This tool tip was learned the hard way by Adam on a job he did (with Jamie!) many years ago that required precision carving around a glass bottle. Back then, the job took hours and hours with careful and stressful application of a circle cutter. And it was only afterward that Adam learned about the efficiency and precision of a hardened steel glass cutting bit for his Dremel rotary tool. Let's watch a demonstration of this tool that shows why Adam always has a few on hand in his shop!

I’ve made lots of cuts and holes in glass and I’d like to suggest something: get an extension cable to the rotary tool where any electrical components are further from the cutting head. Then get a tray or any kind of plastic container that will fit your glass object and your hands comfortably. Fill the tray with water and work with the object as submerged in water as possible. If you can’t keep it submerged, keep most of it and dunk it as you work. The water will lubricate the glass and the bit, yes, but it will also keep both cool, which means you can use more pressure on the glass and cut faster. Besides, the water will hold all the glass dust, which will sink to the bottom, keeping your air free of glass dust and making it much easier to clean up afterwards.

Yeah, that's called professional respect. It's something I wish people today would understand. You can work and respect the abilities of a pro you are working with, but at the same time don't like them personally for any number of reasons. I find too many people are in this all or nothing mode. I think it comes from the office hiring world where they hired for "fit", meaning everyone should work together but also be friends. Old school was , do you job, and if you are friends after, good. If not, don't let it mess with the job.

Fifty years ago I watched my father drill holes in a glass mirror so he could mount it on the wall. He used a drill press with a large table extension on it. He put the mirror on the table protected on the bottom by a towel. He chucked up a piece of copper pipe with a diameter he wanted the hole to be. He put water on the mirror with some fine grinding compound in it right where he wanted the hole with the drill/pipe right above it and began to grind a hole through the mirror. It took a long time with a light pressure but it worked every time. That's how they did that back then. Maybe there are better ways now. Adam's method looks pretty good too.

I have successfully used a piece of steel tubing of the appropriate outside diameter with the end cut squarely. I turned it with a drill press using a slurry of carborundum powder and water. When drilling flat or convex glass, such as into the side of a bottle, I used a putty ring to form a crater around the drill to act as a dam for immersion of the tubing "bit" in cooling water.

Adam, you need a closed plexiglass box in which you insert your hands from outside (like the microbiology labs) to do these glass dust jobs (which are a serious hazard even when you are done. Its better to keep glass dust contained and much easier to collect and dispose. You can use that plexiglass box for a ton of other projects.

Ahh the wonders of the Dremel. My favourite small tool. I've found that no matter how thick or thin, if you can fill the vessel you're cutting with water ( you can also use a clear oil as lubricant) you almost never have problems with chipping or, more importantly, cracking at.breakthrough. Even on something as fine as a light globe .The water distributes both heat and vibration more evenly and away from the glass A piece of clear tape can avoid cracks and slipping at the beginning too. It allows for a little faster.cutting. Thanks, I Love all your tips Adam. I can use all the help I can get.😁

I'm new to Dremels, but this thing has been great. kzfaq.infoUgkxfPgcZ5_Cl0HDUKkMJAKde11YKQZVgMoR The variable speed is awesome and the cordless aspect makes it so easy to work with. I am constantly finding uses for it that make tasks easier. Recently I put in a new deadbolt on one of our doors. I knew I had to enlarge the hold where the deadbolt goes into the door frame. At first I thought I would have to get a big router and figure out how to use it for that, but then I rermembered we have the dremel. I was able to enlarge the hole almost as easy as if I was drawing with a pen. It's also great for grinding our dog's nails done and so many other household tasks.

Hey Adam, Dremel also has some fine point, diamond bits that are great for drilling small holes in delicate glass. That is best done with the flex tool extension and submerge the piece of glass just under a bit of water, which also keeps everything cool to avoid thermal breakage.

I don't have the space for a full-fledged shop like this right now, but I have part of a room devoted to miniature wargame modeling, and your shop gives me great ideas for how to organize stuff. I've been a model maker ever since I was a kid and My mom taught me how to make plastic and balsa wood airplanes. My son watched your video on Lego organizing with me, and it inspired him so much. He said, "Wow, that makes me really want a shop like that so I can make stuff." He thinks your shop looks organized but "cozy." He is 16 and I am happy to see him inspired in this way. He also enjoyed The story behind the sign! Thanks for all the great videos, and keep 'em coming!

As someone starting out as a machinist, I can totally relate to using up all of your luck on the first piece of a batch. Doing something right the first time is always satisfying, but achieving the repeatability with equal or less effort in its subsequent parts can be pretty humbling pretty quick!

This reminds me of when there was a co-worker trying to drill out a bolt that lost its head. Carefully over the course of 2 weeks in his spare time finally getting it out safely (it was a hardened steel bolt stuck in a $10,000 housing that he was trying to not damage). I brought him a second one to fix about a week after he fixed the first one and I could see him considering quitting over this happening again. And I asked him where his easy outs were. Turned out he had no clue what I was talking about so I told him to wait until tomorrow and I would bring mine in so he wouldn't have to waste any time. after seeing me remove the bolt in about 4 seconds he offered me $200 for the miracle tool. After telling him that they were like $10 he started the longest string of expletives I think I have ever heard.

I engrave metal and I have read several books about etching glass. I have tried it unsuccessfully more than once. Before I watched this YT I would have said what I say you do was impossible. Thank you for sharing a very cool tool tip!

My folks bought me a fluke series 10 when I was a teen. I still have it, I still use it, I still love it. Absolutely agree invest in the best tool you can afford which is the right tool for the job.

Nice story. Awhile back I came across a set of these bits and I remember my first cut I was very surprised at how well they worked.

I made a bong from a vase with this method when I was 17. Secretly in the basement in the hope I could sneak the thing unseen to my room. It worked! I made the bowl from a piece of oak with a proxxon mini lathe from my dad haha

I remember drilling a hole in a wine bottle for a power cord to make a lamp.I used a masonry bit to do the job. It was a bit tricky but it worked quite well. But THAT, would have been a lot easier.. So cool you share your tips Adam. Much appreciated.

I don't have a Dremel, nor would I have the need to ever bore a hole into the bottom of a bottle, and yet here I am watching Adam do it. And I was fascinated the entire time.

And WOW! Adam, every time I watch a kick-ass demo of yours, and then go to the Amazon link to check it out -- it says " CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE - we don't know when this item will be back in stock." You are single-handedly reviving the economy.

Hi Tested I'd like to drop the first few ideas I had to complete the Perrier bottle project : - Circular steal pipe of the wanted diameter heaten to 1800°C gently making a hole - Carving with semi precious stone surfacing tools (which is similar to what you used) - Make a (hard plaster) 2 part mold of the bottle and use sugar to make a new one. - Make a lather tool with diamond powder cemented to a steel carving tool. You talked about cooling the glass earlier, I don't think you want to keep the glass cooled as it enhance tensions inside it and makes it more even to break. Love the videos, cheers !

We use to have a monthly Ham Radio swap meet here in Dallas. In the late 80’s I was doing the same crazy thing and getting up at 4:00 AM just so I could get the good stuff. My favorite purchase was a microwave down converter kit built on the bottom of a coffee can which was essentially a feed horn. It would pick up a local pay TV channel. Being in college at the time I was quite popular in the dorm on late Friday nights. Let’s say the movies became more adult the later you watched.

Experimenting with the sand-blasting cabinet in the sculpture studio I found that it was possible to puncture a jar in about five seconds. Probably woulda' done the bottom of the Perrier bottle in under a minute. Mucho admiration for your sticking it out to complete the second bottle. Aloha
