will a laser cut through glass??

[Martin Boekers]

Back in the 1970's They had bottle cutters (Maybe Ronco) A quick search brought these up.

I'm sure one of these will provide a quick method....

Some here have funded their lasers through Kickstarter. Here is a bottle cutter offered there....

(it's a long video, but worth watching if you are interested in cutting bottles).

Thanks for the link.
The boiling- / cold water method works clean and easy
I made a springloaded glasscutter on my lathe.. That worked real fine.
Also tried to carve around a bottle on the rotary of my laser. Eventualy is cracked along the "carve" but with some sidecracks..
Maybe a bit less power and more speed...
What could be the difference between a glasscutter-carve and a laser-carve??
In both cases the surface and carve looks the same
