Glass is considered to be harder than steel, but very unpredictable in how it can break. The thicker the glass the better your results.

]]> 86355 2 0 Step Marking your hole. With your marker, mark where you want to drill your hole. The farther from the edge, the better your results.

]]> 86356 3 0 Step Support your work. Using a scrap piece of material as backing, set the mirror on a flat sturdy surface.

]]> 86357 4 0 Step Drill a pilot hole. Instead of using a center punch, securely tape a scrap piece of thick, transparent plastic onto the glass surface.

]]> 86358 5 0 Warning As with any power tool operation, always follow safety guidelines.

]]> 86359 6 0 Step Drilling an accurate hole. Using the small drill bit, drill a hole through the plastic, this will be your pilot hole.

]]> 86360 7 0 Tip Glass is very hard and will dull a regular drill bit very quickly, it is not necessary to drill into the glass at this point though it will help.

]]> 86361 8 0 Step Drilling the hole. With the Spade drill bit start drilling through the clear piece of plastic and into the mirror surface.

]]> 86362 9 0 Tip No, that is not smoke or steam but finely ground abrasive glass dust, make sure you do not breathe this in.

]]> 86363 10 0 Step Patience is key. Drill very slowly and keep the area moist with water, and remember, patience, patience and more patience.

]]> 86364 11 0 Step Finishing the hole When the tip of the spade drill bit is through the mirror, carefully turn the mirror over onto the other side and continue drilling

]]> 86365 12 0 Warning Be extra careful when drilling on the reverse side, chips of glass will fly away from the work.

]]> 86366 13 0 Step Mounting. Clean and carefully mount your mirror and wait for those “Wow!” comments.

]]> 86367 14 0 Fact Glass was first developed by the Sumerians around 3000 B.C. by mixing silica and sand in very hot forms.
