Today I'll show you the easiest and most effective way to cut a glass bottle, which will lead to the desired result in 99% of cases.

The general can be perfectly cut glass? Of course, glass cutter! Here it is exactly what we need. But do not be upset in advance to cut glass bottle glass cutter, you do not need to be a professional carver. In this case, consult anyone.

In order to cut the bottle, you can use any glass cutter, but is best suited oil.

Yet, we need a small width or a piece of plywood board of 20 cm and a length of 40 - 50 cm, as well as two pieces of wood thickness of 2.5 - 3 cm.

With the help of screws fastened to the plywood bars in the form of the letter "G". Short bar will serve as a support for the bottom of the bottle, and at the long bar is mounted glass cutter.

Secure the glass cutter can be via a conventional bracket or a thin metal plate. Expose it so that the video played for the bar of 2 mm. Length expose, depending on the bottle size and incision site. Thus we get the simple butylkorez!

Now take the bottle and tightly are putting it to the bars, but not very much. Holding the bottle with both hands, gently begin to rotate it toward you, and you will hear the distinctive sound of the cut. Thus we cut the bottle in a circle until the cut lines do not coincide, and cut through even a little further by 1 - 2 mm. Making it the first time, be sure to wear gloves.

After the need to heat the cutting line. I used this dry fuel, but you can take an ordinary candle.

If you overheat the bottle, it can go cracks across the surface. Just because of this error, I got a bottle of perfectly cut only the third time. But then I did not have a single miss. All bottles (even with thick glass) broke clear of the cut line.

At the end there will be only sanded the sharp edges on sandpaper dipped in water, and all glass or vase ready!
