My First Drilling....

madhouse · 07-26-2006, 06:22 PM

Jus listened to what people had to say about it ... start almost perpendicular to the tank and work my way up... and used duct tape behind the hole so i dont have glass bits everywhere... works fine and no leaks....

Mad you got the hole saw from ebay? If not give us the info for others to know. Good job, glad it turned out ok.

how many panes of glass can you drill through w/ one of those bits (or is that a dumb question)?

I am going to drill my tank at some point and might end up DIY- but want to practice 1st!!

-anyone on the drill bits?

simike · 07-27-2006, 12:08 PM

reefer are you asking how many at one time, or if it is a one time use bit. i would think they can be at least used several times till they wear out. i may assume that the diamond coating may wear down and take longer to drill

Reefer420 · 07-27-2006, 12:53 PM

yeah- how many can you drill not at once, but over time... i want to practice on a few pieces 1st before my tank...but I dnot' want to start on my tank with a worn down bit!
