Glass drilling service refers to the process of creating precise holes or perforations in glass surfaces. Glass drilling is required for various applications where holes are needed in glass panels, such as for mounting hardware, plumbing fixtures, electrical wiring, or decorative purposes.

Glass drilling is a delicate process that requires specialized tools and techniques to prevent the glass from cracking or shattering. The drilling is typically performed using diamond-tipped drill bits or diamond core drills. Diamond is used due to its hardness and ability to cut through glass effectively. The drill bits are specifically designed to create clean and precise holes in glass without damaging the surrounding area.

There are several types of glass & sapphire glass drilling techniques used based on the specific requirements of the project and the characteristics of the glass & sapphire glass being drilled. Here are some common types of glass drilling:

Conventional Drilling

Conventional drilling involves using diamond-tipped drill bits to create holes in glass. This method is suitable for drilling standard glass thicknesses and is commonly used for general applications.

Core Drilling

Core drilling, also known as diamond core drilling, is used to create larger-diameter holes in thick glass panels. This technique utilizes a hollow cylindrical drill bit with diamond-impregnated edges to remove a core of glass material, leaving a clean hole.

Countersink Drilling

Countersink drilling is a technique used to create a hole with a tapered edge or a wider opening at the top. This allows for the flush insertion of screws or bolts, providing a neat and aesthetically pleasing finish. Countersink drilling is often used in applications where fasteners need to be concealed.

Trepanning

Trepanning is a specialized drilling technique used to create larger holes or openings in glass panels. It involves drilling a series of overlapping smaller holes along the desired perimeter and then removing the central material to achieve the desired hole size or shape.

Step Drilling

Step drilling involves creating holes with multiple diameters or steps in a single drilling operation. This technique is commonly used when different components or fixtures of varying sizes need to be accommodated within a single hole.

Laser Drilling

Laser drilling is a precise and non-contact drilling method that uses laser energy to vaporize or melt the glass, creating a hole. It is often used for highly specialized applications requiring extremely precise and controlled hole dimensions, such as micro-drilling or drilling in fragile or sensitive glass materials.
