The diamond blade and the cutting area must be cooled with cold water. Since I don't have a workshop, I had to do it in the kitchen. I turned on a thin stream of cold water, placed the bottle under it and began to cut. If you have a suction cup vise, you can place it on the bottom of the sink and secure the bottle in it.
There will be a lot of splashes! Take care of your kitchen and cover it with some kind of film.
