The Gemini Saw Company started in 1989 with an idea and a 10 X 10 ft shed.
There was a need for a saw designed specifically for artisans who required the ability to make intricate, precision cuts, particularly stained-glass people.
The breakthrough concept was revolutionary : by removing the axle from a wheel and getting it out of the way, you could use the whole wheel, including the inside.
This innovative idea came from Gemini Saw Company Inc. founder and president, Jesse Cogswell. Jesse and his mother were both experienced stained-glass artists who understood firsthand the challenges of achieving clean, accurate cuts. After thousands of hours of research, development and testing numerous prototypes, Jesse’s unique design was successfully patented and full-scale production began.
From those humble beginnings, Gemini Saw Company quickly grew, first selling saws in the United States and then, expanding into the worldwide market. Continued advances in engineering and manufacturing allowed Gemini to produce more affordable, efficient and reliable saws while maintaining the company’s exceptional quality.
As demand grew, Gemini began to expand into different industries such as lapidary, tile and stone contractors while maintaining its commitment and loyalty to the stained-glass enthusiasts, mosaic artists and jewelry makers.
Growth also meant expanding our facilities, and what began in the shed soon moved to a garage, which then led to a house. Eventually, our continued evolution required larger manufacturing spaces from 1,250 sqft to 4,600 sqft facilities in Southern California.
We entered a new chapter in 2021 when we landed at our current 8,600 sqft location in Gardena, CA where our dedicated team continues to design, manufacture and assemble every Gemini saw for you, our valued and devoted customers. Throughout our history, Gemini Saw Company, Inc. has specialized in craftsmanship, innovation and quality that has defined our company since the beginning in that 10x10 ft shed.
