Applied Diamond’s “Tool” grade CVD diamond is binder-less, fine-grained pure diamond providing more wear resistance, sharper edges and lower cutting forces when rough or finish machining hard or abrasive materials.  Use for machining:

• Silicon aluminum alloys
• Metal matrix composites
• CFRP
• Tungsten carbide
• Platinum and precious metals
• High temperature plastics
• Glass-reinforced epoxy and plastics

and get longer tool lifetime, lower cutting temperatures and no chemical interaction or edge erosion.

Applied Diamond supplies loose, laser cut, free-standing insert tips along with offering a precision brazing service to install tips in your pre-pocketed inserts.  Available in a wide range of standard and custom shapes, we work to provide designs that minimize tool cost and maximize tool productivity.

Our mechanical grade diamond is tailored for extreme conditions and mechanical load.  Our special recipe results in a layered structure for additional hardness and durability.
