Drilling Hole in Glass Tank
Hi fellow DIYers have some something for you to try out over the long weekend.
Drilling a hole in glass is not as hard as you think. all you need is the correct equipment. Below is a pictorial guide on how to drill your own tank. Step 1 : Aquire the tool you need. 1. A low RPM Drill . 2. A Diamond Coated Drill bit 3. Some form of spray container for lubricant. Step 2 : Marking out the hole . To prevent the Drill bit from slipping , its advisiable to paste masking tape over the glass before drilling. In this case , I ran out of masking tape so i went on without it . Step 3 : Drilling Start drilling at an angle . At the same time , spray water on the bit to lubricate and cool the bit and the glass. Go slow and easy. Once you got a groove on the glass you can slowly straighten the drill bit . Getting Started After 5 mins of drill and half way through After 10mins OK its just as simple as that . cheers xtrekker |

Hole size RPM 4 MM - 14 MM = 1600 - 2000 16 MM - 25 MM = 1400 - 1600 27 MM - 50 MM = 1100 - 1400 too fast the will cause the bits to wear out very fast. unless you are using a good lubricant. or your bit might articulate and damage the glass. How to drill glass cheers xtrekker |
