dont bother, they are worth more than the cost of a contractor coming and drilling the holes for you <

Diamond saws are not cheap, but they last for ever.   Particularly when cutting glass, which is as soft as butter compared to concrete, rocks and gem stones.<

>We bought one about 12-18 months ago for approx $100 which included the drill attachment and bit plus a piece for maintaining the bit.  I can''t remember exactly the name of the place but it was something like "GNR" or similar at Mansfield.  It''s in the street on the left immediately before Dividend St, Mansfield.<

The one we got has drilled over 50 holes so far and it''s still going strong.  Well worth the money.

Mate I bought 5 different sizes diamond hole saws(10,25,32,35,40,50mm) for about 27$ off of ebay, I''ve drilled my tanks and will probably sell them soon.<
