What we will ask you

Bring what you know. We confirm the details with you during technical review.

  1. What are you cutting or wearing against?Workpiece material and your operating conditions.
  2. What tool shape and edge do you need?Tool geometry, edge finish and how the tool mounts.
  3. What wear or size limits apply?Acceptable wear, dimensional tolerances and surface requirements.

Common questions

All questions
Which diamond tool form should I choose?

Choose single-crystal blanks for very sharp, fine-finish edges. Choose sintered PCD for tougher general cutting. Choose finished tools for a ready geometry. Workpiece, temperature and finish requirement decide.

Does hardness alone make diamond suitable for my tool?

No. Workpiece chemistry, temperature, loading and required surface finish all matter. Diamond is generally unsuited to ferrous metals, for example. We review your conditions before agreeing a form.

What do you need from me to quote a tool or wear part?

Workpiece material, operating conditions, tool or contact geometry, dimensions and tolerances, and surface finish. A dimensioned drawing is best. Custom shapes are reviewed for feasibility.
