i'm trying to remove about 15% of the top plastic cover so it fits inside a fixture (doesn't have to be accurate, just even). I have a battery drill and some stone grinding bits in different shapes (cylindrical, cone shape, spherical). would it work?
>>2813005Maybe pipe cutter would help? They're designed flr cutting perfect lines through round plastic pipes
>>2813006that's a good idea, but i don't have one.
>>2813005Drill is kind of the hardest tool you could have. A chrap handsaw or it's equivalent powertool would probably work much better. Saw is also such a common tool you'd want to own one regardless of lightbulb shenanigans
>>2813008so these wouldn't work?
>>2813010Maybe with a ton of patience and air full of plastic dust, but I'd just get the right tool for the job
The way you'd use a drill is to chuck the bulb base into the drill, mount it in a vise and then very precisely/carefully touch a hacksaw blade or plexiglass cutter to it as it's turning
>>2813010They will melt the plastic rather than cut it.
>>2813005I know it's not exactly safe, but I just smacked one with a hammer to remove theglass so it would fit in a dome.
>>2813007lol>best way to evenly cut a plastic bulb with stuff i have>i dont have anything btw>thanks in advanceget a fucking job and buy the correct size bulb you broke ass retard.. cutting a bulb is fucking completely retarded
>>2813005the irony is it would be simple if it was glass. you'd just need a string and some alcohol.
>>2813005pic rel is usually glass
>>2813005why would you not just buy the right fucking bulb?
>>2813005>best way to evenly cut a plastic bulbHeat up the bulb plastic maybe about 150 F in the oven then use some wood to bend it to shape. NO cutting.
>>2813460well anon. i tried finding one that will fit inside the fixture, with wattage above f'ing 6 watts and a clear globe, but couldn't. and don't bother showing me an amazon link cause they prob don't ship it to romania. >>2813450>pic rel is usually glassno, i banged on it a couple of times. it is plastic.>>2813288>get a fucking job and buy the correct size bulb you broke ass retard.. cutting a bulb is fucking completely retardedyes anon, i am retarded. you're right about everything. thank you.
is it not possible to modify the fixture to accommodate the bulb you have?
