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.

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!!!!!!

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