After discussing a project idea with a QEP representative,
he assured me that yes, I could cut a glass bottle on my 7"
wet tile saw. Though a diamond bit blade is available for this
particular model, I tried the existing tile blade which came with
the saw, and if this one cuts like butter, I can just imagine how
smoothly a diamond blade would cut.
For reference, I have the QEP 7" wet tile saw from Lowe's - $88.00.
Comes with two blades. Sets up in minutes and you are on your way.
Wear hearing, eye and breathing protection and wear an old smock -
you're going to get wet. Not too bad, though.
A beer bottle cut in half quite well. This is going to open the
door for so many craft ideas. Even my father thought they would
make nifty juice glasses if sanded well. Surprisingly, just the rough
cut came out very smooth on my first try. A steady and slow hand
and it can be done!
Tressa Prisbrey would be proud!
