Our Products
On most Dia-form machines two dressers are setup for use in tandem and both can be replaced or interchanged easily and quickly. Mounted adjacent to each other either the roughing and semi-finishing and finishing tools can be setup together. Both dressers are inclined at an angle of 5 degrees to the wheel centerline at the point of contact, providing the optimum cutting conditions. Various angles and radii are available on these forming tools.
Our latest technology and optics allow us to manufacture very specific radii and angles on these form diamonds. If a customer has other specific dimensions not listed simply send a sketch. Although Dia-form dressers were designed for the Dia-form machine many operators use the mono variety of machines.
We offer single point diamond dressers in a wide variety of shapes and weights. Our re-settable tools have 2 or more usable points and can be sent back to us for expert resetting at a fraction of the original cost. Our standard or non-re settable tools are discarded after they have been completely consumed.
All single point diamonds can be set into numerous shank configurations .For special shanks and threads simply supply us with a drawing.
Several, usually seven, smaller diamond stones are mounted in spaced relationship across the working surface of the shank. Multi-Point dressers are an economical substitute for large carat weight single point diamond dressers. Heavier diamonds are used mostly for roughing larger wheels. These tools are available in 2, 3, 5, and 7 stone configurations and on standard, special and tapered shanks.
Impregnated dressers are generally used to straight dress larger wider grinding wheels. These tools have a large concentration of diamond grit held together buy a strong metal matrix that will allow new fresh diamond grains to present themselves as the tool wears. Some important advantages are:
Chisel dressers are used to form accurate profiles on grinding wheels. These tools all consist of a specific angle and a specific radius. A larger radius is generally used for roughing Larger radii and a smaller radius for finishing or producing smaller radii. However unlike the diaform these chisels need to be indicated for accurate performance.
Various shanks, radii, flats and angles are available on these chisels. See below
30 degree included angle | 0.05mm Radius |
40 degree included angle | 0.10mm Radius |
50 degree included angle | 0.20mm Radius |
55 degree included angle | 0.40mm Radius |
60 degree included angle | 0.50mm Radius |
70 degree included angle | 1mm Radius |
