Update on drilling holes

Post by Barb »

Thanks for all your tips and tricks about drilling holes. I have been having better success using MUCH less pressure than I was before. I just barely touch the glass and back off and repeat and repeat. But it's only taking about a minute or two to drill holes in 2 layers of reg. thickness BE too! Thanks so much for helping me solve this irritating problem.

I'm using a dremel tool with a triple ripple bit (got them from HIS glassworks).

Let me know if you need their website or more info

I found HIS glassworks to be very helpful and guide you to the product that best fits your machine and intended need.

Loved Bob dragging the glass out the door of his car, he's a funny and friendly guy. :lol:
