Tank Drilling Victoria Australia

[Duzzy73]

Hi there,

was wondering if anyone knows where I can get a 4x2x2 rimless tank drilled in Victoria Australia. I’ve never done it and it makes me feel sick drilling into a brand new tank.

regards Duzzy

I would ask your local LFS.

I’ve drilled a few tanks without issue, but the largest was a 40 Breeder.

Id love to do it perhaps I could get an off cut of glass and try it.

The Most Important Thing— Don’t rush, just let the weight of the drill do all the work, and lubricate the bit with water.

@Duzzy73 make sure the part of the tank you're planning on drilling is NOT tempered glass. If it is, it will shatter when you try to drill it.

Thank you, it’s having the guts to try it.

My first time was with a brass bit while on a job with the boss.
No problem, just took my time.Take a deep breath and go for it!
