SULAK Vertical Glass Drilling Machine

A single bad hole can ruin a finished piece of glass — and the time, material, and labor that went into it. That’s the kind of loss that stings, especially when deadlines are tight and margins are thin. SULAK vertical glass drilling machines take that risk off the table. 

Engineered for clean, burr-free holes and smooth daily operation, these machines give glass fabricators the drilling precision they need without the headaches they don’t. 

Distributed by Matodi Group, SULAK’s vertical drills combine compact design, durable construction, and operator-friendly controls into machines that earn their keep on your shop floor — day after day.

Precision Glass Hole Drilling With a Compact Footprint

Floor space in most glass shops is already spoken for. SULAK designed their vertical drilling machines with that reality front and center. 

Both the VTS 04 Boxer Maxi and the VTS 03 Scout occupy a surprisingly small footprint while delivering the kind of hole quality you’d expect from much larger, more expensive equipment.

The vertical orientation does more than save space, though. By holding the glass upright during drilling, SULAK’s design eliminates the scratching problems that plague horizontal drills. 

Your glass stays pristine throughout the entire drilling process, resulting in fewer rejected pieces and less wasted material. 

For shops producing shower doors, glass doors with hardware cutouts, or architectural panels with mounting holes, that scratch-free advantage pays dividends on virtually every job.

VTS 04 Boxer Maxi: Heavy-Duty Drilling in a Compact Package

The VTS 04 Boxer Maxi is built for shops that need reliable, precise hole drilling without consuming valuable floor space. Its dual drilling head system approaches the glass from both sides simultaneously, producing holes that come out clean and completely free of burrs — no secondary finishing required.

Operators love the Boxer Maxi’s one-handed ergonomic controls, which make positioning and drilling feel natural rather than fatiguing over a long shift. The motorized vertical adjustment runs at two speeds, giving you fine control when lining up holes on smaller or more delicate pieces. 

With a drilling range from 1/8″ to 4″ (5mm to 100mm), the Boxer Maxi covers the vast majority of hole sizes glass shops encounter, from small hardware holes to larger cutouts. Power consumption sits at just 1.8 kW — remarkably efficient for a machine this capable.

VTS 03 Scout: The Most Popular SULAK Drill for a Reason

There’s a reason the VTS 03 Scout is SULAK’s best-selling vertical drill: it hits the sweet spot between capability, ease of use, and value. 

This heavy-duty machine drills through glass up to 3/4″ thick, handles hole diameters from 1/4″ to 4″, and accepts a minimum glass size of just 5″ x 2″ — giving you the range to handle both large production runs and smaller custom pieces.

The Scout’s open design is a standout feature. It allows drilling up to 35 1/2″ from the edge of the glass, which means you can place holes precisely where the project demands — not just where the machine allows. 

The built-in inverter lets operators set spindle RPM to match the specific drill bit and glass thickness, which extends bit life and improves hole quality. 

Semi-automatic X-axis movement and precision stops make lining up multiple holes fast and repeatable, so batch work moves quickly without sacrificing accuracy.

Why Glass Fabricators Choose Vertical Drilling

Horizontal drilling machines have been around for decades, but more and more glass shops are making the switch to vertical drills — and for good reason. Beyond the scratch prevention and space savings, vertical glass drilling machines reduce the physical strain on operators. 

There’s no need to lift heavy glass sheets onto a flat table, position them, drill, then lift them off again. The glass stays upright, moves smoothly into position, and stays protected throughout.

For shops already running flat glass fabrication equipment like vertical edgers or CNC machines, adding a SULAK vertical drill creates a natural workflow. Glass moves from one vertical station to the next without awkward transitions between horizontal and vertical orientations. 

A streamlined flow reduces handling time, lowers breakage risk, and keeps your team working efficiently.
