Diamond drills made utilizing SMART CUT® technology are much more aggressive than your conventional drills. They can drill faster, while still leaving behind a smooth finish free of material deformation.
In most cases tools manufactured utilizing SMART CUT® technology, will outlast other conventional nickel bonded diamond & CBN drills. SMART CUT® diamond & CBN tools are more sturdy than tools manufactured with conventional technologies. They are capable to retain their form and bond configuration all the way through the tools life.
SMART CUT® Multi Layered Electroplated Diamond Drills have three diamond layers impregnated inside the bond matrix. Unlike Many Other drill Types, they wear evenly, and are known for their consistency. You will get consistent cutting speed, and overall consistent performance, with minimum amount of dressing even on the hardest to cut materials
Only the highest quality synthetic diamonds and raw materials are used in the manufacturing process. The highest quality standards and product consistency is maintained, using sophisticated inspection and measurement equipment.
SMART CUT® Multi Layered Electroplated Diamond Drills are the best investment you can make! Although they may cost more than electroplated (nickel bond), Diamond Drills. They will more than pay for themselves in terms of overall performance and provide best Return on Investment.
SMART CUT® Multi Layered Electroplated Diamond Drills have diamonds oriented and evenly distributed in a bond matrix. Providing faster, freer cutting action with minimum heat generation. This translates in improved surface finish and minimum chipping.
Electroplated (nickel bond) diamond products usually have a single layer of diamonds, held by a tough durable nickel alloy. Nickel is frequently used as a base for plating diamond. Because of its excellent strength, toughness and flexibility during the plating process. Electroplated diamond products are able to retain their original shape and dimensions thought their working life. Unlike sintered (meal bond) or resin bond diamond products, where diamond particles are buried in bond and held together by metal or resin binder deep inside. Electroplating allows diamond particles to protrude from the bond matrix, providing a free, faster cutting action with minimum heat generation.
They have several layers of diamonds, held by a tough durable nickel alloy. Providing high diamond concentration, better diamond crystal retention and maximum diamond particle (grit) exposure/protrusion ratio. This provides freer, faster cutting action with minimum heat generation. Advantages of this type of technology include: longer tool life, more uniformity in performance, less stress to material being worked on, minimum material deformation, and better preservation of true material micro structure. This is specially important for more delicate, sensitive applications such as: glass, crystals, silicon wafers, carbon composites, sapphire, etc.
Diamonds or CBN Crystals are activated only at the exposed layer. As Bond Matrix layer begin to wear out, diamonds in a new Bond Matrix layer are immediately activated, substituting the already used up diamond layer. The SMART CUT® Bond Diamond Bond makes sure every diamond is in the right place. and at the right time, working where you need it most.
The newly exposed diamonds don’t effect diamonds already working on the material. Unlike many other diamond bonds, diamonds in a SMART CUT® remains sharp and grow sharper with each cut, prolonging product life and consistent performance.
This advanced formulated open diamond bond design insures minimal chipping, fast
cut, constant speed of cut, minimal cutting noise, and most important of all, consistent performance.
Diamond concentration plays a critical role in determining the life and cutting speed of diamond core drills. Higher concentration offers longer tool life and faster cutting speeds, while lower concentration is typically used for softer materials that require a smoother finish.
Diamond core drills generally operate at RPMs between 500 and 3,000, depending on the material being drilled. Softer materials allow for higher RPMs, while harder materials require slower speeds for improved cutting efficiency and to avoid damaging the tool or material. Always adjust RPM according to the specific characteristics of the material and drill size.
The diamond grit size is crucial in determining the cutting speed, surface finish, and precision of diamond core drills. Finer grits provide a smoother surface finish, but may cut more slowly, while coarser grits offer faster cutting speeds but can leave a rougher surface. The choice of grit size depends on the material being drilled and the desired outcome.
The bond type used in diamond core drills influences the drill’s life, durability, and heat resistance. Common bond types for diamond core drills include: Sintered (Metal Bond): Provides a longer tool life and high resistance to wear and heat, making it ideal for drilling hard and abrasive materials. Electroplated: Offers a good combination of speed and precision, typically used for softer materials or applications where a smoother surface finish is needed. Braised Bond: Ideal for applications requiring higher strength, these bonds are used for tougher materials and applications where durability is key. PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond): Used for ultra-hard materials, PCD bond drills offer excellent wear resistance and are ideal for materials like ceramics and composite materials. <:>CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) Diamond: Offers exceptional cutting performance, often used in extremely hard materials like high-performance ceramics and advance.
The kerf, or wall thickness, of diamond core drills is a key variable in determining the overall performance of the drill. Standard core drills typically feature a kerf thickness ranging from 0.5mm to 3.0mm, with thicker kerfs providing longer tool life and greater stability during drilling. Thinner kerfs allow for faster cutting but may wear out quicker and require more frequent maintenance. The selection of kerf thickness depends on the material being drilled and the precision required.
The load/feed rate applied to diamond core drills significantly impacts their performance and lifespan. For tougher materials, feed rates typically range between 5-50 mm/min, while softer materials may allow for higher feed rates. Proper feed rate adjustment ensures optimal tool life and drilling speed, while preventing overheating or excessive wear.
The diameter of the diamond core drill is directly related to the size of the hole you wish to create. Core drills typically range from small diameters (e.g., 3mm) up to large diameters (e.g., 200mm or more). Larger core drills offer greater drilling capacity, while smaller ones provide more precision for fine hole making.
The depth of a diamond drill bit, often referred to as drilling depth, working length, or drilling length, is the maximum depth to which the drill can penetrate the workpiece. Drilling depth in diamond core drills depends on the material, drill size, and equipment. Softer materials allow for deeper holes with faster cutting, while harder materials require slower speeds and lower feed rates to prevent overheating. Larger drill diameters may reduce depth due to more material removal per rotation, often requiring multiple passes. Drilling equipment, including motor power and cooling systems, also plays a key role; more powerful motors and efficient cooling allow for deeper drilling.
For diamond core drills, the bond hardness plays a crucial role in the performance and longevity of the drill. The bond matrix's ability to retain diamonds directly impacts the drilling efficiency and the tool's lifespan. As the hardness of the bond increases, the retention of diamonds improves, but the trade-off is typically a slower cutting speed. A harder bond matrix provides greater tool life but may lead to reduced cutting efficiency.
There are generally three categories for bond hardness in diamond core drills: Soft, Medium, and Hard. The bond's hardness is selected based on the material being drilled. For example, harder materials such as ceramics or hard metals often require a softer bond to allow the diamonds to be released at a controlled rate, preventing excessive wear and improving cutting performance. Conversely, softer and more brittle materials like concrete or certain composites benefit from a harder bond, which maintains the diamond's retention and extends the drill's lifespan, though it may slow the cutting process.
Using the right bond hardness for the material you're drilling is key to optimizing both cutting speed and tool life. A bond that is too soft will cause diamonds to be released too quickly, resulting in faster wear and a shorter drill life. On the other hand, a bond that is too hard may cause the drill to cut slower and require more frequent dressing to expose new diamonds.
The mounting type of a diamond core drill refers to how the drill is secured to the drilling machine or equipment. The mounting type plays a significant role in stability, precision, and overall drilling performance. Here are the typical mounting types for diamond core drills:
Unmounted diamond core drills:
Unmounted diamond core drills are specialized tools designed for precision drilling without being pre-mounted to any specific holding mechanism such as a male, female, or straight shank. These drills comprise a steel tube paired with a diamond-embedded segment, offering flexibility in setup and application.
Shaft Mounting:
In this type, the diamond core drill is mounted directly onto a shaft or spindle of the drilling machine. The shaft typically has a locking mechanism (like a set screw or collar) to securely hold the drill in place. This mounting method ensures a stable connection and allows for precise drilling. Shaft mounting is commonly used in machines where the drill operates at high speeds and requires excellent stability.
Threaded Mounting:
Some diamond core drills feature a threaded arbor or core bit holder, allowing the drill to be screwed directly onto the machine's spindle. This method is commonly found in portable core drilling systems or for specific applications like wet drilling, where easy removal and installation are essential.
Choosing the right mounting type for your diamond core drill depends on factors such as the size of the drill, the type of drilling machine, and the specific application requirements. Proper mounting ensures optimal performance, stability, and safety during the drilling process.
The tolerance range for the outside diameter of diamond core drills varies depending on several factors including the drill's diameter, wall thickness, bond type, and the intended application. These tolerances are crucial as they determine the drill's suitability for precision tasks and influence how the drill interacts with the material it cuts.
For small diamond core drills with diameters less than 10mm, the diameter tolerance typically ranges from ±0.02 to ±0.05 mm. This tight tolerance is necessary for applications that require high accuracy, such as in electronics or medical device manufacturing, where small, precise holes are crucial.
Medium-sized drills, ranging from 10mm to 50mm in diameter, usually have a tolerance of ±0.05 to ±0.15 mm. These are commonly used in mechanical applications and construction where slightly larger variances are acceptable.
Runout is a critical specification for diamond drills as it directly impacts the quality of the holes drilled and the longevity of the tool itself. The term "runout" refers to the degree to which a tool or workpiece deviates from perfect rotation along its central axis. High runout can lead to uneven wear on the tool, compromised hole quality, and increased heat generation, which are particularly detrimental when drilling hard, brittle materials such as glass, ceramics, and certain stones where precision is critical.
Standard and Precision Diamond Drills - Standard diamond drills typically exhibit runout ranging from 0.0005 inches (0.013mm) to 0.002 inches (0.05mm), which is acceptable for general-purpose drilling where absolute precision is not necessary. However, "standard" runout may vary based on the drill's manufacturer and specific applications. Precision diamond drills, manufactured to higher standards with stricter tolerances, usually have runout less than 0.0002 inches (0.005mm), with ultra-precision drills potentially having even tighter runout specifications.
