Glass drilling please help

[Engloid]

I am going to get a few pieces of glass to practice with from work so I can get practice. The drill press has a depth adjustment so I'm going to play around with and and see if I can find a way to use it to adjust the pressure on the bit.

Depth adjustment won't adjust your pressure.

It can be done with a drill press, but you just have to be very careful as to how much pressure you put on it, due to the added leverage that a drill press offers. Be especially careful as you near completion of the hole. My advice is to NOT press any at all, and let the weight of the drill do the work....maybe use about a pinky finger on the lever, but when you get near the full depth, back off pressure or you will get chips come out on the inside edge of the hole.

Cordless variable speed drill is safest bet.

+1 on no pressure. I've drill a couple of holes myself. Just let the bit do the work as much as possible. Also, they get dull fast, least mine did, so be patient.
