To Saw or not to Saw?

I'm still fairly new to making stained glass projects and I've had some problems with detail cutting. I've heard that for detail a diamond bit ring saw would be very helpfull. I don't know if this is true or what saw would be best. What do you think? Any advice would be appreciated.

I have this kind of saw and I hate it! It is slow, loud, messy and inaccurate.
What kinds of pieces are you having trouble cutting? Ask and maybe someone can help or can recommend a video or online tutorial.

Chances are if you need a ring saw to cut the piece of glass you want, the design is flawed and the glass would break under stress later anyways. Re-design!!
Ring saws are helpful to glass fusers where the integrity of the shape will be strengthened by the act of fusing to another piece of glass.
