Looking to confirm that I can use this glass cutter to cut wine bottle horizontally ?

The g2 will score a line around a round bottle. You can then tap on the line or stress it with hot/cold until it cracks all the way through. If you mean to cut your bottle lengthwise, from top to bottom, the g2 is not the tool for you; you need a saw, such as the Aquasaw XL that has a 4-1/2" vertical clearance.

Yes you can!! It will take a couple of bottles for you to get your technique right. Practice makes perfect! Use a candle to heat the score...try to keep the heat focused there...then dip in cold water. You may have to do this a couple of times...but it CAN be done!!!

Hi, pretty new @ bottle cutting, only did wine bottles. try web site for g2 cutter, they might say. friend in Seattle having excellent results w/wine bottles. don't blame g2 cutter if they don't seperate rite away. I'm still practicing, ( but have limited supply of bottles to work with). her's are cutting perfectly, only losing 1 or 2 out of 30. Her hint is..... sml blow torch over score line, then extremely cold water (using tons of ice). good luck, Betty

You can definitely use them. I use them to cut pieces out of wine bottles to turn them into planters.

Yes. Follow instructions and no problem. I even cut thicker champagne bottles.

I have used the cutter blade but have not used the glass yet. I just assume it works as stated.

Technically I guess you could, as the knife is made up of some pretty sturdy stuff, but I don't think that was an intended use. That said, I have opens bottles up with it before by using the holes in the side.

Hi DeAnn: I also cut bottles and purchased mine for that purpose. However I found that it was hard to control with one hand and vibrated a lot. There is no speed control and it was difficult to press the off button located in the front of the sander while working. I have no use for it and instead purchased a Black & Decker 3 speed RTX rotary tool from Amazon. Just received it yesterday. So far it seems to be working, but you have to sand small areas at a time. Good luck on your bottlecutting!

Yes. You will need to adjust the depth of the blade of the straight cutter or use an exacto knife which is my preferred method. The cutting guide may not sit flat on 3/16 foam board. The angle cutter will also need to be adjusted for foam board.

my answer is , "it depends". When I use it for tomatoes, I have a hard time because I like to slice horizontally. In this case it cuts like a "left handed knife" and I'm right-handed.

Simply place the open end on the wine bottle top above the cork and lower until the top of the lip of the bottle cannot go further. Simply twist, and it cuts the foil very evenly. I have been using this foil cutter for several years - the same one - and I use it often. I have never experienced any problems; it continues to cut the foil with the same sharpness as when I first received it. I've also purchased it as a gift for several people because it is so easy and effective.

Even if it was possible, to do a wall of glass like you suggest would go through many blades and a great many hours of time. Why not buy the right tool for the right job? ($30) Do an Amazon search for Ephrem's Bottle and Jar Cutter. I've been using one since 1972 and it works great. It scratches (scores) the glass, you heat with a candle, rub ice cube on the scored line and bingo, you have a cut bottle. In a minute.

you can use this to score, but not cut. see the following site where wine bottle is scored with just plane simple glass cutter. he then heats the score with boiling water and PinK/plunk the glass breaks along the score. I tried cutting with my drummel and this wheel and a little bounce is a disaster. see and follow.... http://lifehacker.com/5488097/use-boiling-water-to-make-a-perfect-wine-bottle-cut

Yes it fully adjusts for both the height of the bottle and the width. I have cut liquor bottles, wine bottles and beer bottles, no problems with any of these.

It may be able to be cut with a hack saw, but if you do, you won't be able to put 4 1/2 inch or larger bottles on the first row.

I have cut pieces from a wine bottle with this tool, just take it slow as they say let the tool do the cutting and wear protection as fine glass is't good fer the eyes

So sorry for the late reply, but yes you can add up and sideways. That's the cool thing about the 4/bottle sections. Includes rubber connector clips that connect the sections to one another for a sturdy wine unit. Love mine!

there is a "hammer" its a long S shaped hook to help separate the glass i have never used it and i have cut well over 100 wine and liquor bottles. i use my coffee pot and kitchen sink to cut the bottles i score them with this bottle cutter poor hot water from the coffee pot SLOWLY over them until the bottle it self feels warm then turn on the cold (very low flow) water in my kitchen sink and presto the bottle comes apart cleanly i lay a towel in the bottom on my sink to catch the bottle hope this helps
