I got to try to cut three bottles before it broke. My first worked great, the second scored a spiral so it failed, but the third warped the plastic enough that it no longer works.
Make sure that you don't try to cut on a bottle with a curved shape. My third attempt was on a bottle that got wider before it got narrow again. When I tightened it down the plastic holding the scorer warped, now the thing can't put enough pressure on a bottle to score it. I tried to fix it, but ended up just throwing it away.
Tightened the cutter down, measured the sides so they were adjusted evenly, held the bottle in place and spun the cutter. One application of boiling water and cold water. The bottle actually just fell apart perfectly
I was one of the original Kickstarter backers of this guy. My first couple of bottles worked out ok, then I had about 10 bottles shatter in my hand, in a row. Haven't touched it since.

Making sure your line is spot on and being patient with the hot/cold water helps a lot. Also thicker glass like wine bottles take longer but tend to work better than beer bottles in my experience (though I've cut quite a few beer bottles successfully there is a higher failure rate). Very much a practice makes perf... err... better thing 😉
Cut proof gloves (or just decent leather work gloves) will prevent most injuries.
Just recently got mine. Started testing it with some boring beer bottles before trying it on a nicer bottle. The first one worked great. All the following ones I couldn't get it to make a nice circle around it. It always scored a spiral up or down the bottles, no matter how precisely I leveld it.
Any tips?
ferretallicaAlmost certain that is a cheap knock off that won't last long. May look nice but materials used and construction are less adequate and will most likely break or wear out in a short period of time. Also the end result may not be as good as the original manufacturers product.
