Hi and thanks for your comment. Yes, 180 or 200 grit would work just fine. Good luck!

Hi Walter, Thanks for your comment and question. So the way it works is that there is a bucket under the tile saw filled with water. It has a hose that draws the water up and onto the blade and cutting surface. This keeps it cool and enables the blade to cut smoothly. There is a catch basin under the blade and the push platform that catches the spent water that needs to be emptied periodically. I hope this answers your question. Feel free to reach out if you have additional questions.

Thanks very much.@@RedClayCandles

Yep, it's just a plain electric drill with a round sanding disk. Thanks for your question.

@@RedClayCandles What grit and type of paper are you using for the sanding?

Thanks for your question. Just regular water to keep the metal dust down and also to keep the can from getting hot.

Hi and thanks for your comment. Yes, I've been much happier with this method of cutting glass compared to some of the other more manual techniques. Its a little pricier but the results are great. Feel free to reach out if you have more questions!

Thanks for your comment, Jonathan! Sounds like a worthy endeavor. Best of luck and don't hesitate to reach out if I can help answer any questions.

Hi and thanks for your comment. I apologize for the long delay in responding. I somehow missed your comment when you first posted it. First, good for you to pick up all that discarded trash. As for a Harbor Freight alternative, there are many. The two main keys are to make sure it is a WET tile saw meaning it has a way to continuously feed a stream of water. This is usually accomplished by having a bucket filled with water and simply dropping the included hose into the bucket to draw the water out. Next, and EQUALLY IMPORTANT, is to make sure you replace the blade that comes with the wet tile saw with a diamond-tipped wet saw blade specifically made for cutting glass. They are not as expensive as the sound. Usually around $55 +/- for the 10" size. If you find a set-up you would like my opinion on, I'd be happy to provide feedback. I would think Harbor Freight has a replacement but I've also seen similar, albeit more expensive, alternatives at Home Depot and Lowe's. Of course, Amazon is an option too. I hope this helps!

Hi Chad - thanks so much for your inquiry. YES, this setup works well with odd-shaped and square bottles. Some shapes are easier to cut than others. The main challenge is pushing the bottle through at a right angle. Other than Jack Daniel bottles being somewhat thin in terms of glass thickness, they are fairly easy to cut. Your questions would make for a good video. Stay tuned... ;-)

My canopener opened like 10 and then it stopped cutting anymore. That's why. My can opener is like a really old model, really tough and good and I almost ruined it. the new hand canopeners can't even cut the lids off like my old model, so I need a new method. I probably won't use this method since I don't have a giant vice grip , or a flat sander disk to use. i'll probably just use the sandpaper method from the previous video. but this looks like you could get through a bunch of cans at once.

Thank you for your comment! I'm glad it worked well for you.

Thanks for commenting, Darrell!

Thank you so much for commenting! I'm glad you like it.

I'm so glad it was helpful and thanks so much for sharing your comment! Good luck with the candles!!

My pleasure. I hope you found it useful.

My pleasure! Thanks for commenting!!

Hi Jennifer, Thanks so much for the question. I think it would be hit or miss given how small the cut would be but it would be a fun challenge. I will give it a shot and report back. Just curious, what would be the intended purpose? Perhaps jewelry? Thanks again for the interaction. -Andy

i would put them in my kiln to melt down to rings for pendants or wind chimes

@@theglasshopper OMG... so funny you mentioned that. I actually used to have a kiln myself for slumping bottles into different things. I did experiment with cutting the tops off of wine bottles into rings and they came out great. They worked better than beer bottles because they were a little thicker. They made great pendants. So given your application, I think they would work great.
