Nickel Bond
SMART CUT® Diamond & CBN Micro Drills, Sintered (Metal Bond)
SMART CUT® 005DME MCDU
SMART CUT® 005DME diamond micro drills are produced using electroplated (nickel bond) galvanic plating process. These tools can be used for drilling and machining large variety of materials such as Precision Optics, Silicon Carbide, Boron Nitride, Boron Carbide, Alumina Ceramics, Silicon, Sapphire & Yag, Glass, Quartz, & Pyrex Tubing & Many Other Applications.
Small diameter below .020” (0.5mm) are made using diamond plating (galvanic) method, where the diamond crystals are deposited evening on the tip evenly over time. The steel body using is usually high speed steel ranging in hardness from 40 to 50 Rockwell scale C. Precision tolerances are maintain on diameter.
SMART CUT® 010DME (SMCDU)
SMART CUT® 010DME diamond micro drills are produced using electroplated (nickel bond) galvanic plating process. These tools can be used for drilling and machining large variety of materials such as Precision Optics, Silicon Carbide, Boron Nitride, Boron Carbide, Alumina Ceramics, Silicon, Sapphire & Yag, Glass, Quartz, & Pyrex Tubing & Many Other Applications.
Small diameter below .020” (0.5mm) are made using diamond plating (galvanic) method, where the diamond crystals are deposited evening on the tip evenly over time.
The steel body using is usually high speed steel ranging in hardness from 40 to 50 Rockwell scale C. Precision tolerances are maintain on diameter. Diamond sizes used range form 6 microns to 120 microns. Head length made in proportion to diameter of the tool. Usually it cannot exceed 15 times the diameter of the tool. Diamond grit size used in in proportion to diameter of the drill tip and can range form 3 to 70 microns. shank size is usually 1/8” (3.2mm) or .040” (1mm).
