CRL PDT114 1-1/4" PDT Belgian Metal Bond Diamond Drill

C.R. Laurence PDT114 1-1/4" PDT Belgian Series Metal Bond Diamond Drill is expertly designed for high-volume glass fabrication, making it an essential tool for professionals in the industry. This drill features a robust 3/8" diamond matrix depth that ensures maximum cutting efficiency and longevity, allowing for an impressive lifespan of 1,000 to 2,000 holes in 1/4" (6.4 mm) glass when properly maintained. Constructed with a unique diamond and brass bond, the PDT114 outperforms other drills on the market by cutting faster and running cooler. The drill’s two mounting styles-either a straight shank or Belgian thread-provide versatility for various applications, particularly in production settings. The Belgian style threads, known as 1/2" (12.7 mm) gas thread, are compatible with both U.S. and European glass drilling machines, making it easy to integrate into your existing toolkit. For optimal performance, the PDT114 should be used with true running machines on flat glass surfaces. Always prioritize safety by wearing appropriate gear and following operational guidelines to prevent injury. With its combination of innovation and durability, the C.R. Laurence PDT114 is the go-to choice for professionals demanding precision and reliability in their glass drilling projects.

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" 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.
