CRL PD212 2-1/2" PD Straight Metal Bond Diamond Drill

C.R. Laurence PD212 2-1/2" PD Straight Series Metal Bond Diamond Drill is expertly designed for high-volume glass fabrication. With a robust 3/8" diamond matrix depth, this drill guarantees exceptional performance, allowing you to drill between 1,000 to 2,000 holes in 1/4" (6.4 mm) glass when properly maintained. The unique diamond and brass bond not only enhances durability but also ensures faster cutting and cooler operation compared to other drills on the market. Available in two mounting styles-straight shank or Belgian thread-the PD212 is versatile enough for use in both portable and production equipment, making it a valuable addition to any glass fabrication shop. The drill's full 3/8" (10 mm) deep cutting surface is filled with diamonds and bronze bond, optimizing its lifespan while providing a positive grip with its extra-long 1-3/8" by 3/8" (35 by 10 mm) diameter shank. For safety, always wear appropriate gear, including gloves and eye protection, while drilling on flat, horizontal surfaces. Remember to use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt Device when operating electric tools with coolant. Elevate your glass drilling capabilities with the C.R. Laurence PD212, a tool engineered for precision and longevity.

• Designed for High-Volume Glass Fabrication
• 3/8" Diamond Matrix Depth
• Two Mounting Styles to Choose From, Straight Shank or Belgian Thread

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; 1,000 to 2,000 holes in 1/4" (6.4 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" by 3/8" (35 by 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.
