Free cutting with a rapid cut rate that produces an optimal finish.
Designed to finish harder materials.
Carbide wear parts.
Guide & drill bushings.
Ceramic cylinders.
Heat treated steel.
High nickel stainless steel.
MMX aluminum alloys.
Chrome & plated bores.
Aerospace components.
Medical parts.
EDM recast layer.
Contain 95% raw grain abrasive at the point of attack as opposed to abrasive nylon tools which contain 30% to 40%.
Resin bond diamond crystals that have high friability.
A crystal with high friability creates self-sharpening edges.
Tools are listed by the nominal diameter in which they are intended to be used & the actual sizes are made larger to supply the proper cutting pressure.
If the end user nominal bore is between standard sizes, then the next larger tool should be chosen.
Case Study: Issue: A manufacturer of carbide wear rings was having difficulty achieving their required surface finish. Solution: In this instance, the diamond flex-hone was used in progressively finer grits to create a near mirror finish lowering Ra from 0.7 to 0.05um.
