Harbor freight in Schereville or Ebay

I went to Harbor Freight a couple weeks ago and the guy working there said they didnt carry anything larger than like 1/2". I had to buy them off ebay and they ship out of Hong Kong.

That sucks. They had them when they first opened. I should have bought them because they were super cheap.

I got mine from lau*** on ebay. I got it in the mail less than 1 week later. Check his feedback, have no fear. Do pay with paypal though just to protect yourself just in case.

I have a 45mm as well. There is a very long thread in the DIY section that has all the bit sizes for different size bulkheads on the 1st or 2nd page. http://archive.reefcentral.com/forum...to+drill+glass
