Does anyone know if this can cut glass? Looking to cut glass shanks off the backs of glass buttons.

The 5792 may be able to do that but I'd strongly advise against using any shears or scissors to cut glass. I'm sure there are tools to do such, but these scissors or any other shears would not be a safe way to do it. Just my opinion.

I have not tried that but suspect the scissors would probably break or crunch the glass rather then cut it. And I am not sure the cutting surface would get close enough to give a flush to the surface cut against the back of the button.

I used a knife once, but was gentle in cutting and didn't have a problem. I would think if you can find some kind of plastic tool to cut it might be safer.

I don't know. I would check online to see if Dremel makes a glass cutting bit. If not, I would check other suppliers and compare the shank size to the max that Dremel can accommodate. You may want to consider a Dremel stand so the drill bit doesn't wander on the glass as it is getting started. Good luck.

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!

Yes. You have to VERY careful though. If you don't hit it hard enough it wont break. If you hit it too hard your hand could go thru the glass too. That would not be good. I hope this helps.

Hi Bill, I haven't used it on glass but I don't know why it wouldn't work. It's great on ceramic, stainless, etc. I would either keep it off the metal or test an inconspicuous spot first as I had another cleaner damage the chrome on my shower door.

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 can't even imagine cutting the glass and then securing it with screws. I'd have to refer you to a glass shop. This works fine on our 2-inch thick door. But glass? Sounds scary to me. Good luck.

This tool only vibrates. It's good for stone or metal engraving, but not very useful for glass. Hope this helps.

You could also try the clay bar, it made my glass super smooth. I dont think the black wax applicator pad on the tool should hurt glass as it is non-abrasive.

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

Havent used it on glass but you can email Anolon and they would be able to help answer your question. Hope that helps. MJ

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.

No. The throat (distance between the blade guide and table surface) is much too small. For that I recommend a bottle cutter. What it will do is cut amazing shapes in flat glass.

If you're using it on metal, ceramic, or heavy glass, ok. It'll most likely break a something made out of thin glass.

Definitely! It's razor sharp. I've cut through plastic with it. I prefer the straight edge but if you feel that you may get more from the serrated edge, go for it!

Mine works on glass, at times it does miss. Better with dark colored glass or stone surfaces. Also it is not a bluetooth mouse, so it will only work with a usb reciver, included.
