Five groups of diamond turning tools, listed from the most widely used to the most specialised.
01
Sintered polycrystalline diamond tip on a carbide substrate. Fine, medium and coarse grain grades of roughly 2, 10 and 25 µm.
Best for: aluminium alloys, copper, MMC, CFRP
02
A 5 to 30 µm diamond coating on WC-Co inserts. Suits complex geometries and chip breakers that PCD cannot offer.
Best for: graphite, CFRP, green ceramics
03
Binder-free diamond sheet of about 0.3 to 1.0 mm, laser cut and brazed to carbide. Very sharp edge and long life in abrasive material.
Best for: aluminium above 12% Si, MMC, CFRP
04
Natural, HPHT or CVD crystal tools with an edge radius of about 10 to 50 nm, for ultra-precision diamond turning.
Best for: optical mirrors, infrared optics, NiP moulds
05
Binder-free nanopolycrystalline diamond, plus PCD grooving, threading, boring and form tools, and diamond burnishing tools.
Best for: piston grooves, bores, profile parts

See the full application guideAbove about 700 °C diamond reacts with iron, nickel and cobalt, so it wears quickly on steel, cast iron and nickel alloys. For those materials use PCBN, carbide or ceramic inserts. If an enquiry is better served by another tool, we will say so.
1
Workpiece material, operation, insert code or drawing, and the quantity you need.
2
We check grade, geometry and cutting data against your application and flag any mismatch.
3
Price, lead time, Incoterms and payment terms, with the manufacturer's datasheet attached.
4
Order confirmation, shipping documents, packing and tracking until the goods arrive.
[MINIMUM ORDER QUANTITY OR VALUE]. Single-insert trial orders: [CONFIRM].
No. Diamond is for non-ferrous metals, composites, graphite and similar materials. Use PCBN, carbide or ceramic for ferrous work.
PCD lasts longer and holds a sharper edge. CVD-coated inserts cost less and can have complex chip-breaker geometry. Send your application and we will recommend one.
[CONFIRM WITH YOUR MANUFACTURER: custom tip shapes, edge preparation, minimum quantities and lead time.]
