Hi

I was wandering around ALDI , I spotted the glass drilling bit kit , 5 bits . From 3mm to 8 mm size bits , carbide tipped .

Just wondering what would be the best speeds for these bits ? I am somewhat intrigued by the thought of drilling holes in glass MIKE

I have used turps as a coolant/lube for drilling glass vases for lights. You can make a little dam around hole wilh bluetac or clay etc to hold the coolant in place.
