Can I cut a bottle with this or is only for straight glass? Thank you.

this glass cutter is not good for cutting a bottles, is for cutting sheet glass or mirrors.

never tried to cut a bottle with it but if you want to cut a bottle go on YouTube and look up string fire bottle cutter works great and easy but don't need a lot of string

This worked well for cutting through a 1/4" thick plate glass. Not sure how it will do on a round surface! It doesn't have a sharp point, so it may be more stable & actually do OK!

None of the blades that came with the tool were designed for cutting glass. I would assume that you would need a diamond blade of some sort to do that.

I have cut those huge apple juice bottles with is that hold a couple of gallons. I think it's safe to say that as long as its round, you can cut it with it. It really works great! But you have to use either boiling water or the candle and then icewater to get a clean cut.

I haven't used it much, but it is small. Probably best suited for thicknesses of one or two pieces of stained glass stacked and cutting intricate shapes. Might be faster than all the cuts necessary with a regular hand held cutter. Other than that my suggestion would be a larger type wet saw with rotary diamond blade...maybe even industrial size with a 10 inch blade. Probably would be faster, and blade last much longer. Just my opinion though. best regards

The best answer is that it is NOT sharp. Not sure how rounded it is but it is not a problem drinking out of it. Nothing sharp about the edge.

The size will be no problem...The center bit is just a regular steel drill bit so I'd try a regular bit on the acrylic first.Then it will be a question of whether the cutter will cut the glass.I'd guess so...You know for sure you HAVE to use this in a drill press...?

Yes. I have had 70% success with getting a clean cut using the hot to cold method to separate my bottles. I first soak the bottle at the stress line in boiling water, then transfer it to ice cold water. Sometimes the bottle separates cleanly and other times, not so much. This product, I think, includes a string and candle to help stress the glass to separate. I have not used it; perhaps that method produces better results.

If it were me I would cut the bottle in half, but don't cut your hands, be careful. Good luck.

I doubt that. I have cut the glass tile but it is very tough. The edge of the glass tile was very easy to get damaged and if you want a clean cut you need to look for something else.

I thought about cutting a hole in a wine bottle but I think it would be pretty tricky, you could do it but it would be difficult because it needs a flat surface to stabilize it. I bought this to cut a hole in the bottom of a glass decanter and I gave up (probable because I lack patience) but it was moving around a lot more than I had hoped.

Not sure what you mean by that. The actual cutter is adjustable so you can place your cut anywhere on the bottle. I've had to make some of my own simple modifications on very small bottles, but otherwise I've had no problem.

this glass is made for drinking your whiskies straight. I suggest a different glass for ice balls etc.

I don't know why that wouldn't work. I personally wouldn't be able to cut it straight, but someone with cutting skills probably could do it easily.

The blade is dull, but I think if you hit the neck of the bottle hard enough, it should break the glass with minimal shards of glass.

Yes it will slice through bottles very easily. The first time I did it I was able to get 3 cuts out of one gallon jug. It does a good job cutting pretty much anything I've tried . I've only experienced minimal bending of the blade and that was easy to straighten back out. Hope this helps.

I got this for my gf and we were cutting just a few minutes after it was out of the box. We cut mostly wine bottles and there has not been any cut we wanted so far that the device would not allow room for. As long as you can hold the bottle steady you can make a score anywhere you want.
