Gemini's Taurus 3 separating blade kit functions as an omni-directional blade when cutting thin material like stained glass, but thicker materials should only be cut using a forward and backward motion. All Taurus 3 blade kits come with one blade and two orange groove grommets.
-
Great blade for dense materials - "teardrop" design cuts dense glass, tile, stone, shell, nonferrous metals, and hard plastics such as acrylic and lexan
-
Cuts mainly on the front and back, so to create a curve you will guide the material around the blade - any sideways cutting will leave a large wide swath
-
It's rigidity has the ability to damage the saw itself if used improperly by pushing too hard
-
Keep in mind the "golden rule" to let the saw do the cutting and do not force the material

It is best to avoid cutting thin dichroic glass with this blade as it will likely chip!
