Thanks John, I'll have a look at "Special Tools".

Jan, Very inventive. That is the kind of ingenuity I greatly admire. It is simple, elegant and much safer than freehand. Thank you for sharing an excellent idea and a very straight forward design. I hope you will also post it to the "Special Tools" blog.

Thanks, Jan. I just ordered a set of these cutoff wheels and arbors. Looking forward to making some slides.

Hi Jan

Great jig. What kind of cutoff wheel did you use?

Thanks for your help.

Nice Jig!

Also I found out that wrapping with cellotape prevents the edges from chipping to much. There are still little pieces coming off but usually the cuts are quite nice and don't need much smoothing afterwards.

Perfect! I'm gonna build one today. Got a bunch of bottles waiting to be cut, but my old way didn't work very good. I was getting 1 out of 3 at best that didn't shatter. thanks for the info!!!!!!
