Glass drilling

There are some requirements for drilling. Thus, the object to drilling holes must be as thick as from 3 to 50 mm, and the hole’s diameter must be from 4 to 100 mm. It is possible to countersink holes for fasteners or tempering to guarantee maximal safety from the occurrence of cracks or chips during further processing. The glass beveling or making glass matte does not interfere with the process if only the technology is observed.

We offer you this service done using the most modern equipment made by highly skilled professionals, who know how to make sure the perfect result. Our equipment allows making holes in mirrors, glasses, and triplex. As a result, you get the needed openings of required diameter and perfectly suitable forms – from 40 mm in diameter (curved inner holes). The allowable glass thickness is from 4 to 19 mm.

The drilling procedure has its peculiarities. Thus, drilling using diamond drills is forbidden without constant cooling, as it will spoil the blank. Machines for work that do not have circulating coolant make the cooling of the tool using water, soda or emulsol.

To avoid unwanted chipped glass, all drills discontinue their work after the minimal feed of the coolant is stopped. Another important nuance is that drilling must be necessarily done from the reverse side.

If the double-sided technology is used to drill, the glass is being drilled from the facial side first, and then the completing drilling is done on the reverse side. It is important to keep to the difference between the drills’ diameters. That is, the best solution would be to entrust such work to professionals, who will make sure the correspondence of the work done to all nuances of requirements.
