Glass Bottle Cutting Jig

thingiverse

This text-spinning tool has been inspired by a video demonstration; however, the original link is not included in this rewritten version. The video showcases a setup that allows users to repurpose empty wine, beer bottles, and more into drinking glasses by clamping a glass cutter. Additionally, the top part of wine bottles could also be used for something creative, hinting at an upcoming idea. The diagram provided displays a design with M4x20mm bolts and an M8 studding piece holding a 608 bearing in place. To replicate this setup, follow these instructions: assemble the parts using the provided print or alternative methods like glue or melting; fit a desired-sized bearing; clamp the glass cutter securely; adjust the points of contact for smooth bottle rotation; set the conical plug at the desired cutting height; turn the bottle through one full rotation to create a scoring line around its circumference; alternately apply hot and cold water on the scored line until it breaks apart, ensuring safety by sanding or grinding away any sharp edges.
