Glass drills
|
In today's glass processing industry the demand for drilling holes into glass surfaces have changed significantly. This work might involve anything from drilling the usual holes into normal glass to drilling special-dimension holes into different types and thicknesses of glass.
|
 These diverse demands for glass-drilling have created the need for a greater variety of glass drill types and the associated machinery to operate them. In order to furnish improved results, glaziers now have to select the appropriate type of drill. In most of today's drilling operations so-called core drills are used. They can be divided into two major categories: single layer and multi-layer. The basic difference between the two lies in their life-expectancy. Therefore single layer drills, also known as plate drills, are used for smaller volumes and portable applications, while multi-layer drills have a longer working period. However, in addition to choosing the appropriate type of drill, there are also other factors to consider, such as diamond sharpening, appropriate cooling, speed and pressure, etc. All of these factors influence final drilling performance.
