glass cutting for sump

[baxterdawg]

I am getting back in the hobby after several years and am going to be making a custom sump out of a 10 and 20 gal tank. I wanted to see if anyone in the area has had experience with cutting holes in glass to insert a drain line and has a glass cutter. I am new to the area and don't know anyone in town, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I live around the south county area.

Not in your area but I cut many a hole in 10g tanks witha Dremel bit and it worked just fine. The thread of the tank cuts is here I'll see if I can't locate it for you.

The bit is a 7150 ... Here's a link to what we cut.

There are a few stores that can cut it for you for about $15 each hole. Marine Solutions and I beleive Beldts both drill tanks.
