how do you drill a hole in tempered glass after it has been tempered???

You cannot, period. Don't try or it will explode.

We have had a lot of success with our tempered glass cutter we purchased from China. We bought that and a glass stretcher a few years back and it has saved us a ton of money when someone screws up.

PS. They aren't cheap.

Can be done if held under water

with scissors??

Lyle Hill, managing director of Keytech North America, says that you can’t drill a hole in a piece of glass after it has been tempered. It will immediately break once the drill penetrates the extreme outer surface of the glass. Holes must be drilled in a piece of (annealed) glass BEFORE the glass is tempered. Pls. contact Hill at 630-468-2848 or lhill@glass.com.

Thank you for writing, and have a happy holiday!

this thread is awesome

Tempered glass can be drilled cut and sanded. All you have to do is untemper it first.

The cost of untempering ( if someone is doing that) and retempering is probably more than the cost of a new lite of tempered!
