Will this cut glass? Like glass bottles in half to make drinking glasses

I would imagine so, although I really haven't tried; I did use it to cut some bathroom tile and that went pretty well. Just be sure to keep the blade cool (I used a spray bottle of water).

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

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 .

Honestly, I don't know. If you prefer a Dremel tool for your project call the Dremel customer service and ask an expert there. I'm sure they can direct to the most appropriate tool and accessory. I had to buy it for cutting very small pieces of porcelain tile.

I don't believe this will work, as Steve_in_Austin stated the size is not really a problem and the cutter works well on wood. My concern with acrylic is the likelihood that the stress caused by the blade and the drill motor will cause the acrylic glass to crack or possibly shatter. I don't think you want that outcome. Have you thought of using something like this General Tools & Instruments 450-6 Flat Leg Divider, 6-Inches and then just taking your time to slowly scribe through the acrylic?

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! ;)

I use the saw to primarily cut glass. I have made crosscuts up to 24" ....as far as the width, I have cut 48" pieces of glass with no problem. I have used it to cut 12x12 and up to 18x18 tiles....hope this helps.

It comes with a diamond blade. It cuts 3/8" thick marble tile with no problem. Marble is around 3-4 of 10 on the hardness scale. Volcanic glass is around 5 of 10. I predict it will cut glass easily, though how cleanly it cuts is a matter of technique. Also, you will have to remove the splash/blade guard to cut a bottle (messy!), and you will have to roll the bottle more or less freehand through the blade. If you are comfortable with this, then you can probably make this saw cut bottles.

In theory it could, but likely wouldn't hold that many glasses at once. Also depends on the size of the glass. The blades are very close together .

I don't know if it can be cut if that is what you mean and yes, it will work underneath glass. It's a good product.

You can raise the blade level more than 1 inch so it would fit. Based on that I would think it would cut glass that thick. It is very sharp and if you take the time I believe it would do the job. However I have never tried to cut anything that thick.

The tool really holds well on the flat part of a piece of glass. It should work fine-just clean the surfaces before hand.

The g2 Bottle Cutter is not intended to make zig-zag style cuts, but rather straight cuts around a bottle. It may be possible to make a zig-zag cut, though it would likely be exorbitantly tedious, requiring experimentation in a trial-and-error process.

Paul, i have one and its scores perfectly (with a bit pf practice, of course) i cut all kinds of bottles -wine, liqueur, soda - but this is to score it not slice through. I have found that it matters on the quality of glass your scoring. Beer bottles are about the lowest quality of glass you can use. I can get maybe one bottle to score/cut properly for my uses out of far too many. And don't use that tap thingy. Just use the hot cold water 'stress' method and the results are very promising. Yet this all take practice and a good recycle bin in the interm.

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

No and No but its glass and can cut and be abrasive if a lot of pressure is applied

Sorry, I've never tried that. I would think it would be something that could be done, if you had some kind of glass cutting blade on your tool.

not sure. but that's not what it's for so it would be a waste. it would ruin the blade fast. there are plenty of cutter wheels specifically for metal. reserve this for glass , ceramic , stone

Hi The Dremel not have a Bit to cut glass with 678-01 Circle Cutter and Straight Edge Guide. Ferredepot

It's pretty flexible. It has a moveable stop that allows you to cut bottles to just about any height for a drinking glass. I flipped it around and only the cut the bottom of my bottles off and it works for that too. If you order it, get extra scoring blades. They wear out pretty quickly depending on how my bottles you are planning to cut.
