Can this be used for cutting circles out of glass?

You must first drill a hole for the center of this tool to pivot in a circle. The dremel bit then cuts the circle. I do not know if there is a glass cutting bit for this tool. I have only used this on wood and plastic

The unit attaches to a specific dremel unit primarily for cutting wood; I have never used my dremel to cut glass, but I have used the unit to cut mother of pearl through repetitive effort. It is designed primarily for cutting a very straight edge.

should work, I think. Depends also on how many holes you want to make. It's not that strong. Remember to ware protect glass.

Yes you can. Use a fine blade and put duc tape on both sides of the glass mark your line on the tape then cut

I don't see why not. The surface is a pretty hard plastic so it's probably doable. Just remember to round out the corners on the side you're cutting or it'll probably look like poo.

You certainly could use this to cut out a small section of plywood, but if you are talking about slicing off big pieces then you are better off using a circular saw or something else bigger.

As it is the same principal as a glass cutter I'm going to say yes. Mosaic glass tile might be difficult but other than that you should be fine.

I think the cutter might be able to cut acetate (fabric, I assume). However, unless the fabric was pinned down really well I don't know if it would be stiff enough to cut a perfect circle. Hope this helps...!

Yes, I used it to cut glass mosaic tile. For really finer cuts, you may want to consider a wet saw with a glass cutting blade on it but if you're not super fussy, this will work just fine.

The little blades are pretty flimsy. It might work, but there's a pretty good chance that they would snap off. And, when the blades snap off, it's pretty impossible to get the little plastic base out of the blade housing. So then, the whole cutter is permanently dead. If you really, really need to make a circle and $20 is an acceptable gamble, it might be worth a shot. Otherwise, I wouldn't buy it for that purpose.

No. Glass etching is done with diamond or carbide tips on a rotary device (like a Dremel) that rotates the tip to score or cut away bits of the glass. This is a heat device that will slice through plastics to create a stencil. Search through Amazon or Google for "diamond burr set." Another way to etch glass is to sandblast or to chemically etch the glass with something like Armour Etch.

It may. I used it to remove grout and then a chisel to either break up the tile or pop it out in one piece. I haven't tried cutting thru the glazing on the tile, If it is a new blade and doesn't cut into the glazing quickly (within a minute), then I wouldn't use it any further to cut through the glaze. Give it a try.

I only used it to cut tile which essentially has a glass coated surface . It worked very well for that . It will be dangerous , be safe .

My quick answer is probably not....this little drill press doesn't have a lot of power, but I'm not familiar with drilling any kind of glass. I suppose with the right bit it's possible but I suspect even the slowest speed available on it might be too fast for glass. It's not a big investment tool-wise so it might be worth the try. I've been using this a lot for my wood items, many thousands of holes drilled at this point and it's holding up just fine. Hope this helps, good luck!

It will cut glass but might not give the clean sharp line you want. I would prefer to use a wet saw especially for smaller pieces. This cutter is fine if the edge of your cut will be hidden (as in a corner) or covered by mortar or caulk etc

No this blade is intended to cut glass. We used it to cut glass tile mixed with slate. It worked well for that purpose. You should rent a concrete cutter for your purpose.

I didn't know but looked on google for answer - yes it is possible but difficult. You can cut straight lines with a utility knife, but circles are difficult and are best handled with some sort of punch like a leather punch or people have used the outer circle of metal on an old Coax cable, or for larger circles the sharpened edge of a used food can. Search on Google for Cutting sorbathane and you will find a lot of ideas and what works and what doesn't.

Although I have never tried it personally, I would have to say given diamond is harder than glass you should be able to do it. Not sure how fancy you can get with the cuts. Or how fast or slow of a process it would be. But I think it would be a good starting point and worth trying.
