cutting class with a dremel

[aaron]

I know i have asked this question before but can someone remind me what the part numbers are for the dremmel diamond bits used for cutting bulkhead holes?
And how many holes do you get from a bit? I need to drill two holes in some 10 Gal tanks

good luck with the ten gallon tanks they are thin and harder to cut then a 15 or 20 gallon. I would advise using a tank made from thicker glass. Especially if its your first time.
As far as the bit I don't know I've always used a hole saw bit.

It takes forever using a Dremel. Here is an ebay link for a hole saw:

actually on the thin glass of a 10G, the dremel will probably work better since you need a light touch. i used one of those generic 20-pc diamond bit sets off of ebay, you only really need the ball-tip and the cylinder-tip bits, IMO. it does take a bit of time, but worth it since thin glass is not very forgiving.

i used my dremel at it's highest speed using a tile cutting bit, on thinner glass the drilling goes alot faster than on thicker glass.took me about three minutes a hole with the dremel to make 1" holes on a 90g, check it out

if you want we can hook up to cut the ten. i'll take my dremel and hole cutting jig.you can drill or pour the water, your choice.

lmk, i'm free this weekend.

That would be great. Maybe next weekend? Saturday afternoon?
I just have to measure them up and confirm that the two tanks will fit in the stand.
I'lll get back to you by the middle of the week.
Maybe we can have a few beers and a couple of the bare bottom regulars over for moral support. what do you say guys?
