Diamond Plated Hole Saws

Diamond Plated Hole Saws – Precision Drilling for Glass, Ceramics & Advanced Materials

Diamond Plated Hole Saws from Braemar USA are high-precision diamond hole saws, plated diamond core saws, and diamond abrasive drilling tools engineered for accurate, clean, and high-speed drilling in glass, ceramics, optical substrates, quartz, sapphire, and other advanced materials. Because these diamond plated hole saws use a tightly controlled electroplated bond, they deliver exceptional edge quality, fast penetration, and reliable geometry in both CNC and manual drilling systems.

Manufactured with premium synthetic diamond, controlled nickel plating, and precision-machined steel or carbide bodies, Braemar hole saws maintain consistent performance across demanding applications. These thin-wall plated designs reduce friction, minimize breakout, and improve heat control—making them ideal for water-fed spindles, rotary hand tools, micro-machining stations, and fully automated CNC drilling platforms.

High-Performance Electroplated Diamond Construction

Braemar USA utilizes a single-layer diamond electroplating process that securely anchors sharp diamond grains to the tool body. This provides:

• Fast, aggressive cutting with low cutting pressure

• Clean edges and reduced chipping in brittle substrates

• Strong diamond retention for long tool life

• Accurate and repeatable hole diameters

• Excellent thermal behavior, especially with coolant assist

This structure makes our diamond tube saws, diamond coring saws, and thin-wall plated hole saws ideal for precision drilling in fragile materials where surface integrity matters.

Applications

Braemar Diamond Plated Hole Saws are designed for drilling:

• Glass (soda-lime, borosilicate, tempered starts)
