Re: [Killietalk] [Fwd: Glass Drilling]

I use the bits from this place
http://www.artglass1.com/diamond-tools-drills.htm but noticed some on
ebay that were very cheap.  I drill them by hand using a cordless
drill.  It is easy to do.  Remember you really don't use any force on
the drill.  Also it is the heat that cracks tanks.
