As part of this, would it make any sense to have a group order for the drill bit for those interested? Just throwing it out there...

That would be a good project for a member to organise .The club does not organise group orders at this time.

[OttawaFolkFestivum]

Could someone recommend a supplier and part number? For a typical glass drill bit? Local or on-line?

I mean, I don't really have a clue - I haven't done it before.

If this will be covered in the workshop then that's perfect, I can wait.

Tanks, Steve.

[groupie02]

that will be covered in the workshop

I would be interested in a group order. I will need both a largeish and a smaller bit. We might organize it right after the demonstration.

It probably should be posted on the 'Group Order' forum for a day or so before the demonstration and the Sunday after, then closed and ordered on the Monday.

If nobody has volunteered a tank, a 10 mm sheet of glass could stand in for a tank. A very shallow tank. Difficult to tell if it leaked. . .

remember, i got a tank for y'all to drill as many holes as you want.

[groupie02]

what's with your tank?  is it broken or do you really need lots of holes?

[Vince.]

no im just supporting the cause.

it's a perfectly, 100% fine, good condition 10g tank.

I forgot to reply to this very old post when it came up.  The $20.00 is the regular price... let's just say that we'll have a hole sale tomorrow morning.

See you then

Thanks to the members who came out today, groupie02/Pierre discussed everything about drilling & bulkhead options, thanks Pierre.
Vince sorry you missed it, the donated tank was not drilled but was bought by Pierre for a marine project,thanks for the donation.

im sad i missed this, but glad all went well.

[groupie02]

some folks expressed interest in information regarding the drill bits used for our tanks.  Here's the information:

Diamond Hole Saw size 60mm = 1.5 inch Bulkhead
Diamond Hole Saw size 45mm = 1.0 inch Bulkhead
Diamond Hole Saw size 38mm = 0.75 inch Bulkhead

I get my bits on eBay from lau*** of THK Diamond Tools.

Good luck to everyone

Thanks Pierre for sharing a lot of information and experience. I learned a lot, and had a good time discussing with everyone there. Now there are a lot of tanks in Ottawa that are about to be drilled!

[Bob_S]

Thanks Pierre;

The presentation was very informative, thanks for spending the time with us.  You made the drilling look easy but I'm sure it took a lot of practice to get it right. I spent part of today at Canus Plastics and a pool store checking out fittings for my overflow. Maybe at on of the scheduled meetings someone can do a presentation on a closed loop system.
