CRL DCD214 DCD Series 2-1/4" Straight Shank Electro-Formed Diamond Drill

CRL DCD214 DCD Series 2-1/4" Straight Shank Electro-Formed Diamond Drill

C.R. Laurence DCD214 2-1/4" DCD Series Straight Shank Electro-Formed Diamond Drill is designed for fast cutting and high production runs, making it an essential tool for glass drilling professionals. Featuring an extended work life, this drill is optimized for efficiency and precision. The DCD214 is equipped with a robust 3/8" x 1-3/8" (9.5 x 35 mm) shaft and is available in two mounting styles: straight shank and Belgian type, allowing flexibility based on your specific needs. These electro-formed diamond drills boast a thin wall with a 1/2" (12.7 mm) deep multi-layer of diamonds and bonding matrix, perfect for high-speed drilling in flat (plate) glass. However, due to their fragile nature, they require careful handling and must be used in a precision machine, avoiding excessive pressure. Always perform sharpening or "dressing" before use to enhance cutting capabilities, and employ a dressing stone for optimal performance. Safety is paramount; always wear proper gear, work on a flat surface, and utilize a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) when using electrical tools with water or coolant. Following these precautions ensures both operator safety and drill longevity, making the DCD214 an invaluable addition to your toolkit.

CRL DCD and HBT Series Electro-Formed Diamond Drills have a thin wall with a 1/2" (12.7 mm) deep multi-layer of diamonds and bonding matrix. These drills are designed for high speed, high production drilling, and produce outstanding results when exacting conditions are met.


Due to the fragile nature of these types of drills, they should be used in a precision machine, never allowing too much pressure to be applied. It is important to handle these types of diamond drills with care and use on flat surfaces only. Sharpening or "dressing" of these drills before each use will substantially increase their cutting capabilities. A dressing stone is a recommended necessity when working with an Electro-Formed Diamond Drill.

IMPORTANT NOTE: CRL DCD and HBT Series Diamond Drills have a very thin wall which makes them EXTREMELY FRAGILE. They are intended for the drilling of flat (plate) glass ONLY, in a true running, production type drilling press.

NEVER perform any type of freehand drilling. The use of a hand drill requieres a stabilization base such as a our GDB1 & GDB2 Glass Drilling Bases. Extreme care and caution should be used as the use of these drill in any other manner other than as specified may damage the bit and void warranty.

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 Interrupter 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.
