Blown glass breaks very easy.
I think it's because of the small
bubbles in the glass.
They heat up when cutting and expand
and then the glass cracks.
So sure you can put a hole in a real float at a rate
of 4 out of ten good cuts.
Put an old blown glass bowl in the microwave and see what you get.
A pissed off wife that's what you get, cuz you just broke her bowl.
Plus a lot of the "glass floats" you see these days are thin Mexican
blown glass.
Not that thick Coke bottle type of the past.
The old Coke bottle type are even harder to cut cuz they are three times as thick.
It's very rare to see a real glass float light in the bars of old.
