Simple and easy glass wine bottle cut with Dremel

Really reliable way to cut a bottle using a Dremel, cheap diamond bits and a few bits and pieces from around the garage. Using this method I've never had the glass break or the cut go wrong. It's really easy.

Remember to keep the bottle wet and wear your mask and eye protection. If you keep the water flowing on the cut you won't make any dust or sharp bits of glass, but it's better to be safe than sorry. Although it's very unlikely, bits can shatter and the glass can shatter and potentially go into your eye, so don't take the risk and wear your goggles.

Using a flowing water system is absolutely essential. If you don't use water you'll get loads of horrible dust and the glass will overheat and shatter. I've tried using sponges but you don't get enough flow or consistency, and you spend your time worrying about whether it is wet enough.

Don't push too hard, let the tool do the work. You should hardly put any pressure on the bottle with the bit - if the tool starts to slow down a lot then you are pushing too hard. The first cut all the way round should just be to gently score the bottle. This guides the water into the cut, and guides the tool as you keep going round. This means you can take a break and then carry on where you left off.

When you finally get through the glass it'll feel like pushing a knife into soap. When that happens just back off a bit and continue with a constant shallow cut all the way around for a couple more rotations until the bottle falls into two pieces.

The bits I use are cheap diamond coated bits from Ebay. Using a diamond bit is essential, if you use any other type then they will wear away too quickly, overheat, shatter or not cut very well. Buy the cheapest ones you can find and you'll be fine.

My wife uses the cut bottles to make lovely plant pots, you can see them here. https://www.instagram.com/queensofgreendesign/
