I don't know about that brand ...but I used to have a bottle cutter that worked awesome...made a lot of slides out of all kinds of bottles...alittle emery cloth to take off the edge...and away you go.....

It's good to know they work. I've got a couple of Stock Brandy bottles with just the right diameter for my pinky.

hi,don't know how they are,but i am a dentist ands use my drill with a diamond bit,works great....so maybe a dremel moto tool ewith diamond birt would be better,and can be used for rounding edges,just a tghought...peace maddog

I think I'd be a bit nervous if I went to see my dentist and he
introduced himself as "Maddog"! lol.

yep...it was given to me many years ago,in used to kickbox,,sort of semi pro,,got beat up alot,,guitaer hurts less....been a dentist almost 30 years my patients think it's funny

..or used his drills with powdered glass on them Andy, lol

Here's a really neat bottle-cutting jig I came upon. It's super cheap to make and it works.

I like your idea for rounding off the sharp edges.

I'll vouch for that along with Marc. Those diamond dentist drills are great and perfect with the Dremel. I made a glass slide out of an old pill bottle not so long ago using exactly that method for cutting the glass.
Finished the edges off with a Fine emery cloth worked great.
Those drill bits aren't cheap to buy thought. Purchased mine in a packet of ten from a Dental suppliers a long time ago. Dental tools are great for doing all sort of stuff , engraving and modelling in plaster etc ..I used them a lot over the years .
Tried the trick of using a cord in flame around the bottle neck and that was absolutely useless as a trick.

I've never tried any of those bottle cutters as yet but always wondered.

p.s. please wear saftey glasses,and perhaps gloves..maddog

I've tried making my own slides with little success - I think I'd still like to try some more. I used a variety of glass cutters, heat / cold glass snapping, etc.

Eventually I just went to www.diamondbottlenecks.com I sent in my measurements of my favourite brass slide and then included some options that I wanted (rounded corner cut profile, a taper, etc.) and I have the best slide ever now :) in my Diamond Ultimate lead glass slide.

Scribing the line with light pressure and a quick motion is the thing to remember. Never scribe over the line twice and use oil on the cutter. I built my jig today and made my first glass slide. I probably had beginners luck and got it on my first attempt.
