the blades are made from piano wire they bend but they won't break. Don't be afraid to push the blade!

Versatility, cut outside, cut tight precision patterns and make inside cuts with no entry point. The Omni- I can do what NO OTHER SAW CAN. Inside cuts can be achieved by simply unfastening and lowering the blade. Then feed the blade through a predrilled hole in the Glass or Tile. To drill a hole in the glass we suggest using the Gryphon 1/8" Standard Grinding Pin that fits most available grinders.

Lower blade costs!!! Each blade should give you 2 1/2 to 3 hours in cutting time. Blades come in a three pack that the retailer prices for there market. The Super Power Blade that comes with the Saw is a 100 Grit and cuts ultra fast.

Low, low maintenance costs. The Diamond Wire Saw will not eat up its own parts like some other competing saws. There are no grommets to replace or bearings to hassle with. The guides and the chuck are long lasting, inexpensive and easy to replace. This is a quality machine built for long term trouble free operation.

Use the Omni-l as a trim saw to reduce grinding time.

Inside cutting gives the artist "a new dimension to the art".

Gryphon stands behind all their products and will take care you, the customer, with a 1 year warranty on parts and labor.

All Gryphon Saws are manufactured in the USA!
