CRL PD2 2" PD Straight Metal Bond Diamond Drill

CRL PD2 2" PD Straight Metal Bond Diamond Drill

C.R. Laurence PD2 2" PD Straight Series Metal Bond Diamond Drill is engineered for high-volume glass fabrication, making it an indispensable tool for professionals in the industry. With a robust 3/8" diamond matrix depth, this drill delivers exceptional longevity, capable of achieving 1,000 to 2,000 holes in 1/4" (6 mm) glass when maintained properly. The unique diamond and brass bond enhances performance, allowing these Italian-made drills to cut faster and run cooler than competitors. Featuring a 3/8" x 1-3/8" (10 x 35 mm) shaft with an extra-long design, the PD2 ensures a secure grip and precise drilling. It is available in two mounting styles: a straight shank or Belgian thread, accommodating various glass drilling machines, including portable options like the CRL AMZ1. The PD2 is ideally suited for use on flat glass surfaces and should always be utilized in true running machines to maximize its effectiveness. Safety is paramount when working with glass, and users are advised to wear appropriate protective gear including gloves and eye protection. Additionally, a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt Device should be employed when using electric tools with water. The CRL PD2 stands out as a reliable choice for those seeking durability and performance in diamond drilling.

CRL PD and PDT Series Metal Bond Diamond Drills use a special diamond and brass bond for maximum performance in glass. Metal Bond Drills offer the longest life of any type of diamond drill; 1000 to 2000 holes in 1/4" (6 mm) glass, with proper maintenance and the use of a wet Sharpening Stone to expose fresh diamonds. These Italian made multi-layer drills cut faster and run cooler than any other drill on the market. They have a full 3/8" (10 mm) deep cutting surface filled with diamonds and bronze bond, which allows for extended drill life, but also makes this style of drill more fragile. They should always be used in true running machines on flat glass surfaces. The CRL PD Series features an extra long 1-3/8" x 3/8" (35 x 10 mm) diameter shank for a positive grip on the drill. The CRL PDT Series features Belgian style mounting threads (also known as 1/2" 12.7 mm gas thread), which are popular among all U.S. and European glass drilling machines. They can be used in portable drill machines such as the CRL AMZ1, but they are especially suited for production equipment.


NOTE: Always wear the proper safety gear including gloves and eye protection when drilling glass. Work should be performed on a flat, horizontal surface. A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt Device (Cat. No. GF1) must be used when using any type of electric tool in conjunction with water or coolant. Failure to follow any of these precautions can result in operator injury.
