Capabilities

The Bodo Gerhard K1 is a single-sided glass drilling system designed to create precise holes in glass sheets and panels. With a drilling diameter range of 3mm to 100mm and a work table of approximately 800mm × 600mm, it handles both small detail work and larger production runs. Manual drilling feed gives operators direct control over speed and pressure, while the grating table design allows water to drain efficiently—essential for keeping glass cool and dust-free during drilling.

Industries & Uses

This equipment serves glass fabricators, architectural glaziers, furniture makers, and custom glass shops. It's ideal for creating drainage holes in shower enclosures, ventilation openings in glass panels, mounting holes for hardware, and decorative elements. Smaller operations and startups often prefer this manual-feed approach for its simplicity and lower cost compared to fully automated systems.

What to Check When Buying

When inspecting this used machine, check the drilling spindle for runout and smooth operation, examine the table surface for cracks or warping, and verify that the manual feed mechanism moves smoothly without grinding or excessive play. Ask the seller about maintenance history, coolant system condition, and whether the water collection tray drains properly. Given its 1991 manufacture date, confirm all adjustment mechanisms lock securely and that the steel frame shows no significant rust or damage.
