I am looking for someone that drill me a 1 1/2" bulkhead in my Acrylic sump?


I live at I-17 and Greenway.

You can just buy the bit at HD and do it your self

Agreed I have drilled many many tanks and whatnot .......Its easy as long as you have a drill and you go buy a hole saw. Let the bit do the cutting and right at the end don't push it thru let it cut thru.

Very easy......Otherwise ATR and other LFS's can do it .

What do you think they would charge for it? I don't have a drill. We are packed up for our move.

okay . Do you know someone close to you with a drill? IF so get a bit do it your self or dig out yours.Heck even the cheap hole saw kit form those cheap tool stores will work . Thats what I used last time I drilled a tank which was just a few days ago.

That is what I think I will be doing. Just need to find the right pump for it. I am looking for a Dart.

I'd be happy to drill it for you as well but I'm probably farther for you than ATR.

I think I have the bit to drill the hole and I am at at Camelback and Central. Let me know the hole size you want and I will check my bit size.

and I have a 9.6v cordless you can borrow if u want :) Never drilled acrylic so not sure if it'll be enough but you're welcome to it. I live right down the road from you at 23rd Ave. and 101.

Bring it over to my place I can do it for you. We'll clamp another piece of acrylic to the inside so it doesn't splinter when it comes through for a clean hole.

Thanks. When you want to do it? I am waiting right now to hear back about a Dart pump.
