Diamond Cutting Tools

Diamond [PCD and CVD] cutting tools are used to machine hard non ferrous materials.

                              

Advantages of Synthetic Diamond Tools:

  • Increased tool life
  • Ability to cut a wide range of materials
  • Resists chipping in interrupted cuts
  • High material removal rates
  • Reduced cycle time
  • Improved part size control
  • Improved part finish
  • Lower scrap rates
  • Reduced downtime
  • Reduced per part machining costs
  • Less inspection time

We can supply PCD diamond custom made cutting tools per specification for your milling, turning, drilling, counterboring, chamfering and porting applications. We can also recondition and repair existing PCD tools.
