Could I use a tiny drill and then a larger one? What kind? Thanks!

Yes but they are fairly expensive. They are called industrial diamond core or solid diamond drills. Depending on the hole sixes your looking for small .060 and under holes can be drilled with solid industrial diamond drills using either a pneumatic drill with interchangeable collets or a very fast small drill press with the same type of drill. If you attempt this always use a small stream of water to cool the drill point and prevent chipping on the reverse side by using melted industrial beeswax to stick on a small piece of glass to prevent spalling on the brake through side.

Also, put masking tape inside & out where you will drill the hole. This helps prevent chipping.
Good luck

Drills specifically for this type of drilling are available, specifics easily found on the Internet.

Go to home depot and have them suggest a drill bit. Maybe a drimmel (sp?) would work well with a glass or ceramic bit.

Dremel tools have a porcelien/china bit available as an attachment. U can find it at Lowes or ome Depot. My dad has one and has done this several times making projects

You could use a specially made drill... but why would you want to do that?

doubt it..... it will probably crack first...... need a super high rpm.... a super hard drill bit and very very very slow feed
