What is the crowd's opinion of 1/2" Inch Diamond Drill Bit Hole Saw for Tile Glass Marble Granite Fiberglass Ceramic Tool (5 Pack)?

From 3.5 billion comments

Are you using a lot of water with it? That kind of bit inherently have a limited lifetime but that can help a lot. This is what I have and I put holes in maybe 10 pots on one bit and used a good amount of water.

I drill holes in ceramic and glazed pots all the time. You just need a diamond drill bit. I got this set of 5 from Amazon really cheap and they work great: FireKingdom 5pcs 12mm 1/2" Inch Diamond Drill Bit Hole Saw for Tile Glass Marble Granite Fiberglass Ceramic Tool https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00O1SAY58 Just search on YouTube for instructions. You just spray the surface with water then start drilling at an angle, then when it starts to wear a groove in the surface, you can move the drill to drill straight downward. It is a little tricky to get it started till you get the groove going (the drill wants to slide around).

If you have a drill, you can buy a diamond drill bit and drill holes in the bottom of your pot pretty easily. I just ordered these on Amazon and got them yesterday:

I cut holes in 5 or 6 pots last night and it worked great. And now I can go to thrift stores and find cute containers to use :)

Get a diamond hole bit and make anything a pot. I am particularly fond of mugs, sugar and creamer sets, and for large pots I like soup tureens. Thrift stores and yard sales are my sources!

Don't use a masonry bit, use plenty of water.

They're actually quite affordable.

You can drill holes in pots if you have a drill and these drill bits: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00O1SAY58/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_BXILFbQ3BYKQE?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I use them myself. The downside is you really only get one use out of each one, mayyyybe two uses. But the diamond wears off fast when drilling through thick stuff like pots. Luckily they are rather cheap.
