How do I drill a hole in glass? Do I need a special bit or tool?

I know this is a late post... but if the hole you want to drill is a small one, I use my Dremmel tool. They have bits that are made specifically for glass and they aren't expensive at all.

I ruined my project the first time I tried it by being too aggressive... but if you have the Dremmel at high speed and press with a moderate amount of pressure, you shouldn't have a problem.

Again, it all depends on the size of hole you are drilling and the thickness of the glass.

Hope this helps.

Have a web site that helped me. Glass drill bits. They not only have the bits but also good advice. Just thought I would share it with you. glassart

Diamond drill bits for glass can sometimes be found at hardware stores, and if not, try a local glass company
