Easiest way, imo....I got some plaster of Paris and mixed and molded it around the bit and let it set. , I twisted and removed the bit and waited for the plaster to completely dry. Next get some duck tape and tape the plaster mold down because it will move once you flood it with water. Now just apply water and drill slow and work your way up in speed without pressure.

I actually bought a guide for the bit. It attaches to the glass and hold the bit from jumping. Just nervous about doing a tank that if I break it I have no clue what kind of tank it is to replace it

I've drilled so many tanks I use my hand as the guide now lol

I've used the bit to drill thru a small piece plywood, and taped that on the glass as a guide

The hole saw doesn't have a pilot bit?

I got this guide

And here's my lout, one 1.5 drain and 2 3/4" returns. They're 3"of the edge and 3.5" from the top

This is the kit I'm using. It's the h20verflow

you shouldn't need a guide, hold the drill on a slight angle. once it starts cutting, slowly straighten it out.
theirs always a chance it can break weather its you or a pro.
