I am looking for a drill that I'd be able to use to drill holes into glass wine bottles. Would this be a good drill for that?

You are better off using a drill press for that as that way you can drill slowly, plunging in steps, a little bit at a time without "losing your spot". You also need to use water as a lubricant while doing this or the bottles will crack. Be sure to use a circular diamond coated bit in the appropriate size. I see that this post is a year old but hope my advice can help anyone who is also reading this.

It depends on how heavy the units are and I do not think the back would take a drill well. I would try something else, but if you want a project and have time try it.

I would reccomend a hammerdrill instead. It is intended for drilling in concrete. They are usually function as a regular and hammer drill.One like this. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0008ELQ0G/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1376105960&sr;=8-1π=SL75

This drill works great, but it is the bits that make drilling glass, shells, or any kind of tile easier. I would recommend you buy some diamond drill bits.

I am using a wine barrel cut in half length wise with these hinges for a lifting top. I'm not usuing glass. But I really think if you were to do that with a glass top and like a wine bottle storage underneath the glass it would look awsome.

Yes, it will fit in a drill. I used it in my drill press also. In drilling a hole in glass I kept putting a little water on the area as it was cutting and used a slower rotating speed. I also don't use much pressure.

I've used it to drill screws into solid cabinets as well as drilling holes for handles, the drill did a very good job.

It worked very good for me. No overheating. But please make sure you use a good bit. Look for some brands like Bosch, Metabo etc. Actually I beleve that bit is more important than drill.

Have only used it on glass. We cut holes in bottles with it. Sorry I couldn't help.

This might be overkill, or flat-out awkward, for this specific use. Based on a youtube search for "bead drilling" to see what others use, you'll likely want a light duty rotary tool or bead reamer for harder materials or a pin vise for things like polymer clay. You might consider a jeweler's push drill like this: Jeweler's Small 3-1/2" Push Drill for Micro Bits 0.20mm to 1.0mm

It's a great tool, but it is probably overkill for your task at hand. You would be way better off with the Bosch Bulldog 11255VSR SDS hammer drill - it's lighter and easier to control, and you will not be disappointed with the performance.

If you are drilling with a portable hand drill it is probably as good as any method of trying to drill a straight hole. Just clamp it in place. If you are using a drill press it might not be usefull

Definitely! My husband is a welder and he purchased this drill to use at work on sheet metal, pipe, etc. Still works GREAT after tons of wear and tear.

Hi, The tool uses a cutter bit, not a drill per se. You attach it to your regular drill chuck and adjust it to the desired diameter and it will do the job. a 6 in hole in wood shouldn't be a problem. Wear glasses, though...

Yes but the speed is probably way to high and when you lower it you lose a lot of torque so it's far from ideal. A drill capable of 2-4000 rpm would be better.

I suspect a little depends on the drilling material. I've used mine in tight places with up to #8 screws through pre-drilled shelves. I wanted a light drill for hard to get to places without the cumbersome flat type batteries. (of which I have several)

we have not used it for that, but it drills glass with no problem using a diamond bit. It is a powerful drill so I would say it can! I like this because it is stable for a desktop drill, while many seem to either loosen up or are never stable because of their size and weight distribution. Sorry I cannot be more specific to your question.
