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.

I think I referred to them as glass hole saws. KMS said that they wouldn't even know where to source them. I will do a physical check of Summit on Monday. I just have a feeling I will walk out of there with some other tool that I really don't need as well.

Default how many holes?

If you are only doing a few holes it might be cheaper and safer to have a glass shop do them.

It's been a few years, but Lions Gate Glass (behind Pet Boutique and Deakin Equipment, off Marine Dr. in North Van) drilled 2 holes for me for less than $7 per hole taxes in.
It might be more expensive now, but that was still cheaper than 2 diamond bits for me.
