I'm trying to drill a hole in a 1/4 in. piece of glass with my Dremel tool. I have a diamond tipped bit with a rounded end. The Dremel is a single speed Multi-pro 30,000 rpm. It just seems to be taking a really long time to get through it. How long should it take?
The instructions that came with the bit indicated that I should go slow and moisten frequently which I am doing. My concern is that perhaps I have the wrong Dremel model? Any suggestions from the experts would be greatly appreciated.
I tried to drill holes in the bottom of mason jars to make bird feeders with my dremmel and a diamond bit and it took forever. I switched to a regular drill and a glass bit and worked in no time. A spray bottle with water in it sprayed on the glass made it even faster.
It takes a while with a normal drill so Im sure it would seem like forever with a dremel. Just make sure to keep the area your drilling thru really wet, not just moist.
