CRL PD4 4" PD Straight Metal Bond Diamond Drill

CRL PD4 4" PD Straight Metal Bond Diamond Drill

C.R. Laurence PD4 4" PD Straight Series Metal Bond Diamond Drill is engineered for high-volume glass fabrication, delivering unmatched precision and performance. This robust drill features a 3/8" diamond matrix depth, ensuring a cutting surface that excels in durability and efficiency. Designed with versatility in mind, it offers two mounting options: Straight Shank or Belgian Thread, accommodating a wide range of glass drilling machines. The PD4 drill boasts a 3/8" x 1-3/8" (10 x 35 mm) shaft that provides a secure grip, facilitating smoother operation. With its unique diamond and brass bond, this drill type achieves an impressive lifespan of 1,000 to 2,000 holes in 1/4" (6.4 mm) glass when properly maintained. These Italian-made, multi-layer drills cut faster and operate cooler than competitors, making them ideal for both production equipment and portable drill machines. For optimal safety, it’s crucial to wear appropriate protective gear and work on flat, horizontal surfaces. Additionally, the use of a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt Device is recommended when operating electric tools with water or coolant. The C.R. Laurence PD4 is your go-to solution for efficient, high-quality glass 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; 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.
