| Anybody know where to go to buy a holesaw? I need one for 1 1/2 inch bulkhead and a 3/4 inch bulkhead. Also what size would this require? Drilling a glass tank. |

Home depot has the lg ones for wood. You might want to check out harbor freight they might have the wood ones that are large enough. As for the glass ones I get mine from e-bay they don't last as long but you can buy one for each hole and it will still be cheaper that getting it done at a LFS. If it is you fist time drilling glass make sure to take your time and let the bit do the work and keep it cool.

glass-holes.com is your best bet. I buy all of mine through them. One of the bits has drilled at least 10 holes and still going strong.
I have bits for a 1 inch and 3/4 inch bulkhead. |
