Default drill old gass

The 5-piece set I just bought at Ollie's (new discontinued product
surplus/salvage store) was $4.99 +tax, a Black & Decker set, although
without the hex shanks/quick change capability.

Carbide bits are available for under ten bucks and they work extremely
well for tile, glass (not tempered), and ceramics. No cooling
necessary at all. http://tinyurl.com/48c32js HF apparently doesn't
carry them any more.

Back up the drilling point so the glass doesn't break out the back
side. Cold clay works well to provide a solid backing. Use a light
touch and immediately stop the drill upon exiting. Quick-stopping
cordless drill motors work best for this.
