CRL PDT138 1-3/8" PDT Belgian Series Metal Bond Diamond Drill

C.R. Laurence PDT138 1-3/8" PDT Belgian Series Metal Bond Diamond Drill is engineered for high-volume glass fabrication, making it an indispensable tool for professionals in the industry. This drill features a robust diamond matrix with a depth of 3/8", ensuring exceptional performance and longevity. Designed with two mounting styles-straight shank or Belgian thread-this versatile drill easily adapts to various glass drilling machines, especially production equipment. Crafted in Italy, the PDT138 drill utilizes a unique diamond and brass bond that allows for an impressive lifespan of 1,000 to 2,000 holes in 1/4" (6.4 mm) glass with proper maintenance. Its multi-layer construction enables faster cutting and cooler operation compared to other drills on the market. The extra-long 1-3/8" x 3/8" (35 x 10 mm) diameter shank provides a secure grip, enhancing the overall usability. For optimal safety, always wear appropriate protective gear, including gloves and eye protection, while drilling. It’s essential to perform work on a flat, horizontal surface, and a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt Device should be used when operating electric tools with coolant. With the C.R. Laurence PDT138, you can trust in a tool designed for efficiency and reliability in glass drilling applications.

• 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" 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.
