Graphite Machining
Turning graphite components and profiles
Advantages of Using PCD Inserts
PCD tools are highly wear-resistant and fairly durable for cutting through the toughest materials. Carbide bases add strength and stability to the structure, and PCD tools are ideal for precision cutting. The fine finish obtained by PCD polishing is often referred to as a “diamond” finish. Because PCD tools are so durable, they retain sharp edges much longer than traditional tools and have an excellent lifespan while maintaining high cutting and polishing accuracy. They can also be used to cut material at high speeds, increasing removal rates and reducing the time required to complete machining tasks.
