LF Glass Drill Bits

plutoniumJoe · #1 07-26-2009, 12:52 AM

Hi Folks,

I am looking to rent or borrow glass hole saws for 1", 1.5" and 2" bulk heads. If you can help out it would be appreciated.

Thanks Joe.

www.bulkreefsupply.com carries a few different sizes. They are cheap, and work very well provided you only need to drill a few holes with each one. They are "disposable quality".

I've heard that summit tools has some really cheap ones.

Not too far for you to drive down and check them out.. then I can borrow them from you when you're done

(just kidding.. maybe..)

Both Summit and Lee Valley carry them.

I'm not a big fan of borrowing diamond hole saws given what I understand to be their relatively short life expectancy.

Bulkreefsupply was my first choice but I was trying to circumvent the two week delivery time. I phoned KMS and summit earlier today and they said they didn't carry them. I might check for myself on Monday.

I will probably get the glass shop to drill the 2" and order the 1 and 1.5 bits. That way you can borrow them Jeff if there is any grit left when I am done.

That's weird. I was just as Summit a few weeks ago and there they were sitting there. Did you ask about "glass drill bits" because they may only know them as "diamond bits" since they are also used to drill things like granite and porcelain.
