That's right! I remember something about that part! It was ....err...it was because you had a problem ...ummm...

Yes. And it works very well.

I have drilled through glass on several occasions with great success using a carbide tipped spade drill. Use a slow speed and much patience as the drill breaks through the opposite side to avoid cracks or shattering. Secure the workpiece to be drilled with towels and a gloved hand for saftey. Drill designed especialy for drilling glass can be found at Home Depot or Lowes.
