Diamond Drilling holes into Aquariums and or Fishtanls or Fish tanks.
See how BUDDY the lifeguard makes the dramatic rescue of a budweiser beer from a fish tank
|
Check out the scene with the trapped bottle of budweiser. We will use the 65mm later for the rescue but for now lets show you a common size which is 40mm |  |
| To drill a hole into a tank you need two items 1) A diamond drill 2) A drill plate to steady the drill on the glass |  |
| You will also need a little sponge to wipe the dust away |  |
| Place the drill plate at the location of the intended hole Make sure the glass is dry. Do not apply water. |  |
| Place the drill bit into the drill guide and press the diamonds against the glass. Hold onto the drill plate to prevent the drill slipping |  |
| After a few revs the diamonds bite into the glass and start to form a pit. For photographic purposes we have pulled the drill back from the glass to show you the start of the hole |  |
| Here it is in more detail |  |
| Keep the drill plate in place and continue to drill | |
| Do not be tempted to run the drill in the slot without the drill plate. If you run it like this you may slip and scratch your tank. |  |
| Periodically wipe the remains from the glass. Dry the surface so the plate can stick. |  |
| At some stage during drilling you will break through to the other side. |  |
| Here you can see the breakout forming in more detail |  |
| Eventually the disc will pop out and into the tank. |  |
| Be careful of sharp glass when cleaning although it should be smooth as you have been grinding the glass rather than drilling it. |  |
| The drill plate has worn slightly. Here it is with the glass disc |  |
| And so finally one aquarium with a nice neat hole completed... |  |
| But what news of the rescue? |  |
