yeah, i remember that one, that was a good write up.

If memory serves correct, we still needed to expand on this some more didn't we to encompass things like drill ratio to bulkhead thread and all that other fun stuff.

i believe you are correct ... if you are talking about the bit being bigger than the bulkhead 3/4" bulkead = 1 1/4" bit. something like that anyway. i found it yesterday, waiting to be published to an article, so i just read through it again and published it.

Good to hear.
Ive drilled more holes that i could poke a stick at in recent times. On glass, as long as its not wafer thin, Its as easy buttering your morning toast.
America might be different, however the costs per hole-saw unit are nuts down here, so i looked to the internet.

The Hong Kong varieties i brought in didn't have an arbour, so i made a flat bat for lack of a better word with some rubber matting glued to it. I used a normal wood hole saw to drill corresponding hole in it & literally clamped that to the tank to use as a drill guide. Worked the treat.
