Reddit mentions of Kinkajou Bottle Cutter-Deep Black

I used this guy which worked soooooo much better than using the "dip a string in lighter fluid" method.

I broke the project into 4 steps:

1. Use the Kinkajou device to score a line on the bottles.
   
2. Use cut grocery bags and painters tap to cover the labels (we found out the hard way that the water part ruins labels very quickly)
   
3. Do the actual cutting (AKA pour boiling water over the score line, then dip the bottle in a pitcher of ice water, repeat until it snaps at the score line)
   
4. Sand with 80, 100, and 150 grit sand paper.
   
   This was my end-result process. I tried a few different ways, but this was the most efficient. I started with about 50 bottles, and ended up with about 25, so I had about a 50% success rate, which I call a win! :D

Now I usually cut with electric tile cutter and sand on DIY flat lap, but for someone looking to only do straight cuts and not make the glasses for sale I'd say go with one of the jigs available and then just do the hot-cold water routine, a candle or a jet butane torch over the score line.

Alternatively, you can also make a jig yourself, it's not that hard and will probably save around $30.

I always thought getting something like this and turning them all into drinking glasses would be a cool idea. Havent done it yet though

GD: Been cutting wine and liquor bottles with my Kinkajou Bottle Cutter and making home made candles all day. Very satisfying to get a clean score line and break!

Get it from Amazon for $49.99 + $7.62 for shipping.

You're welcome.

How often do you brake glass using a saw? Right now I use a kinkajou glass cutter and fracture the glass with hot water. I get ~95% success rate using this method.
