Re: Swing Up Tool Holder as a Bottle Cutter #MISC #LATHES #MODS


 

The brass "SAFETY" handle was used in the "cutting bottles'' work
It applied pressure to the radial glass cutter by hand and left?all?
limbs clear if the glass broke prematurely while ensuring there was 100% radial score line.
A continual?radial lie was paramount?in ensuring that the bottles cleanly separated?after the?
hot and cold water dunks.
The weight of the swinging arm was not heavy enough to do this work alone, so there we go
explained I hope.
I guess it's where the saying come from,? "it just didn't cut it" LOL

That handle needs to be discussed, again.

I had wondered about the handle shown in some of the photos of the swing-up holder.? Clever!
