Upgrade Glass Cutter Tool - 2mm-20mm Cutting Range

oneofmuchoneofmuch: Die ersten 3 Versuche gingen in die Hose, das mag aber auch an der verwendeten Flasche gelegen haben, mit unterschiedlicher Dicke, sicht- und fühlbaren Nähten und eine Mess-Skala, der einmalige und gleichzeitig durchgängige Messer-Ritz war da kaum anzubringen.

Schon bei der zweiten Flasche gelangen dann zwei Schnitte bestens, siehe Foto, einmal in Bodennähe, einmal am Hals.

Die Umstellung des Geräts war dabei etwas fummelig, wer öfter umbauen muss (z.B. für Boden und Hals) wünscht sich eher "Schnellverschlüsse" für Rollen und Messer. Ich schaue mal, was ich da selbst bewerkstelligen kann.
Auch werde ich mir einen zweiten Anschlag für die andere Seite bauen. Der vorhandene ist zwar gut, doch ist er je nach Nutzung zu weit weg oder zu nah dran.

Dennoch - vor allem für den Preis - ein sehr empfehlenswertes Produkt mit gutem Zubehör (Handschuhe, Ersatzteile, separater Glasschneider...), das durchaus aus- und umbaufähig ist - bzw. Ideengeber für einen Eigenbau.

Mirasol: I haven't used it yet, I purchased for cutting picture frame glass and cutting glass to size to replace missing panes on an old hurricane lantern. It was carefully and timely delivered. Has its own sturdy plastic storage case.

morningsunmorningsun: This is my first time cutting aquarium glass and it's a bit taunting. The hardware store brand just adds discouragement to my project. I keep breaking the glass and almost gave up, then I tried this one. Holy cow, it make difference night and day.
Comparing this to the local hardware. This one is so much better in every way. It's the same cost as hardware store, but this one cut so much better. It has a slim profile for more precise cut. It has three glass thickness blade to choose from, an oil reservoir and a nice holder to keep them all in place.

Amazon Customer: The kit contains everything you need to cut a straight line around a circular glass bottle. It's sturdy and has a non-slip bottom. The rubber rings prevent spider cracks from developing. The gloves give a sure grip. The sandpaper included does a good job smoothing rough edges. The rollers and cutting wheel are difficult to adjust, so switching from one size bottle to another is cumbersome. Roller must be completely removed from the frame then re-attached in another place on the slot. That's why 4 stars instead of 5. But with practice, it's probably not as big a problem to adjust as it is for a "newbie" like me. Listen to what the seller says about water temperature! "Hot" water isn't good enough. Must be boiling or close to it. Same with "cold" water. Must be icy. And yes, you will probably break the first few bottles you try to cut. It's important to "Goldilocks" the pressure you apply to the cutting wheel to the thickness of the glass (Not too hard; not too soft). And that takes patience and practice.

Catatonic27Catatonic27: I've had this thing for a while and I've gotten pretty good at using it, so I'd say I'm pretty happy with the product. It works well, it had held up for a while so far, and it's pretty fun to cut bottles.

I was getting pretty uneven cuts at first and it seemed like I was always breaking bottles or cracking little notches out of the sides, and the biggest thing that helped me was to not put so much pressure on when doing the cutting. It's a little misleading because you're "cutting" with a "blade" and it's easy to imagine that the scoring phase is doing the heavy-lifting in the cutting process but it isn't. The cold and hot water are doing 90% of the work, the blade really is just for telling the water what to break and how, you don't need much pressure at all.

It seems like higher scoring pressure just stresses the glass out and increases the risk of cracking, but light pressure gives a nice, even line. Then 3-4 cycles of very hot water and very cold water do most of the work of breaking the glass in a crisp clean line via magic.

My biggest struggle now is getting the (very sharp!) edges smooth. The method of wet sandpaper on a flat surface works, but it takes...
