Actually the thicker the wine bottle the better. I put a piece of carpet material down and as I turn the bottle this pivots it. I also learned how to cut the glass rings on my own. A light score then dip in boiling water for approximately 60 seconds then in ice water. Every one of mine except for the first one has been perfect.

Yes. Follow instructions and no problem. I even cut thicker champagne bottles.

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.

It does. It also takes some time to get it down. I haven't gotten any bottles cut correctly yet.

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.

Yes I have used it to cut carpet. It was a thinner carpet so not sure about thicker carpet

If this saw does not have a rigid back (like a Back-saw) then, yes it can cut wood that thick. However, accuracy will be tough. I would try a table saw first, even if I had to make a special jig to allow for the size of the window. Best wishes, Robt. P.S. I mention the rigid-back because I have many pull-saws for different uses and I do not remember what this specific saw looks like; I am not fluent in Japanese! RW

I use it on the thinnest setting for onions, cucumbers and carrots. The slices are paper thin. Do not know how it would work cutting thicker for dehydrating purposes.

I have cut pieces from a wine bottle with this tool, just take it slow as they say let the tool do the cutting and wear protection as fine glass is't good fer the eyes

It's probably an inch thick but is plastic, so I doubt it would cut well or look right.

It will cut it easily. I've cut thicker material but if you plan on cutting a lot of heavy material you may consider a bigger machine.

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!

Yes, I believe it would....this tool is very easy to use and opens the most difficult bottles....stands to reason that it would also tighten a garden hose....if it weren't snowing and so cold, I would go outside and check it....

you will need a chain cutter to cut it. it is very thick but that's what makes it so good. would not recommend!

I did the base of two crown royal bottles very thick. If you keep the work cool by wetting it and keep flushing out the old glass dust I think you can do quite a few. The coarse layer of abrasive wears fast but the bit keeps cutting. The second bottle cut better than the first. Start the bit in an angle till you have a depression to hold the bit. I tried tape and it didn't work. For the money buy two and you will be fine. J.Michael

Yes this can cut through thick boxes and other things, especially since you can change the blade out as often as you need to always have a sharp edge. Also, the grip area of the knife is pretty large, with your index finger resting on the guard covering half the blade, there is plenty to hold on to. The knife is very thin, so if you have trouble gripping things, a thicker handle may work better for you, but this knife has always worked very well for me, and taken up very little space.

Yes, if you're careful and patient. I used this saw to put together a model train table for my kids and did quite a few flush cuts in the process. I have sliced things as thin as 1/8" using this saw.

Yes it fully adjusts for both the height of the bottle and the width. I have cut liquor bottles, wine bottles and beer bottles, no problems with any of these.

I haven't used it much, but it is small. Probably best suited for thicknesses of one or two pieces of stained glass stacked and cutting intricate shapes. Might be faster than all the cuts necessary with a regular hand held cutter. Other than that my suggestion would be a larger type wet saw with rotary diamond blade...maybe even industrial size with a 10 inch blade. Probably would be faster, and blade last much longer. Just my opinion though. best regards

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.
