I want to cut wine bottles to use in a adobe wall like a skylight. Can you cut glass bottles?

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.

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.

Yes. Set the rip fence to the length you want then feed the bottle into the blade until it cuts to the inside then rotate the bottle to cut around it. If you rotate too fast or do not keep the bottle square to the blade, it will break before you finish the cut. Wear gloves and goggles. Small, sharp shards are produce.

I never tried cutting glass . It might work if you went really slow on the cut but I wouldn't think it would work.

Yes....I have cut everything from a soda bottle to one of the gigantic wine bottles!

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

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.

why would you want to cut the bottle open; in what i am assuming is in the same manner you would use a champagne saber? why yes i would love to run the risk of doing this incorrectly and have shards of glass in my champagne rendering it undrinkable for the sake of looking cool. there is absolutely no need to open a bottle this way. having said that; you should try it on a cheap bottle of champoggin. i would say using a blade this big is impractical just by comparing it to the size and weight of actual champagne sabers. weight might be the biggest issue and generating enough speed and force, which is probably why champagne sabers are smaller. why would you want to cut the bottle open; in what i am assuming is in the same manner you would use a champagne saber? why yes i would love to run the risk of doing this incorrectly and have shards of glass in my champagne rendering it undrinkable for the sake of looking cool. there is absolutely no need to open a bottle this way. having said that; you should try it on a cheap bottle of champoggin. i would say using a blade this big is impractical just by comparing it to the size and weight of actual champagne sabers. weight might be the biggest issue and generating enough speed and force,... » Read More why would you want to cut the bottle open; in what i am assuming is in the same manner you would use a champagne saber? why yes i would love to run the risk of doing this incorrectly and have shards of glass in my champagne rendering it undrinkable for the sake of looking cool. there is absolutely no need to open a bottle this way. having said that; you should try it on a cheap bottle of champoggin. i would say using a blade this big is impractical just by comparing it to the size and weight of actual champagne sabers. weight might be the biggest issue and generating enough speed and force, which is probably why champagne sabers are smaller. « Show Less

Absolutely! I used only glass bottles and it worked like a charm. Now my daughter is on to sippy cups and use this as a drying rack for my wine glasses! ;)

Yes, I believe you could cut them with a hacksaw or other appropriate saw, as they are steel.

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.

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.

As far as I am aware, straight cuts only. After a bottle is cut you can do other cuts with other tools for specific designs.

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!

The cord is attached to the top so there is no need to cut the bottle. My only issue with the lamp kit is the cork is a bit small for the top of most wine bottles but that can be remedied.

no need to cut. there are small holes in the side. just fill your bottle. screw the plant water on and insert into plant. good luck

Yes, you can cut the product. I cut it with a hacksaw. I honestly think you could cut it with a steak knife if you had to.

would this work to create a pendant light out of a bottle? so would cut the bottom off the bottle and hang it from the neck - thinking for over my island - thanks in advance

Absolutely. The metal cutter has to be squeezed and may be a little tough if you have arthritis in fingers on both hands but the corkscrew just involves pressing a button and holding the wine bottle.
