CRL PDT2 2" Belgian Series Metal Bond Diamond Drill

CRL PDT2 2" Belgian Series Metal Bond Diamond Drill

C.R. Laurence PDT2 2" PDT Belgian Series Metal Bond Diamond Drill delivers exceptional performance for glass drilling applications. Designed with both a straight shank and Belgian thread type, this drill features a 3/8" diamond matrix depth that ensures efficient cutting. The drill boasts a robust diamond and brass bond, allowing it to achieve an impressive lifespan of 1,000 to 2,000 holes in 1/4" (6 mm) glass when properly maintained with a wet sharpening stone. Manufactured in Italy, the PDT2 excels in speed and temperature control, cutting faster and running cooler than other drills on the market. Its full 3/8" (10 mm) deep cutting surface filled with diamonds and bronze bond enhances durability, although care must be taken due to its fragile nature. Best suited for true running machines on flat glass surfaces, this model is compatible with portable drill machines like the CRL AMZ1 and is ideal for production environments. Safety is paramount when using the PDT2, so appropriate safety gear, including gloves and eye protection, should always be worn. Additionally, a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt Device (Cat. No. GF1) is necessary when operating electric tools with water or coolant to prevent injury. Enhance your glass drilling capabilities with the reliability and efficiency of the C.R. Laurence PDT2.

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.
