Michael,
If you are a beginner, do yourself a favor. Resist buying every tool on the
shelf, they are nice, and the sales pitch on all of them make sense, but
they are not for you at this point in your experience level.
learn to use the glass cutter and grozing pliers, then you will be able to
answer that saw question yourself by the speed at which you are cutting
pieces versus the saw,(which is slow).
Start simple, get alot of experience cutting and grozing, make a bunch of
smaller projects, (or take you time making a larger one), and you will find
what you save in tool purchase you can spend in glass. and that is much
more enjoyable than another gadget.
