Its large, unobstructed work surface and slender overhead blade support provide superior visibility and control. Designed for both tabletop and handheld use, it includes a built-in water reservoir for dust suppression and cooling. With a powerful 1/3 hp motor running at 3000 RPM, quiet operation, and durable components shielded from glass dust, it offers low maintenance and long-lasting performance. The package includes a second blade and replacement guide wheel inserts, backed by a 3-year warranty, making it a must-have for professional and serious hobbyist glass artists. ## Description The round blade can cut in any direction, and operation is very smooth and quiet. The Zephyr saw has a large work surface that is free of obstructions. The overhead blade support is slender, allowing the artist to have a very clear view of the material as it is cut. In addition, the Zephyr has a deeper throat and more clearance for the glass than other consumer glass saws. Special attention has been given to designing the saw for quiet operation and for low maintenance. The critical moving parts are shielded to minimize the abuse from the glass dust that is generated when cutting. The highest quality bearings and wheels are used to extend the life of these critical parts. The motor/blade assembly is a separate unit that can be removed from the base and used as a hand-held saw. This is useful for cutting items that cannot easily be brought to the table. A small water reservoir is built into the blade assembly housing and will hold enough water for a few minutes of hand-held cutting. When the saw is used in the normal configuration (installed in the base), the base will hold enough water for several hours of cutting. The Gryphon Zephyr will cut glass, tile, rock and all other similar hard materials. The Zephyr + Ring Saw now includes a second blade and a set of guide wheel replacement rubber inserts. Features MUCH quieter operation. 20% deeper throat (6 5/8” vs. 5 1/2”). 2x height clearance (1 1/2” vs. 3/4”). Longer lasting bearings and wheels. When used as hand held, not necessary to attach separate housing cover. Convenient finger grip for hand held operation.

I looked carefully into ring saws, and got the Gryphon Zephyr, in no small part because I've also been very pleased with my two Gryphon grinders. What surprised me the most was that it cut through my glass *so* easily that I had to learn to dot try to do the cutter's work for it, so to speak - it only takes a light touch. One thing to not is that it does put out a lot of water to keep the blade cool, so you definitely will need Mark-Stay or some similar product to keep your lines from washing away - I haven't yet tried petroleum jelly, so I have no idea whether it works, so I stick with Mark-Stay, since I know it's made specifically to be used with glass-working equipment. I also use only distilled water in it (which I do for all equipment, from the grinders to my iron and so on), but a gallon of distilled water is only about $0.85 to $0.89 where I get it, and a gallon cools a lot of cutting. It's also surprisingly quiet *for what it is* - it's by no means "whisper-quiet", but I can certainly listen to music or TV or whatever while using it; it's not very heavy at all, so I set it up on a low table with something soft under it (to dampen vibration/noise) and use it while seated - which is also good because I have arthritis in my lower back. If I want to change position and stand, I can just pick it up and move it to a higher table. Additionally, the replacement blades are more reasonably priced. Oh yeah, and it arrived from the vendor quickly, and in excellent shape. I found it very easy to put together. Oh, and just as a tip, which may seem obvious but isn't necessarily so: never, and I mean NEVER, physically wipe the vision-guards on *any* glass-working equipment, because it *will* scratch. Just rinse it gently under running water; if necessary, drop a little liquid dish detergent onto it, but NEVER rub it. Just let the detergent slosh around over the surface(s). The shake it dry, and reposition onto the machine. All in all, I would definitely recommend this (and other Gryphon items) to friends. Review: Excellent control, clean cuts, and a must-have for serious stained glass work - I purchased the Gryphon Zephyr Ring Saw in August 2023 (2.5 years ago) and have been extremely happy with its performance. I’ve used it regularly for stained glass projects, and it has opened up design possibilities that would be very difficult with other traditional ways of cutting glass. One of the biggest advantages of the ring blade is the ability to cut in any direction. Unlike a standard wood saw where you’re limited to pushing forward, this allows you to maneuver the glass freely, which makes intricate shapes and detailed work much easier. Especially for cutting sharp corners or curves. You can cut a spiral if you go slow enough. Blade life has been reasonable for the amount of use I’ve put it through — I’ve replaced the blade three times due to normal wear, which is expected with glass work. As long as you let the saw do the work and avoid forcing the material, the blade lasts longer and performs better. The water system does a great job keeping the blade lubricated and controlling dust, and I appreciate how the glass debris settles into the reservoir instead of scattering everywhere. It keeps the workspace cleaner and safer. It’s also worth noting that this machine grinds through the glass rather than cutting it in the traditional sense, which allows for smoother shaping and more control. Overall, I’ve made some of my favorite pieces using this saw, and I highly recommend it to anyone serious about stained glass. It’s a fantastic tool that expands what you’re able to create. When I bought this saw it came with TWO blades, don't know if that will be the case for everyone, but it was a life saver for me. If it doesn't, do yourself a favor and get another blade for future use. ## Features - ROUND BLADE – The round blade cuts in all directions, leaving a smooth edge, and eliminating the need to grind.

I just use a headlamp for precise cutting. **Q: I believe the horsepower for this saw is 1/3HP not 1/5HP. This is from other searches and the product website. Can you confirm?** A: The motor is not marked with a horsepower rating. There is also nothing noted in the instruction manual. I would think the product website is correct. **Q: The blade on my Zephyr seized twice; I replaced it twice, and the third time the blade self-destructed. Has this happened to anyone else?** A: The times mine seized was due to small piece of glass got in the pully. Saw still good. **Q: Does it splash s lot of water?** A: Quite a bit of water comes around with the blade but little goes beyond work surface. I wouldn't use saw in an area that could not tolerate a bit of spray. It's no messier than a grinder and can make some incredibly difficult cuts. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I like the Gryphon Zephyr ring saw *VERY* much! *by K***. on July 10, 2012* I love doing glass work, but with arthritis, cutting glass, and then grinding it, is difficult.

I may try to make a mod to give some control over the water, this isn't my first water cooled diamond tool. Behind the blade the table is split so you can put the table on around the blade. This is a problem if your glass is catching the edge, while making delicate cuts. The solution to this is to cover the split and workspace for your piece with some tape, that allows you to push an edge over the crack without catching. Ruined my first cut because of this isssue, but you learn and do better the next time... If you don't want tape on your table, another way to deal with this is to bevel the edge so it doesn't catch on the edge. Tape was faster. I used a 3m medical tape transpore, and removed it as soon as the cut was done so the adhesive wouldn't transfer. The saw itself is quite nice. It cuts well. I like it to augment what I can do with my tile saw. It allows fine cuts, and slender results, so you can make your fancy cutouts like sport team logos, or other detailed work. Overall it is a very cheap build, it just doesn't seem right at this price. On the other hand, this is a saw that holds water in a basin, so a plastic tank body isn't inappropriate. My tile saw cost $70 new, and it is cheap, but better made than this. ## Frequently Bought Together - Gryphon Zephyr Ring Saw - Gryhpon Zephyr Ringsaw Replacement Blade - Gryphon Zephyr Replacement Fine Diamond Ring Saw Blade --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/7897416-zephyr-ring-saw](https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/7897416-zephyr-ring-saw) --- *Product available on Desertcart Brazil* *Store origin: BR* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
