Device for cutting plastic bottles into a tape [Instruction]

In the center of the bar, it is necessary to make a recess with dimensions of 50 mm.

Next, the bar is clamped in a vice and a recess is made in it with the help of a saw.

At a distance of 5 mm from the deepest point of the slot, there are several grooves for the blade. The distance between the grooves is also 5 mm.

The depth of the grooves is chosen so that the blade enters them completely, so their depth should be 17 mm.

The bar is again clamped in a vise and with the help of a saw, holes are made for the blade.

Next, you need to use sandpaper to clean all the slots.

Using sandpaper, clean out all the recesses and grooves.

As a result, the bar acquires a better appearance.

To prevent the blade from falling out, it is necessary to install clamps. As such, two nails about 80-100 mm long are ideal. They should be hammered 5 mm below the level of the recess and bent up.

After that, it is recommended to expand the recess made at the beginning. This is necessary so that the bottle moves freely when cut and does not cling to anything. You can make an extension with a saw.

To cut a bottle, a blade must be installed in the bottle cutter. It is installed with the cutting side down.

The next step is to place the bottle in the slot.

Cutting is done by simply pulling the tape towards you.
