Is this drill good enough for glass ?

    It'll be absolutely fine. While you're drilling just run the glass under water (the whole time you're drilling), and go nice and slow.
    You may have some issues at first, but it'll be technique not equipment. Good luck :)

    It says a screwdriver so idk if it will have very high RPM's...

    When drilling glass you generally want a low RPM actually. The bits seem to suggest no more than 350 and the drill lists 600 as the max RPM.

    Yeah, Ive used the one on the far right before for drilling glass, you just have to be careful and drill slowly and it helps to have cool water runnin over the drillspot.

    Drilling glass at a high speed will induce undue stress and heat on an already brittle material. You may be able to drill it at 3k RPM, but you are taking a risk of breaking your glass to save some time.

    Well I've been lurking here for a bit, and I've been doing a little research on this.

    I was just going to plug my sink and get a water level just high enough to leave about 1/2''-1'' over the spot I want to put a hole at, and just drill from there.

    The drill max RPM is 600.

    I read on some site (not sure where tbh) that I want to do around 2-3k RPM. That's why I wanted to make sure before I even opened it that I'd be ok.

    Hoping this is ok. Let me know if I should change up anything though.
