The Kinkajou has been designed to cut round bottles from the smallest beer bottle to large 1.5 liter magnums (43mm to 102mm). 

Unfortunately this version of the Kinkajou can only cut round bottles. I have some ideas on creating a cutter that cuts other shapes but this is currently not available.

The stencils and paints are used to permanently mark the bottles. Once the bottle is painted, place the bottle in the oven to bake the paint on. It then becomes dishwasher safe and you are free to design your bottles as you like.

The Kinkajou will come with an industrial grade 9.9 millimeter carbide cutting wheel. I don’t have an exact number of bottles but it should be in the hundreds. A replacement cutting wheel will also be available.

My success rate with my prototype was very good, the final product is better. That being said the more bottles you cut, the better you get at it, and you start to get a feel for it. The success rate then starts to climb easily into the 95 % range.

We've had many requests from various companies expressing interest in carrying the Kinkajou. Please visit the wholesale page for more details. 

We have purposely had the cutting wheel removed from the hand tool because it is not needed with the kinkajou. We include this tool for the small slots that can be used to break off some of the edges that may be left over after the separation process.
