Diamond scrollsaw blades

[Hawk]

While bouncing around cyberspace I came across these. As I'm starting my journey with stained glass they peeked my interest. 

Anyone ever used these?

Need a water system to keep cool and get better life out of them. i say learn how to cut the pieces with a good quality glass cutter. Believe me when I say good quality cutter is a must. One that oils as you cut.  Been there done that. I bought years ago a diamond small desk system grinder that works well. Name escapes me but I can look for it if you want me to. Again though it requires water. There is a scrollsaw water system I had seen somewhere before. Maybe a google search. I believe RBI has a drip tank system. Maybe you can adapt. They sell small pumps and things. You do not need alot of water cooling the blades, just drops.

I used to do stained glass in another life. Still have a glass grinder, it has a diamond wheel and water reservoir. It works like a drum sander, but for glass. If you think about it, its like intarsia but for glass.

I know RBI Hawk used to sell a drip system for cutting glass and ceramic etc.. I'm not sure they offer that any more. I think Hegner sells a system still too.. not sure if these systems would work on other saws but the biggest concern I'd have is getting all that into the motor on some saws and then other saws have bearings etc exposed at the front.
