- How to drill a hole in glass with glass drill bit for a terrarium, a vivarium or a paludarium to place misting nozzle. Misting system permits to create rain or mist in tropical and rainforest tank for dart frogs, lizzards and snakes and maintain required moisture.

I must precise that my drill bit wasn't new. with a brand knew drill bit, process is a bit faster ;)
Hopefully people don't make the same mistake I did and try to drill straight through in one direction. I cracked a sheet of glass that way. Its very important with these drill bits to start drilling from both sides.
This should be called "How NOT to drill glass." Never drill glass dry like this. Dry drilling creates microscopic glass particles in the air which can damage your lungs and eyes. It also makes for a poor quality hole. The easiest method for small parts is to submerge the entire part in a shallow pan of water. You can also use a flood coolant system, or build a 'dam' around the hole using clay or putty and fill it with coolant or water. Using a tiny bit of water from a spray bottle is useless. Use a fixed, medium drill speed according to the bit size; if you go slow as in this video, you will end up with cracked edges like in this video.
Hahaha, you read my mind. Just scrolled down to see if someone had said it.
Your suggestion is unworkable in a production glass shop. Submerged in water? Really? Drilling rosette holes in a 42 X 100 inch mirror? A flood system or dam for a small 1/4 inch hole, not needed. The dam system is needed if using grit bits and a tripod drill. Vertical drilling machines use diamond bits and coolant is sprayed through the center of the front and back bits.
My brain was screaming when he said spray water when there’s dust, that glass powder that becomes airborne and ends up in your lungs…
Water bath it, or submerge if small enough. I have a hose set up to have a continuous flow of water over the drill/cutting bit, I wear a mask and for larger projects I work outside, I’m a glass sculptor…
this -- puts you on the fast track to silicosis, which is akin to the pain and agony of prolonged asbestos exposure. i can also confirm that drilling with the entire piece underwater produces complete cooling to all surfaces, eliminates any thermal stress, prolongs the life of the bit, manages dust, and provides for very clean holes
I have a 50mm Swarovski crystal and I need to drill a hole in it so I can hang it. Any words of wisdom for me?
We used to do this a little differently. To start we just positioned the bit where we wanted the hole and with the help of our thumb we rocked the bit back and forth a little to make a small divit without the drill spinning. Then we drilled at a fairly slow speed after dipping the bit in a mixture of oil and mineral spirits which acts like a combo lube and coolant. I actually preferred a bit with some use on it. It seemed to me that new bits chipped more.
I love your French accent
I've never drilled glass before, however with any other material I've found using the drill at a low speed gets the job done more quickly.
Fantastic Video. Thankyoh.
Just what I was looking for. Thanks so much.
Very good tutorial. Thank You
Thank you for his video. I would strongly advice anyone to pay a few more dollars and buying a diamond drill bit. It will cut your cutting time by more than half.
Yes you right I didn't had the money.
Good Method on drilling a hole into glass. The spade drill looks to be the most effective as far as I can tell 👍
Merci pour avoir pris le temps de faire cette video, at what speed did you drill?
you're welcome. To be honest my drill is always set on maximum speed. ;)
great
tq for sharing this video...where can i buy this drill bit..
I buy mine in standard diy stores
Wow, I never knew glass would be so hard to drill into, even harder than masonry lol.
Because in masonry drilling you don't need that much precision.
@@Eden_M Ofcourse it's hard because it's the hardest material, you can't just drill a hole into it. With red bricks, you don't actually drill it, you are hammering it with a drill bit.
it is possible . i can buy the drill bits and finally fix the issue with the side panel and power supply on the case
I put stainless steel in a created basin to permit underwater drilling because heat creates impassible hardening.

Bonjour, j'ai suivi votre vidéo sur le percage du Verre . Avez-vous fait une vidéo pour faire percges plus grands? Je cherche à percer du verre securit (et un autre granité) ép. 1cm un cercle de diamètre de 4 Cm afin de faire passer le Bond d'un Lavabo
Bonjour, Je voulais mais je n'ai pas eu le temps. Essayez de trouver des videos de personnes percant un aquarium pour un passe-cloison. Attention je suis presque sur qu'on ne peut pas percer du verre sécurit et que le trou doit être fait en usine au moment de la fabrication du verre
The drill bit that you used is for the concrete
Nope, it is written on packaging, for glass and earthenware
I always laugh at @, I'm not sure why, is it just me? lol Like if you laughed 😃
Even though he was speaking French, I understood it. But wow 23 minutes I want to make about as many on a dozen Windows! I thought maybe a few minutes but it's Gonna be a long one
Can you make a hole without cracking the sides of the hole i mean a perfect smooth hole.
The hole I did could have be better if the drill bit was brandnew. But really perfect seems to be hard to do with this kind of tool.
Is water necessary?
Drilling generate heat so without water you can break the glass
I think we all know why we’re here
🌳🌱🔥🤘🏾
i still don't understand this comment
@@soccermastax they all tried and broke the glass in the process
I get it but I actually just want to make my animals terrarium better
They have drill bit specifically made to do this. And takes seconds.
It is already a drill bit for glass and I don't see how it could take only few seconds, because glass is fragile and hard surface. Even professional take time to make this. 🤔
Cet accent Anglais de fou xDD
Ah ah , c'est pas sympa de se moquer
Terrarium-Construction.com je juge pas j'ai le même 😂
XD :D
😬 not a good hole
The shape of the hole is hidden by the bulk head of the misting system so we dont give a damn for this application
Thats wrong because that glass is damaged. I can teach how drill glass... 😁😉
Where is your video ?.
Seeing is believing. Show us.
Thank you, Mr. Knowitall.
Actually it is more dangerous to use gloves when using spinning machinery due to the risk of entanglement. As a "construction channel you should have already know that.
Please tell me your not a brain surgeon.
Please tell me that you are able to make the difference between a brain and a simple hole in glass hidden by a bulkhead and drilled by a very used drill bit.
