I'm looking for something to cut wine bottles with. I've tried the heat and cool method and it's a crap shoot at best. Any advice???

I have never tried cutting glass but will try and let you know. Doesn't seem likely.

It will definitely cut glass. If you buy a 10" for cutting glass(readily available at tile stores) you will get a cleaner cut. The big question is how to do it safely. Cutting a piece of flat tile is not problem. A curved item that doesn't sit flat on the cutting bed may be dicey. You don't want it to move around and possibly bind and break the bottle. Figuring out a way to cut it without bottle moving around is your issue. Don't have an answer for that, but I bet you could figure it out. The saw will cut the glass bottle though.

I'll use wet saw (not bouncing) and good (not bouncing) glass cut blade. It depend glass hardness, but bottle glass is soft and I think that you'll get cheeps up to 1/32". Try to cut slow.

Yes, it will cut the glass bottle just fine. You will get the cleanest cut without chipping if you use a new high quality blade, full water blast, and slow and steady.

Well I'm a tile installer and use this saw to cut glass tile frequently. I would suggest that you have a high quality diamond blade though. This saw is capable of cutting something as wide as a wine bottle. It is a awesome saw

I have not used the bottle opener yet. I use it primarily for the knife and scissors functions. I did notice that they both had to be sharpened before they worked well. I use it for very light jobs, as I don't think it would work well for heavy duty jobs.

I've been cutting the bottoms off of wine bottles. The thickest one was probably only 1/4 of an inch, (which was not a problem) but not sure about 1/2 inch....I think the hardest part with that would be getting a straight break when separating.

I had the same problem with my Waring opener shortly after purchasing it, and never was able to get the cork out. I finally had to trash the opener and purchase an Oster cordless wine opener. I have never had any problems with the Oster!

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 found it to be horrible for hot works. I ended up using old Le Crueset spatulas. I've had the most luck overall with Oxo's utensils, which have some flexibility in the handles. These have zero flexibility.

Be very careful with glass bottles and bottle warmers! We used glass bottles and I believe it was this warmer that ended up making the bottle so hot that I almost burned my hand. I would recommend the kinde kozii bottle warmer, it is my understanding that it made for glass and we have been using it for a year with our glass bottles with no problems.

I never tried that. That might make it work better. I really wouldn't buy the item. It realljy doesn't keep the bottle chilled well.

Technically you can use it to make wine. Thats what I bought it for as. The only problem is you will have to get a couple extra things. The capper it comes with is for capping beer bottles and wont do wine bottles. You can buy a wine corker, or just pound your corks in with a hammer and a piece of rod (or alternative). It also does not come with yeast (your going to want EC 1118 for wine/mead). I would replace the plastic bucket with another carboy ASAP and be really careful not to scratch the bucket until you do. This is because bacteria get in scratches and crevasses of plastic and are hard to kill. So clean well but also carefully. All that said, you can totally make wine with this kit.

Just use some distilled water and a spray bottle. Thats what I did and it worked like a champ. Then just wet it liberally and make sure you use a sharp blade.

Type "waiter's cork screw video" in Google and you will get several videos on how to use the tool correctly. After hundreds (maybe more...) of uses I have never broken a bottle... A few corks but never cracked a bottle. Good luck.

Hi Stephanie...I have not used it especially for doing stencils...however i would say it would be ideal...I have cut plastic bottles with the blade attachment ...works fine...Hope this helps..Best Regards Dianne...PS the Thermostat is great as you can get the right amount of heat..D

I was not able to sucessfully cut a single glass bottle or jar. To me, the quality of the cutter is lacking.As noted, I returned & will continue to look for a quality bottle cutter.

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.

It is my understanding that there is a separate product for recycling plastic bottles, so my inclination is to say that the one listed for wine bottles would not work for the plastic. Having said this I haven't tried it for anything other than wine bottles, so I really don't know.

The Wine saver won't work with sparkling wines...This does..keeps it close to new for a while...Someone else makes one that has a clam style that works ok too...This is just for sparkling wines....and won't work with regular non-sparkling wines ..Hope that helps...I have about three different styles of them I've gotten over the years....as I carry on vacations so sometimes I lost them...great if you just want a couple glasses and keep it for another night...will not keep for a long time...say a month...slowly loses it's fizz.doesn't take air out...it is a spring loaded cap that keeps a tight seal so the fizz stays in.

The product didnt' work for me.....at all. Tried 5 different wine bottles...with different types of corks. No luck. Theoretically....yes it should work that way...but the product did not work for me at all. Returning it for refund.
