LF- Glass Drill Bit
 

I want to drill a hole in a 5G fuge, anyone know where to get the bits from?

Bulk Reef Supply sells them under their plumbing section but I would call a couple of local glass companies first as they may sell them or tell you of a local dealer. A lfs may do it for you as well as a good price so if this is a one time thing it may not be worth doing it yourself.

M.O.P.S also sells them,pretty cheap,and the work great.

I ordered mine on ebay. I got 3 for under $20 with shipping. They came with 3 different sizes. They where shipped from China but i recieved them super fast and they worked great!! If you call around to look for some i found people have a better understanding if you call them diamond coated hole saws.

Megs Clark is right, call them diamond coated hole saws when calling around. I knew right away what you were asking so I didn't even thing that others may not, especially if you try Home Depot or some place like that, they don't know what people are asking them at the best of times.

Careful, some 5g tanks are made with 1/8" glass. That's-a-gonna-breaka super easy. Apparently it can be done (although not by me, apparently, I found that out after a few too many attempts).

When it comes to the thin glass...slow and steady wins the race :)

I think Midland tools in Nanaimo has them.

thanks, i will give them a call.
