Diamond Blade Wet Saw for Glass
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- This cold working saw should cut glass as long it has no problems starting up? A diamond saw features a blade enriched with hard synthetic diamonds to cut through most other softer materials. Water helps ensure a smooth cut along with trapping glass dust (silica).
This tool should be used with a ventilation system (as in the video) or outside (not just for glass but normal tile as well). Eye and Ear protection is also advised for dangerous debris & excessive decibels during the cutting process.
I mainly plan to use this saw for borosilicate tubes over 14mm. Smaller tubes will still be cut with a score & break technique. I imagine this saw could be used on larger items as well such as bottles, however you would still need to polish the edge before using as drinking cups. Also this saw doesn't leave the most ideal edge for Flame Polishing if your goal is something optically clear.

It's always so much fun to treat yourself to a new toy! Good for you.
Thank you. I've got some uses for it but it won't be in all the episodes. It's good for a specific task.
Your videos have been a huge boon, thank you.
I'm always happy to help and thank you very much for your financial support!
Hi !
My apologies as my questions are likely very basic, but I am a newbie to all of this.
In fact, I just started researching wine bottle cutting in this last month or so. However, right from the beginning of my video search I saw so many cheap looking $20-$60 cutters to my surprise, and couldn’t help but think that there had to be something better out there.
Now I’m able to source out better quality video’s and I thank you for yours.
I know that this type of equipment is the route I want to go.
So, these are my questions:
1. For one, I don’t recognize what type of glass you are cutting or what you plan to make ?
2. What do you recommend as far as buying an attachable ventilation system, if there is one for the updated model for this type of a machine that you further recommended in the comments ?
3. With having bought a specific diamond glass blade, why is it necessary to run it through a dressing stone (whatever that is ?), prior to the first use ? If yes, then why doesn’t the blade come with that done already ?
I hope you don’t mind helping someone at such a basic level.
But I sure would appreciate it if you can spare a few minutes of your time.
Many sincere thank you’s 😊

Thats awesome I might have to get one
Hey Barry, I think it's going to do well for straight cuts. If you need more options there's also the ring diamond saw which cuts using a loop of diamond wire, you can cut sideways and backwards on that one. But if you need one for small jobs this saw should do, if you cut glass all day then probably something bigger would be better.
Nice vid on diamond saws!
Think you have a bad winding in the motor, a dead spot. If it stops in that area it won't have enough magnetic occilation to engage for the next pickup. Shouldn't hurt anything, but is annoying as hell, especially on a new machine. The ole ya get what ya pay for hitch. BTW thanks for being there for a new lampworker. I have enjoyed watching your vids and get inspiration regularly. Thanks again.
Hello F. Lyon DeWall, I'm thinking the same thing about the winding. It is an inexpensive saw, but I don't think it's designed to start like this. It looks like a manufacture defect, I didn't notice anyone else mention this issue. I'll work around the problem for now and just rotate it off the dead spot.
Thanks for commenting and watching the show! I'm happy to help inspire. Best of luck on your glass journey!
I have a little Harbor Freight wet tile saw that I’ve used to cut boro tubing, but it left a lot of slurry with ground glass in it, which was a pain to deal with. I didn’t know there were glass blades to fit it until I watched this video. I bought one and I’ll see if it’s any better for cutting the tubing.
I hope it's working better for you. I didn't try the factory blade; I just replaced it with the thinner one from the start.
I literally just got my saw in too
Hey Jay, Very cool! I've been talking about a saw like this for some time and finally made the purchase. Best of luck with your new saw, be careful of silica dust.
Ooooo instructions and equipment on how to flame polish a glass bottle, pretty please
Got my 3rd oxygen concentrator, wow what a difference! Made 5 more pendants today, they are selling fast! Stay melty!
That's really awesome to hear your moving some product, Good job Mike keep at it!
You definitely peaked my curiosity.
What type of skill is the concentrator for ?
What kind of pendents do you make ?
Thank you,
Julie
@@jewels64628 wow I’ve come a long way since then, I make all kinds of pendants, sea life, hollow wig wag pendants,sculptures and of course smoking accessories! Mike @ melty glassworx, p.s. I now have a 10 liter oxygen concentrator for my inner flame, and a k tank for my outer
Thanks
Feels alot longer than 2 weeks since an upload lol
Yea sorry, I need to work on my scheduling. I don't upload as often as I should.
@@MattJasa we are on your time friend
If you look at the blade underneath the nut that tightens it youll see you put it on the wrong way around as its got an arrow 🔄 but it shouldn't make too much difference just its not as manufacturer recommended.
Could you please let me know the RPM of the saw machine? can a wood cutting circular saw that operates at around 5000 rpm be used or will that be too fast ?
I need that blade please let me know how i can purchase and get it sent to kenya
Don’t have a flame torch, would I be able to use some sort of sand paper to smooth out the cut?
There are cold working methods like sanding, I believe it's called lapidary. I'm not sure of the preferred tool, possibly a Lap Wheel/Flat Lap. It uses grinding discs with water.
Where did you get the blade and the stone ?
I bought mine from Amazon. You might find some at your local hardware store.
How many bottles will it cut on average
What kind of dressing stone is that and where might I find one?
I bought mine online: MK Diamond 152792 Diamond Saw Blade 60 Grit Dressing Stone.
@@MattJasa Cheers!
My tile saw leaves pits on the inside of my bottle. I’m using a diamond saw. It really cuts great but the pits inside is not good. What can I do
Try cutting slower and keep it sharpened with the dressing stone. Besides that, maybe grind or polish the pits out with a different tool.
Can you help me purchase this blade and the dressing stone
No risk of glass dust getting on your hand? I feel like it would never come out of your skin, like asbestos
Can this tool cut heavy wall tubing?
Yes it can! The heaviest thing I've cut was a 31mm solid borosilicate rod.
@@MattJasa thanks for the reply matt I'm looking into getting one soon for a project. This video was super helpful and informative🙏
How much did that run you? Gotta link to the exact model? Never used a wet saw before in my glass work.
$85 from Amazon. It's good to note that it leaves a rough edge. My flame polishing ended up a bit cloudy. If your planning to use it for jewelry you might need to polish the edge with other methods like cold working tools.
Link for the saw and blade?
It's a cheaper saw. If I had more money would go with something heavier duty or with a pull down arm.

There is almost no risk to your fingers bro. I know it seems scary, I was bothered at first but after your fingers hits it a few times you will see there is literally nothing to it. At best a little rug burn nothing more.
Yea I trust in the safety of the blade. And although I do like to test things physically I didn't think it was necessary to test touching it as I never intend to touch a moving blade anyway.
