My workplace sells a 1.5" diamond holesaw for $17.99 .. I can get about 8 holes out of one through 6mm glass. They're the same brand you bought from summit tools, 'samona' brand.

Dewalt doesn't make diamond holesaws as far as I know of, and it's not in their catalogue.

$80 for a diamond bit? Do you mean a coring bit? If so .. don't use it on glass!
