I need a hole in the bottom of a pyrex dish. I am a cheapskate. I'm also not feeling like taking yet another trip to the hardware store. They are starting to remember how I take my coffee; strong and black. (insert once you go... joke here).
So I'm testing the viability of using a Pottery Store pack of Silicon Carbide to cut hard, brittle materials.
Like the vids? Want to shed the bad luck of all those two dollar bills hoarded in your mattress? Help me make a vid or three!

Nothing to add, just saying so uncle bumblefuck knows indeed some glasiers do watch 😆
copper tube and lapping compound. made a hole in a big wine bottle(not saying why) no pressure, carbide does the cutting.
5 years to late, but would have ground the teeth off the bit and let the silicone con carne dust do the choochin by itself.
Yes …that’s what it’s like to get old.
Today, he uses a plastic lid and jb welds industrial diamonds on it and it cuts through a counter-top. True character development
i work in glass but drilling, cutting holes, etc isnt my thing. but this old man came to the shop years ago and said he doesnt use a glass cutter. scissors and keep the glass submerged. i thought he was just senile. one day we tried it in the sink. its sounds like you're cutting cardboard. its total fucckery and blew my mind. the cuts are shitty though, so glass cutter is the way to go. but for holes? dont know
It could be causing the glass to start oscillating at its natural frequency. I know I'm about 6 years too late but give me a break LOL
Yep, that's what its like getting old…
Watch with the subtitles to TRULY understand what our good friend is saying!
I think i hit the language button at tge 3 min mark
I used to cut and temper glass (and coat but thats unrelated) , and if the internal pressure of the glass is over 8500 psi, then its most likely gonna break every time you try to cut it. Granted Pyrex dishes and hurricane windows are so far from the same thing that it's hard for me to say my input is valid
You tried to cut Pyrex.
I know this is an old video but here's my two cents. Pyrex like all bakeware is tempered to some degree so you don't get it shattering into a million shards when you drop it. To cut that you NEED a diamond holesaw and you NEED to keep it cold. Cold and lubricated. Lotsa watah!
