i don't know why mine went so slow then. I was pushing very hard, and moving the bit up & down.
Maybe it was the wrong glass bit? It just barely was tall enough for 1/4" glass. I've got holesaw bits now which I have to say are much nicer than using the dremel anyways

yeah but how much are the diamond tipped hole saws....I pay $5 for my dremel bit which can do any size hole I want and can usually do about 6 or 7 holes per bit!

diamond hole saws were $4 USD each. not super high quality, but good enough to have around in case they're needed. Only have the sizes used for sump returns (1/2" - 1" piping). Larger holes I'd rather pay somone to do and leave it on their shoulders in case they screw up.
there are some things I don't have the confidence in doing myself

Yeah, I have a very powerful dremel tool right now. Spins very fast at maximum speed.
So, about my plumbing question. Quote:

As far as drilling with a dremel - definitely do-able, I just did a 1 1/2" bulkhead into 3/8" glass, 15 minutes. Don't push on the bit, let the dremels weight do the work.
Serlunchbox - grab yourself the free copy of sketchup and draw up what you mean... Personally I'm not following - I think you're talking about just drilling and using a stand pipe?

Just ran across some diamond hole saws at Lee Valley Tools. Not is cheap as on ebay but I'm sure they're high quality from Lee Valley.
Took Seahorse Fanatic and myself about 90 secs to drill 1" bulkhead hole with powerdrill and a hose. And you end up with a much cleaner than using a dremel bit.
