CRL DCD516 5/16″ DCD Series Electro-Formed Diamond Drill, Straight Shank
C.R. Laurence DCD516 5/16″ DCD Series Straight Shank Electro-Formed Diamond Drill is engineered for fast cutting and high production runs, making it an essential tool for glass drilling professionals. With its thin-walled design and a 1/2″ (12.7 mm) deep multi-layer of diamonds, this drill excels in delivering precise results in exacting conditions. The DCD Series features a robust extra-long shank measuring 1-3/8″ x 3/8″ (35 x 10 mm), ensuring a secure grip during operation. Designed exclusively for flat (plate) glass drilling, these diamond drills should only be used in a precision machine to avoid excessive pressure that could compromise their integrity. The DCD516 is available in two mounting styles-Straight Shank or Belgian Type-catering to various glass drilling machines. Proper handling is crucial; utilizing a dressing stone before each use will greatly enhance cutting performance. Safety is paramount when using the DCD516. Always wear appropriate safety gear, including gloves and eye protection, and work on stable, flat surfaces. Additionally, employing a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is essential when using electric tools with water. Remember, these drills are extremely fragile; handle them with care to maintain their longevity and avoid damage.

These
CRL Electro-Formed Diamond Drills are thin-walled, with a 1/2″ (12.7 mm) deep multi-layer of diamonds and bonding matrix designed for high speed, high production drilling. These drills give outstanding results when exacting conditions are met. The CRL DCD 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 HBT Series features Belgian style mounting threads, also known as 1/2″ (12.7 mm, gas thread), which are popular choices for U.S. and European glass drilling machines.
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.
