THIS IS AWESOME!!! THANK YOU!!! My husband & I have been looking for a way to cut our square bottles for a long time now... so again... THANK YOU!!!!
Caitlin, Great video!When doing round bottles, You can also spin the bottle against the blade without going all the way through. This will create a score and prevent any cracking, chipping or fissuring near the end of the cutting process.
Been using a wet tile saw for decades, you did it correctly.
As a woodworker who has glasses themselves, I love that you have a shield on the side of them for cutting materials. For those who dont have the sheilds available companies sell special safety glasses to go over normal glasses to offer an extra layer of protection. Stay safe! And thank you for posting this video!
I've alway thought a wet tile saw could do this ! thxs for video ROCK ON . you hold a lot of fancy toys in ur garage ! love it !
Thanks vouyroy! Yes, any wet saw should do the trick but you do need a special blade.
Nice and to the point! No need for too much talk, images are better than words for practical projects
Thanks for the instructions. I'll be giving this a try over the weekend.
The video content doesn't cover the saw blade and the link is broken. For anyone trying to figure out the blade, she is using a Husqvarna Superlok Glass+ Fine Diamond Blade. The size of blade needs to match the saw. She has a big saw, so she is using a 10" blade.
I love bottle cutting but did not know how to cut non round bottles....Now I know. Thank you. Great video
That's looks like a clean cut.Easy and quick way.Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks so much for sharing this. I just got a wet saw cuts well until end cut and I can’t seem to keep from chipping bottle at finish point can you advise help please?
Hey great video, what type of blade did you use?
Great video! I recently purchased the Diamondback Wet tile Saw but I just ordered the Husqvarna Superlok Glass + 10" Premium Diamond Blade after watching your video since the original blade was cracking the ends of the bottle.
Do you think the already cut bottles could go through the saw again without damaging?
Caitlin, qual o modelo de maquina e se o disco de corte vem com ela?
Thanks for the video I'm going to try this tomorrow. I own that same saw from Harbor Freight and it's a workhorse, especially considering the cost.
Caitline, I just bought this saw and installed the Husqvarna Diamond blade. If I want to hold a bottle with both hands does the blade have to stay in the low locked position? I would like to have the blade clearance be higher
Caitlin, which the machine model and the blade comes with it?
Thank you for the response! I appreciate it!!
No problem! Have fun!
When I was in the Army we called those eye glasses "birth control glasses" but you look much cuter in them than we did.
What model & size saw and brand, model blade are you using? Can it make angled cuts?
I like your work
Caitlyn... exactly what saw are you using please?
Hi Caitlin! Just wondering if you ordered the Husqvarna blade online or were you able to find a retailer local to you that had the blade. Enjoyed the video! Thanks!
Hi Caitlyn!! I have been at this for a while now trying to find the best method for the smoothest cut edge to cut down my sanding time. I recently rented a tile saw from Home Depot, and I unfortunately did have some shatter. I used the blade that came with which was a diamond blade, however I am considering trying it again but purchasing the same blade you used. I couldn't really see the edges of your bottle clearly but was there much shatter or chipping?
Hi Angie, You could use any type of wet saw but you need to have a specialized blade that's made for this kind of thing. Without that blade you'll have shattering and chipping. A few of my bottles have very minor chipping but can usually be smoothed out with emory cloth or a dremmel tool. Good luck!!
will it work with a dry saw ?
gostei muito bom qual é nome do disco de corte obrigado
What blade are you using?
I just started cutting square whiskey bottles with a wet saw, but they seem to chip. Any ideas as to a solution? I have purchased a new diamond blade, of which I haven't used yet.
Can you please do a video on how to use a time saw with tiles pleaseeee
Hello, could you tell me the brand of equipment and any standard or specification of it and where I can buy it on the internet. Thanks for your support
+jorge lopez check out the end of the video. I have a supply list there! :)
Yeah I was wondering that too
CaitlinOBigelow Hi, very good informational video. But I have an important question to ask. What is the success rate of cutting wine/champaign bottles with a grinder or glass diamond blade like you use? I want to buy one only for cutting bottles but want to know first what the success rate is. Thanks!
Tattoostijl Almost every wine bottle I cut is successful. I maybe break 1 out of 20. Other special bottles can be more difficult.
Great video! I'm wanting to cut wine bottles and be able to leave the labels on...do you think the water from the saw will ruin the labels? TIA
Thanks! I've cut bottles with the labels still on and it's usually fine. If you were really worried you could tape a plastic bag over it but try a test one you don't care about and see how it goes.
Thank you! That is a great idea! :)
Hey Caitlin, I just bought the wet saw today from harbor freight and also got the Superlok Glass + Premium Diamond Blades Size: 10" x 0.085". I'm having good success with the thicker wine bottles but the thinner light green are giving me grief...chipping lots of them at the very end. Any other advice other than a good grip towards the end of the cut.. Thanks.
mrjtruitt2 with more practice you'll get better at cutting the thinner beer bottles too. Seems like you have the general technique down. Just keep a slow steady hand and even pressure. Good luck!
Nice vid didn't know it was that easy
If I can help at all, I bought the DEWALT D24000 wet tile saw and also the 10" Superlok Glass + by Husqvarna. Cutting through bottles like butter. Slow and steady with a tiny upward turn near the end.
davespeedee Hi, the problem is that the 5/8 inch arbor from the 10" superlok glass+ doesn't fit on the Dewalt D24000 here in Europe. Where did you buy your Dewalt? Because here you can only use a 1 inch harbor on the Dewalt D24000 :-((( Or did you use something special ? Thanks!
+davespeedee I have the same blade but a chicago electric saw, the blade slices through the bottles perfectly but at the very end the bottle almost jolts, resulting in a large chip, you mentioned turning it upward at the end, is that how you keep it from chipping? Also which direction to you turn it? Thanks!!
What kind of saw is that?
Caitlin, Have you ever glued glass together? What do you use? Also would it hold liquid after gluing 2 pieces together to make 1 glass ?
+NONAS Thats an interesting idea. I've never tried it. I imagine it would be difficult to find something that would be water tight. Next time I cut bottles I'll play around with it.
cut tops off of wine bottles, reverse them to make beautiful glasses, use a waterproof epoxy and u will not have any problems.
donde puedo conseguir esa maquina
Hi Caitlin.
I have a few questions for you. I have the same set up as you, saw and blade. My first question regards the blade. Once i start the cut the blade turns red like it's very hot. Is this normal? My second question is about the cut. I'm finding as I'm about to finish, the bottle will chip off at the end. Is there a trick to why this is happening? I haven't been able to cut a single bottle without it cracking. Hope you are able to send me some insight!
Thanks, Taylor
Hi Taylor, make sure water is ALWAYS running on the blade. If water isnt constantly running the blade will become too hot. The final little bit is most prone to chip, because the glass is very weak. Thin bottles (like beer) are more prone to chipping, where I've found wine bottles to be much easier. Just go slow and steady and keep a firm grip at the end. Good luck! You can also visit my website www.DIYwithCaitlin.com Cheers - C.
Caitlin,
Thanks for the feed back. We have finally perfected cutting the bottles! Your website has been a great deal of help to us.
We've got two more questions, if you are able to help us.
1.) After we cut the bottles we want to use them for drinking glasses. Do you have any suggestions for sanding the edges down smoothly?
2.) We're also cutting wine and other liquor bottles and want to preserve the labels. Any thoughts on how to achieve this? The water from the saw ruins them.
Thanks again for all of your insight and help!
@Socal Watcher Thanks! Let me know how it goes when you try with the wet saw. I've probably cut over 500 bottles by now :) Wine are the easiest! Just make sure you get the right kind of blade. That's critical.
+CaitlinOBigelow what is the brand name of the saw you use and how big is the blade on that and do you have a number to contact you with other questions
+Tony Leone Check the end of the video! I list out the equipment.
Tony please don’t be so transparent lol...number really lol
Harborfreight tile saw....best bang for your buck.
Is the glass smooth after cutting or does it have knurled edges (little pieces of glass that broke off). I am searching for a diamond blade, this one seems a good one but i want to make sure it’s cutting smooth. Do you have better pictures of the glass after the cutting? :) thank you in advance!
If you do it correctly its very smooth. I'd recommend sanding the edges down though, as the glass can still be quite sharp.
@@CaitlinOBigelow1 Hi, After watching this video a few years ago realizing it's the best, i got a cheap wet tile saw from Harbor Freight & Tools and spent about $90 on a diamond blade. Tried a few beer bottles and the cuts went great right till the end, the last little bit was causing them to shatter via the vibrations. Learned about it after the fact from mikegigi.com "A tile saw many not work on thinner glass bottles if it is too coarse and sets up shattering vibrations."
I see in the video you cut 3 bottles with eqipment that looks like it costs $1000, $333 per bottle. I'm out $200 and have zero cut bottles to show for it. Mike's webby is "Everything you ever wanted to know about glass bottles." He has a great example of how to build your own bottle neck twisting kiln like the ones the Carnies used in times gone buy. Anyway, the builds on the wooden crates are going great, no power sawing.
What about thinner bottle such as beer bottles. Will there be any problems cutting them.
Go slow and keep your blade sharp and you won't have any problems. Thinner bottles are more prone to cracking, but I've cut MANY beer bottles :)
Hello, I would like to know if this blade make a clean cut!
A blade thats made for cutting through glass will make a nice clean cut however, if youre using an older blade, run the tile saw blade through a pumice stone. This helps with keeping the blade sharp and it wont chip the bottle.. Also in the past I have put masking tape around the bottle where the cut is going to be made to avoid chipping the edges..
Hi Caitlin. Will that saw fit a JD 750ml bottle? If so what size is the saw?
Hi Matt - most likely. As you get into some of the bigger handles there isn't always enough clearance to send the bottle all the way through. I've experimented with turning the bottle to get the full cut but it's harder to line it up perfectly.
I would like to cut slices for a wind chime. Can I cut thin slices having my hand supporting one side of the bottle. Any thoughts on how thin the slices can get before breaking. I will be fusing them after cutting to soften the edges.
+Pat Marko I'd just experiment. The glass isn't going to explode. I bet you could get half and inch to an inch pretty easily. I'd just slice them like you would a salami, but insert power tools instead! Good luck.
+CaitlinOBigelow I look forward to giving it a try. I will let you know.
Hi Caitlin! I would like to know the model of this equipment and the approximate cost. Thank you.
Take a look at the end of the video!
DIYwithCaitlin
Was your diamond blade continuous, serrated, or segmented?
Continuous. It's the Husqvarna Diamond Superlok Glass Blade.
Hi Caitlin, wanting to cut 750ml patron bottles in addition to wine bottles, do you think this saw will work? Also, where did you get the stand, do I need one for this saw or can I use my utility table?
Scott Corvino I don't think a patron bottle would clear the opening. I've done handles of other alc but the Patron bottle is really wide. You could rotate the bottle but I've found it's really tricky to line the cut up perfectly. I don't think this particular stand is required but it made things easy because of the wheels.
Never used a table saw before. Got the same set up you have ready to go, what if you just adjust the depth settings? (Opposed to having it in the low lock position. Is there any reason you wouldn't do that?
Scott Corvino try it and let me know how it goes!
Hi Caitlin! What is the difference between that husquavarna blade @ $95 vs a glass tile blade @ $45? We are trying to cut whiskey bottles with a wet tile saw and are having all kinds of carnage!! Chipping fracturing ect. Any help would be appreciated !
You just answered it. It’s a better blade! Less “carnage”
@@CaitlinOBigelow1 - Is it more like sand paper? The finer the diamond grit the finer the cut? .065 on the husquavarna ... I don't even know what the amazon blades are!
Caitlin - went and bought the same Chicago Electric saw at Harbor Frieght but not having any success in cutting the bottles. Very ragged edges and some even just breaking. I bought the $30 generic diamond blade from HF, do you think that could be the issue? Probably going to have to invest in the $90 Husqvarna 10" Superlok Glass +? Is that what you use?
Any other tips would be appreciated.
I would never buy anything from Harbor freight. They sell nothing but shit
sorry but I am very passionate about this subject. I think that human beings deserve better
Im glad that you like your saw. Perhaps you got lucky. Based on my and my entire family and circle of friends past experiences I will never buy a single thing from that place.
for years I would give them one more chance. But no more. I actually bought a framing square that was out of square by an 1/8th in in 4 or 6 feel!!! I cant recall exact but it was pretty bad.
The shafts on their ele motors looks like someone filed them into round. Its just terrible
+Chris Mulcahy Buy a quality diamond blade and make sure the saw and the surface it's on is level.
Please be so kind as to let me know the model and name of the saw u r using and price also the model number of your diamond blade thanks so much............
You need this blade: www.hisglassworks.com/shop/husqvarna-10-inch-x-point-085-inch-superlok-glass-fine-diamond-blade-html.html
and any 10" tile cutting saw.
Fearless...!!!
awesome now i need a diy instruction video to making a wet saw .
+Gheorge Duarte You'd need 1st a DIY on how to obtain the brain for the job ;)
MoanikaLewinsky aha
Does anyone know if/how I could do this with a sliding Miter Saw? I need an affordable way to try out a potentially new hobby without committing to a tile saw I won't use long term. Thanks!
Caitlin - Great video! Quick question, have you ever used a Dewalt (DW4761) or Kobalt (196039 or 416268) blade to cut with? Thanks in advance!
Ok...Thanks for the help!
***** Another question as I just rec'd my Husqvarna blade today (you should get a commission!) and that is, approx. how many bottles can you cut with one blade? Do the blades wear out quickly? Thanks in advance!
.
Was wondering if you need to score the bottle first?
Nope.
Thanks, just the info i was after.
may I order one....
have you ever tried cutting beer bottles this way or is the glass to thin to cut smoothly?
You can cut beer bottles too. Just be a little more careful.
Good video. I only suggest that ear protection be added to your list of personal protection gear.
Agreed wear ear protection.....the DBS rating can be very high and affect hearing down the line..
Gave this method a shot with a tabletop 7" tile cutter and a brand new 7" Husky tile blade and the results were not clean. Cut a small Jagermeister bottle and a few Sam Adams and a Woodchuck bottle's and all exhibited chipping all around the cut. Is it a requirement for a higher RPM cutter or larger blade to cut glass? The motor on my unit is 3/4 hp. I'm wondering if the chipping is a result of cutting very thin glass? Has anyone else experienced lots of chipping on their cuts using this method?
kaotik78, what blade model did you use?
CaitlinOBigelow 7 In. Husky Tile Diamond Blade. Found the blade you referenced in the end and found a 7" equivalent. Should do the trick a bit better hopefully.
Hello Caitlin, i love it when people tell you what to do or even that you shouldn't do it. I've been trying all the other methods to cut bottles with frustrating success. I've always thought a good tile saw would work, as I've done many home improvement tile jobs. Perfect video and for all you experts out there, I will be cutting bottles with a tile saw, and I won't be using mesh gloves or gloves at all for that matter, and I know this will bother some, I'm going to turn off the saw exactly how Caitlin did, heck i might even leave it on after the cut
Could you tell me what model # Chicago Elec. tile saw that is? thanks so much.
thanks so much for getting back to me, our town just got a Harbor Freight and they had that model! i bought it. Now just just to set it up.. I have like 300 wine bottles! Thank you for your video.. did you ever have a bottle shatter or break? thanks Catilin!
do you do anything to sand the edges down?
Yes, you can use emery cloth to sand the edges which can be quite sharp!
CaitlinOBigelow would you recommend a portable table saw? I saw 7" portable wet tile saws going for less than $100 but the model you own seems to be over $1k... a little out of my price range to work on some fun projects with bottles.
Frederick Hall Jr. Hi Frederick, The nice thing about a 10" saw is that you can cut larger bottles. A 7" should be fine for wine and beer bottles though. The saw I'm using cost about $250 at Harbor Freight. You need to make sure you use a diamond blade though and those can be a little pricey (~$90-120).
CaitlinOBigelow Thank you for the info! Just to let you know your replies did go to good use...I actually went out and bout the same 10" saw at Harbor Freight. I found the Husqvarna 10" Superlok Glass+ which is made to cut glass tile. That seems like the closest match. Thank you!
Good job from lao
is this diamond blade
Yes! There's info on make and model at the end of the video.
The price of those blades!!!!
I'm just curious, Why are you cutting bottles?
Cut bottles can be recycled into all sorts of cool things like candles, sconces, vases, tumblers, and drinking glasses!
I purchased the same one and it SCARED the xxxxxxxx out of me... 😹😂🤣😹😂🤣
Do you have any suggestions for smoothing the cut? I've been using a palm sander and not happy with the results.
Hi Dean, try using your shop's DMT file, red, for fine grit.
I watched your demo again of cutting a square bottle. I am so envious, it looked so easy! I'm using a 7" Kobalt tile saw and a lower end glass blade. I can see upgrading to a 10" saw would make cutting any size or shape easier. Thanks for your suggestion.
Hearing Protection???
Hi
A couple hundred bucks will get you a tile saw like this at Harbor Freight. BTW, see it in action in Taos, NM. TH-cam, "Garbage Warriors." They build Earthships. 7,000 cut bottles in one build!
Hey Caitlin,
This one is a great video as you've given all info. I've using the basic scoring method till now, & I think its time for an upgrade now. I'm thinking of replicating the same as yours. I wanted to check if yours is the same saw as the one in the link below. The cutting depth is about 3 1/2 inches in this one right? Is this sufficient for big bottles as well?

Thanks a million!!
Hi sandy chugh, that's the one! Let me know how it goes! Make sure to get the right blade. That's the most important part! :D You'll have a blast.
CaitlinOBigelow
The Husqvarna Glass superlok + right! Any economical substitute? Do you know that I am importing the setup, all the way to India. Thanks Very Much!!!You rock!!

On repeat
I'd use mesh gloves and not turn it off the way you did-
As an experienced user, I find no fault. I've done this plenty times (tile and glass) and I've never needed mesh gloves, they're completely unnecessary in my personal experience, but if it makes you feel safer, do it. Though I don't advocate you test it, tile cutting blades won't cut your fingers with light pressure, you'd need to really ram your fingers in there to cut them. I haven't had a bottle break, but they have chipped and that's really the only reason you'd want leather or rubber gloves. Also, the running water is cold, and after prolonged use your hands get really cold, so it's a doubly good idea to wear rubber gloves.
+Sandra Nallely Glad to connect with a fellow bottle cutter! :) It's true, your hands do get cold! Do you cut bottle to sell or just for hobby...or something else entirely?
Such a dangerous way to do this and you seem very unsafe around the saw- be careful!!
+gypsyvanneraddict How would you cut a bottle in a safer way?
