CRL PDT214 2-1/4" Belgian Series Metal Bond Diamond Drill

CRL PDT214 2-1/4" Belgian Series Metal Bond Diamond Drill

C.R. Laurence PDT214 2-1/4" PDT Belgian Series Metal Bond Diamond Drill is engineered for superior performance in glass drilling applications. Featuring a straight shank and Belgian thread type, this drill ensures compatibility with a range of drilling machines, making it ideal for both professional and production settings. The 3/8" diamond matrix depth provides a robust cutting surface, filled with a specialized diamond and brass bond that enhances durability and efficiency. Designed to deliver an impressive lifespan, the PDT Series can achieve 1,000 to 2,000 holes in 1/4" (6 mm) glass when properly maintained. Its Italian craftsmanship ensures that these multi-layer drills cut faster and run cooler than standard options, allowing for effective and reliable operation. The unique Belgian mounting threads (1/2" gas thread) are widely popular across U.S. and European drilling machines, providing versatility in usage. For optimal safety, always wear appropriate safety gear and work on a flat, horizontal surface. When using water or coolant with electric tools, a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt Device is essential to prevent operator injury. The PDT214 is not just a tool; it’s a vital asset for any glasswork professional seeking efficiency and precision.

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.
