I see a lot of people making recycled drinking glasses out of broken bottles. I have done some and bought a 4" blade diamond, like a dremel blade. It is 1mm thick which is 1/25th of an inch. I will let you know how I do with it. Here is the blade on my grinder (excuse the messy grinder, it is not dirty that is money)I will be pumping water on both sides of the blade at 12,000 rpms while I do this. Here is the test subjects. Seilheimer, bear mountain spring water and an Ebling. I will let you know how it does.

You planning to free-hand it? Good luck either way.

My hand is great with a grinder. 33 years of working one. I would love to get a 10" one for my wetsaw but they don't make ultra thin ones that aren't segmented. Too much vibration. I also have an abscess under tooth #30 that has me in a ton of pain. I finally got my pain medication and antibiotics today. I will be out of pain in a day or two. Man I couldn't even think. Nothing like dental pain. My jaw was locking up and popping. I never felt such excruciating pain...ever.

Good luck with the tooth (and the grinder)> My dentist prescribed 3 ibuprofen and 2 tylenol for the worst pain. Fortunately the anti-biotic knocked it out quickly.

One of the few damaged ones I kept. It's common, I just like the design (P in the middle rest?) Do you grind the circumstance f,find a match and attach it. Reread the post your making a glass. I was going nominate for GRIND MASTER if you repair bottles like that. Either way safety first waiting to see how you do.

I believe it. Just wondered if there would be any benefit to a) keeping the tool stationary and free-handing the bottle, or b) keeping the bottle stationary and free-handing the tool. Like I said good luck either way, looking forward to seeing outcomes

A little wetsaw. I see ones but they are for jewelry and expensive for what they are. Definitely would be better stationary.

Me too. My tooth hurt so much I had to go to the hospital. I got out this morning at 4am. I got 3 hours of sleep. Crazy pain.
