Higher Thinking Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Hey everyone! I'm hoping someone has a drill bit so I can drill my tank. I'm looking to use 1" bulk heads (or even smaller). I'm not 100% sure on the exact drill size, but I can get bulkheads to fit the bit that you have. Please let me know if you can help, thanks!!

Blue Z Reef Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I'd amazon one, 45mm is for 1" bulkheads. The ones I bought were $5 each and last for about 3 holes before taking forever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones I bought were $5 each and last for about 3 holes before taking forever Oh wow! I normally would just buy online, but I went into Ace Hardware yesterday and they were almost 50 bucks each! I assumed even on the internet they would still be expensive. Guess I made the wrong assumption. Thanks man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dave Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Also, maybe a little hint - if you can adjust your drill speed to a slower rpm, your hole bit should last for 40-50 holes easy. I'll try to look Monday at work to see what our hole saw at work turns at. HTH!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kknight Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 See if Don's rental has them in St Helens. We rented a few bits setting up my tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higher Thinking Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) Thanks everyone for the replies. I didn't even realize there were more responses. I went ahead and ordered bits off Amazon Friday night. With Prime they showed up Sunday afternoon. I got holes drilled that day. Believe it or not, I got ten sizes of bits for ten bucks shipped. Tough to beat that! Edited November 17, 2016 by Higher Thinking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
