I have used a tile bit in my drill to drill through a
piece.
If you go this route it is important that you prevent
the bit from overheating or it will wear out in a
minute.
I was told to spray windex into the hole and on the
bit as I was using it.
It kept the bit form smoking.
This is a lot of work.
I wish I would have put in the holes before firing.
I also ended up with a few glaze chips.
I am not certian this is what you are looking for but
it is my 2 cents.

Is anyone on the List familiar with a blade for a
Dremel type rotary
tool that will cut through glass/glaze? I went to the
local warehouse
lumber/hardware store and could not locate one.
We do a project in my class using stiff slab
construction to form a
box. These objects are made from cone 6 stoneware
clay, bisque-fired,
glazed, and glaze-fired. On occasion glaze runs down
and sticks the top
to the bottom. If there isn't too much glaze we score
it wth a glass
cutting tool and gently hit the piece with a wooden
paddle and the lid
comes free. Unfortunately, some times the glazes runs
and pools between
the lid and the bottom of the box and really bonds the
two pieces
together.
I'm searching for a tool to cut through the glaze. We
have Dremel and
Ryobi brand rotary tools, but I can't locate a blade
that will cut
through glass. Any info is appreciated.
TIA.
