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.

@RobertShaverOfAustin 4 года назад

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.

@glanzaguy9187 3 года назад

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.

@MarcRitzMD Год назад

In case anyone is wondering, these are called glove boxes or still-air boxes in microbiology. The easiest variant would entail something like a cardboard box with the top open and two holes for the arms on one side, then lay something transparent on top to look through

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.

I'm new to Dremels, but this thing has been great. ru-vid.comUgkxfPgcZ5_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.

@skyguy1990 3 года назад

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.

@LMde20 4 года назад

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.😁

Loving hearing this history :) This is why I love my Dremel, it’s been a very useful tool for stuff like this 😁

@snorttroll4379 Год назад

Is there a market for a better rotary tool? one that is brushless, wireless and very robust? one that oozes quality with the right colours and the best ergonomics? I want one. If there is a market I might want to get some made.

Thank you for mentioning that swap meet! I'd never heard of anything like it before, so I had no idea what to even look for.

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.

@SparkeyDogfish 4 года назад

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.

@asuna5535 4 года назад

Adam you probably won't see this, but I have been watching you, and Myth Busters ever since I was 3 I am 15 now, and you still inspire me to this day though your You Tube videos and the best show ever made Myth Buster's. Thank you so much. :3

Why is it that every time I see something like this I immediately look for it on the Internet even though I really have no need for most of it. But now I know it's out there!

Great story. I enjoyed the video. Thanks.

I know you and Jamie didn’t always get along, put you obviously have an inherent respect and love for him. That’s beautiful to see. That just because you “get along” with someone, you can still respect/love them.

@edwinbarreto58 2 года назад

Absolutely BRILLIANT! By the way, I am a middle school science/STEM teacher and am a major fan of you and your show.

I once went to a State Fair in New Mexico and watched a demonstration from Rodman tools where the sales man drilled holes through everything (a file, glass, ceramic, another drill bit form another manufacturer) with the drill bit he was selling. I was immediately taken by the versatility of these drill bits and bought the lowest price set he had over 100 bucks but, at the end of the day I still have the bits and that was over 30 years ago. Sometimes you find gold in the weirdest places. Thanks for the awesome and motivating tool videos..

=Exactly= what I needed for making my glass packed reflux still from a large wine bottle. Champion Adam, thanks.

@lochinvar00465 3 года назад

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'm a soft glass worker (furnace and blow pipes and punties etc) I whole heartedly agree with the usefulness of the Dremel tool. Just like drawing with a stylus.

@pashaveres4629 Год назад

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

Nice Cutting-Edge tool-Tip Adam! Love the demo too :) I'll be investing in one of those!

@NLGREGG 4 года назад

That is so crazy seeing a material like glass being worked that easily

@kiwdwks 4 года назад

Awesome...appreciate your knowledge/wisdom! Thank you.

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 !

I think this guy would be like in my top 3 people I'd like to meet. I love the way he just loses track in what hes talking about, hes got a lot to show and I like that
