Tank Drilling around Montgomery

[will46r]

Anyone around Montgomery drill tanks? I have a 20H I need 3 or 4 holes drilled in. Plan on using 3/4" bulkheads. Thanks, Will

You can order a bit from Glass Holes and drill it yourself if you cant find anyone close. Just an idea.

Yeah... sigh. Time to get the dremel and diamond bits out.

There very easy to drill if you have the right bit I drill tanks weeky just becarefull the glass on the smaller tanks is thin so dont put pressure let the drill do the work

I've got a diamond bit for drilling 3/4" bulkheads. I'm in Auburn.

I've got three or four diff sized diamond holesaws, What is the OD of the bulkhead's you are using?

Gary, I'm going to do some Home Depot DIY bulkheads so I'll get back with you on the size. Anyone locally have 3/4 loc line at a decent price?

That I'm not sure of. I think Aq Fant has some, but not sure about Wet Pets.

Got it drilled and ghetto bulkheads and stuff trial fitted. Harbor Freight came through! Drilling was a lot easier than I thought, water, slow speeds and classic rock!

Yup. If you can drill from inside the tank (panel you're drilling out resting on the table/surface), you can usually get away with drilling thinner glass, too.
