Glass bit

[smmscott]

Hello all,

I am in the need of a glass hole saw for a new tank I just got and would like to drill. Anyone out there I could borrow/rent. Or maybe have a good source? Thanks and have a good one.

Really cheap bits. I have picked up 3 different sizes from them. Shipping takes about 7 business days since it comes from overseas.

They sell the same bits on ebay too. Lau is the seller I think. The only downside is the bits aren't made to last. For what we need them for they work. You should be able to get 6-10 holes per bit depending on the thickness of the glass.

Just make sure its not tempered. This was a friend of mines 55 he wanted to drill. The sticker that was on the bottom was moved to the side panel that shattered for a laugh.

Check with Hector at Tropical aquarium. He drilled mine and had the bulkhead and everything I needed right there.....Good deal...

Thanks. I will give hector a go and probably order mine.

You would think if the sides were tempered too the label would say bottom and sides not just bottom.

I just finished drilling my tank. I have a 1.75" bit from Lau if you need to use it. It fits the Sch 80 1 inch bulkhead.
