Thanks @Silver it was a joint effort and it took a lot of time sorting and correcting the stone,bit its done and they're happyWell done @Resistance !
Hi @StewHi all. I want to cut the bottoms of some glass bottles as cleanly as possible and as close as possible to the bottom. I want the bottoms to use as spacers on top of some fermenting and pickling projects for food preserves. Importing them isn't cost effective. Anyone with some experience?
Preferably with no fancy gadgets.
I have done two with a hot wire on a battery charger but keeping the wire taught and straight on glass isn't easy. Tried holding the wire with insulation tape but it is the first to burn.
I did find a flapper disc on an angle grinder cleans them up quite well.
Thanks in advance.
@Stew the same rule applies. I've done that before and it's a bit easier getting that part off the rest of the bottle due to the thicker glass.This is more or less what I want but from a few different sized bottles to fit a few different size jars.View attachment 272711View attachment 272712

I use a R50 angle grinder sanding padView attachment 272717
OK this one is R94. I paid R50 a while back. It can be used in an angle grinder or a drill with the mandrel attached
@Stew, morning. Get one heavier than 100, maybe the 50 gritty for sanding down and then the 100 should polish it reasonable good.Fantastic. Thanks @Resistance Looks like some great suggestions.
Thanks. Will do.@Stew, morning. Get one heavier than 100, maybe the 50 gritty for sanding down and then the 100 should polish it reasonable good.
My suggestion for cutting the bottle is to score the bottom where you want it cut and just breaking the bottle in a bag. Creates less mess.
That's unless you want to use the rest of the bottle.
Ps. Use light oil on the glass cutter wheel. It gives you a better score line and a cleaner break.
