[privitor]

Im looking for a glass hole saw to drill the back of my tank. I priced them on ebay for 1 3/8(35mm) or 1 3/4 (45mm)saw but if someone has 1 of any size i can make it work.

pls let me know before i order a new one that i will only use once :spin2:

The ones you buy on ebay are cheap and of a cheap quality too- disposable. I buy mine on ebay, drill a few holes then throw them away. Good quality industrial glass bits are over $100 to buy.

Yes cheap ones work perfectly fine for a few holes. I used one once for 4-5 holes but near the end it was taking forever to drill a hole. I would guess only glass shops or tank builders spend big money on a industrial grade drill bits.

I should mention the 1-1/2 bit I just used in my 180g build thread was $7.00 from ebay shipped to my door!

So I was digging through my fish closet and i found a 1½" bit, dont know if its been used or really where it came from but i guess i have one. Lucky Day. Now I just need to get some modeling clay or something I can use to for a dam so i can drill the holes.

Any suggestions on where i can get something for my dam? Walmart maybe?
