How do you drill through glass?

Question

I want to drill through a candle holder so i can hangit on the wall

Answer 1

It takes a special drill bit that can be purchased at your local building supply store like Home Depot or Lowe's.

Answer 2

There are special appear point drill bits for boring holes in glass. You will need to use a handheld bit brace or a power drill set to run at a low speed.

Answer 3

Don't bother. It's a lot better to get candle holders that are made for wall mounting like these for example:

They could probably be found at a number of local stores like Target and many stores in malls.

Answer 4

They have drill bits made just for glass at Home Depot and Lowes. All you have to do is pick the size. That's what I did.

Answer 5

Use a carbide bit and drill at a low speed.  Spray with a light oil to lubricate the bit every few seconds.  Don't be in a hurry,  going slow will help prevent breakage.  If you really like this candle holder you might not want to drill it.  Its very easy to break glass when drilling.
