    30 to 45 minutes??? It takes maybe 2 minutes to drill through 1/4" glass. You can stretch it out to 5 minutes if you really want to, but I didn't have any real notable difference between the two.

    As far as I know, it is not possible to drill tempered glass.

    Marc is dead on, the surface tension of tempered glass is way too high for drilling. Even trying to slowly grind holes makes for a LOT of pieces.
    Every electronic device is manufactured with smoke stored deep inside... only a true genius can find a way to set it free.
