Does anyone think buying the drill bit, coolant, and coolant retainer would work from this website (http://www.gordonglassusa.com/iteminfo.htm?sku=DCDB20&cd=301)? I want to drill a 3/4" hole in my 10 gallon aquarium instead of finding an overflow... Anyone know who drills glass in seattle?

If you do it I recommend that you go out and buy a few squares of similar glass try it out three or so times then drill the tank.

Hey!
I saw a thread on RC about using a dremel tool and a round diamond tipped bit for cutting holes. You will need to draw a circle on the glass and start scoring it with the bit until it cuts through. Then clean up the hole with some emery cloth. I don't remember the # for the bit though... It is much cheaper than buying a $60 drill bit for a single use. Good luck.....
