Glass Bits

Can anyone recommend a source for quality glass hole saws? I can find plenty of cheap ones, but can't imagine they'd cut more than a hole or two before being useless. What about bits that could drill 20-30 or more holes before being useless?

Re: Glass Bits

From a standard cheapie drill you shuold expect to punch at least 10-20 holes unless you are running it too hot or presuring it and tearing the diamonds off it... And a small bit of tooling coolant as opposed to straight water does wonder on their life, And as always....Slow and easy! let the bit work itself, never force it.

Anything you would ever want to drill glas with...
CRL
or if you want the end all be all of gkass core drilling supplies
*which is where my core all came from*.
Salem Distributing Ask for Bob Spears.

...or Sommer & Maca too as listed above.

the downside of all of them is you will need an account (tax FEIN#) to buy directly from any them.
