CRL PDT314 3-1/4" Belgian Series Metal Bond Diamond Drill

CRL PDT314 3-1/4" Belgian Series Metal Bond Diamond Drill

C.R. Laurence PDT314 3-1/4" PDT Belgian Series Metal Bond Diamond Drill is engineered for high-volume glass fabrication, delivering exceptional performance and durability. With a diamond matrix depth of 3/8", this drill stands out for its ability to produce between 1,000 to 2,000 holes in 1/4" (6.4 mm) glass when properly maintained. Users can choose between two mounting styles: a straight shank or the popular Belgian thread, which is compatible with both U.S. and European glass drilling machines. Constructed with a special diamond and brass bond, the PDT314 ensures a cooler and faster cut than traditional drills. Its multi-layer design, made in Italy, features a full 3/8" (10 mm) deep cutting surface that enhances longevity. However, due to its advanced design, it is crucial to use this drill on flat surfaces with true running machines to avoid breakage. For safe operation, always wear appropriate safety gear, including gloves and eye protection. Additionally, a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt Device (Cat. No. GF1) should be utilized when working with electric tools and water. The PDT314 is a reliable choice for professionals seeking to optimize their glass drilling efficiency.

• 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.
