no problem

Just make sure the glass is plate glass and not tempered. Tempered glass will shatter into millions of pieces if you try to cut it.

This is where I got mine

I just bought two drills to install one inch bulkheads. The total cost including shipping from Hong Kong was ten dollars.

Oh, to convert to metric:
1 inch = 26 mm
1.5 inch = 48 mm

28 mm drills - $10 plus $5 shipping = 15 dollars

48 mm drill - $6 plus $4 shipping = ten bucks
