Hi Keven

When you got your dits how much were they in the end did you have to pay
duty on them and how much was shipping?

Ya not sure if it is best to buy a bit or get it done. AI will drill it but if the glass brakes all I get is a sorry.

You can also get them from mops.ca, something like $15-20 last time I checked there.

BTW, you're correct in that you need a 1-3/4" hole for a 1" bulkhead. (One caveat: not if you're using schedule-80 bulkheads as they have a thicker wall thickness. But the "regular" bulkheads we normally use are schedule-40.)

I bought my diamond bits from totem...you can get a whole set from 1/4" to 2.5" I believe and they come in a nice case for $90
