Self made tube-glass cutter

[Jan Ridders]

Hi All,
Because I make all kinds of tube glass parts for my models I made a simple tool for cutting glass tubes. I used available materials and a small diamont cutting disc driven by my Dremel hand tool, cooling is with water droplets; see picture below:
You can see and read all about it on my web site; page:

Friendly greetings from Holland,
Jan Ridders

As fine a piece of work as your engines.

I ran across this thread recently and was so impressed by the design that I decided to build one of my own. By using a larger diameter cutting disk I was able to eliminate the belt drive arrangement and simplify the build a little. Below is a link to the build on my website, and a couple of pictures.
