1.5" Glass Cutting Hole Saw Bit in Victoria?

Ive had Speedy Auto Glass ( Pandora ) cut all the glass for my baffles and every piece was perfect. Ask them to sand the edges.

Thanks Shelly.

I'll phone them Saturday and have them cut some pieces up for me.

I get glass smith all the time now, I have used speedy, a place behind glenoak ford, and a few others, but I like glass smith the best as they are on par for the lowest cost and they are fast. Just make sure you stress that any dimensions you give them are final dimensions and are important (guess this goes for any glass shop)

The place behind Glenoak Ford is Victoria Glass. That's where I've always gone. I vaguely recall having a problem with one cut, once, but that's it. They've generally always been good.

I went with Speedy Glass out here in good 'ol Langford/Colwood for the cut pieces of glass and they did a superb job - I begged them to make the cuts square and sand the edges after having a bad experience with "another glass place".

I picked up a hole saw bit yesterday and will run a couple (maybe just one) trials on my scrap glass and then get to work on drilling the sump and three holes for my external overflow box before I silicone it together (still waiting for the tank to be finished by Seastar before I can silicone it to the back of the tank).

i recently drilled glass for the first time with a buddy its not difficult just go slow very slow weight on the drill is more than enough we used the dam method and constant running water method both worked the same as far as i could tell.
for a time frame it took 20 min to drill a 1 1/4" hole in 3/8 glass........ we had virtually zero blowout
