Does anyone know where i can buy a water drip system for my scroll saw to cut glass with diamond blades?
Thanks

If you go to a medical supply house you can get an IV drip, with a drip valve.
An alternative would be aquarium hose with a regulator.

Why is it I have a picture in my mind of water and electricity not mixing ??????and where do you get diamond blades that cut glass for a scroll saw? I would like to see that myself.

Call me dumb but doesn't seem feesable to me.

I guess it would depend on the saw Sharon.
The hole in the middle of my Delta table is away from the electrial system.
You don't use a whol elot of water, just enough to cool the blade.
If they get too hot the glue will melt and the diamond dust will fall off.
Here is a supplier link.
They are not the cheapest blades on the market, but they do intrigue me.

I thought this may answer your questions about cutting glass.

Way Cool-- Thanks I didn't know that it could be done-- boy is my mind in gear -- gave myself a headache,ouch --
I made a oil lamp holder the other day using a pattern just the flowers ) from a tiny little night light . It looks darn good for someone not to know what I was doing -but I needed a mirror behind the top part -- now that I know glass can be cut on a saw I am off to conqure a new deminision.....

A friend reminded me that Gail Jennings of Quail Hollow Wood Arts www.quailhollow-woodarts did a stained glass fairy for SSW in Summer 2004...he built his own drip system to keep the blade cool..
I'm sure Gail would be glad to help out as well!

I don't think I would do it. I picture water droplets going everywhere and causing havok in a short period of time.

There are glass tools to cut glass- including power saws -that are not that expensive

I'm sure you could "make up something" I know that HAWK/RBI has a drip tank designed for their saws.
