Abstract

A diamond drill consists of a core and a pair of abrasive diamond tips which are joined to constitute a diamond tip and core assembly in the form of a flat plate. The diamond tips have chamfering sections for providing a cutting blade of a diameter smaller than that of a cutting blade provided by finishing blade sections thereof. The chamfering sections can be used not only for chamfering an edge of a glass plate defining an opening but for cutting a non-circular opening. In another embodiment, an abrasive diamond ring is installed on a shank and used for chamfering an edge of a glass plate defining an opening or for cutting a non-circular opening having a small corner.
