Can I cut glass with a MK diamond saw tile cutter?

I have some 100 year old whisky bottle necks that I want to cut off

nicely
and make hat pegs out of. I figured I would saw them at a slight

angle so
that when mounted on a flat piece of barn wood, they would point

slightly
up.

Has anyone ever cut something like this? I would make a small cradle

to
hold them and get repeatable cuts, and would use a very slow feed

with the
water spray.


You have a few options. Probably the easiest would be to bring them to
a local stained glass artisan and have them cut them on their diamond
bandsaw. I use one for those ridiculous cuts in porcelain tile. Or
you could have someone cut them on a lapidary saw (wet diamond saw used
for cutting semi-precious stones). You could probably get away with
cutting them on a diamond tile saw and grind the ends with a stained
glass grinder (Wizard is one name).
