Head length and drill depth depends and is in proportion on diameter of the drill. Plated drills have The shank size varies depending on diameter of the drill. Our multi layered electroplated solid drills have a transition angle where the shank is larger then the head length. This provides more accurate drilling, and support. Hence these small plated miniature drills can withstand more pressure and force then typical music wire plated drills.

Typical applications include drilling precious and semi precious stones, beads, glass, crystals, ultra hard and brittle ceramic, composites, hard metals, and many other. Used on: Foredoom, Dremel Machines, High Speed Air Spindles, & other equipment running at 9,000+ RPM. Custom Manufacturing for Multi Layered Electroplated solid drills is available. The Height of diamond coating can be adjusted to fit your particular requirements. Standard configuration of standard stock diamond the miniature diamond drills is flat end cylinder but the angle and radius can also be customized if needed.
Recommended RPM’s: The RPM values provided in this table serve as general guidelines for typical drilling applications. However, the optimal RPM settings will vary based on several factors including the desired cut quality, drill depth, material hardness, density, shape, and porosity. Please see our Guide on How to Properly Use Diamond Drills. To ensure the highest level of performance and safety, we advise consulting with our technical support team. They can assist in tailoring these parameters to your specific application, ensuring that you use the optimal RPM and appropriate coolant type. Properly adjusting these factors can significantly enhance the lifespan of your diamond drills and minimize the risk of tool breakage.
Recommended Feed Rate: starting at lower feed rates and gradually increasing to find the optimal drilling ratio is crucial for precision drilling. It is important to continuously clear the drill of grinding debris to prevent clogging and overheating.
Plunge feeding is generally not recommended due to the increased risk of material damage and tool wear. Instead, we advocate for the use of a peck feed cycle. This technique involves withdrawing the drill periodically to clear debris, which helps in maintaining the integrity of both the drill and the workpiece. This method not only helps develop a better "feel" for the material and the process but also improves the overall drilling efficiency by reducing stress on the tool and preventing overheating.
Electroplated diamond drills usually have a single layer of diamonds, held by a tough durable nickel alloy. Providing high diamond concentration and maximum diamond particle (grit) exposure/protrusion ratio. This provides freer, faster drilling action with minimum heat generation. Electroplated Diamond Drills provide excellent performance on softer materials ranging from 6 to 1 on mohs scale of hardness. While electroplated diamond drills, specifically manufactured by UKAM Industrial, will still work on harder materials (up to 9 on mohs scale). Diamond drill life will be (very short) significantly reduced. Diamonds stay on the surface of the drill allowing for fast material removal. Perfect for softer, more ductile, and gummable materials.
Not recommended for drilling very abrasive materials such as sandstone and concrete (they will wear out on these materials almost immediately). Electroplated Diamond Drills last less than metal bond drills and are the least expensive diamond drills available. They provide very smooth surface finish quality & less thermal damage to the part being drilled.
Electroplated diamond drills are frequently used in glass and composite industries (as well as some photonics / optics) applications. Electroplated Diamond Drills are designed for small & occasional use. They are widely used by beginning diamond drill users (novices) in numerous hobby/craft applications. Such as drilling beads, clock faces, and etc. (not recommended for professional or serious industrial use).
They are also usually more forgiving to operator/user drilling mistakes than most other types of diamond drills/bits. Electroplated core drills are just about the only type of diamond drill that may be used dry (without coolant) in a few applications if needed. Best performance and results will be achieved when drilling less than 1/4" (6.35mm) into material. Performance/Life in many harder materials will decline when drilling thicker materials.
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.
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.
