Steps to Order Diamond Tools:
- Specify the diamond carat weight required.
- Specify the diamond quality (click on the diamond type to learn more about it)
+ Blue Dot - Extra Select Grade
+ White Dot - Standard Fine Grade
+ Green Dot - Commercial Grade
+ Red Dot - General Purpose Grade
+ Throwaway - Single
Use Grade
+ Pisces - Single Use Grade
+ VLP - Single Use Grade
- Specify any special shape or type of diamond (chisel point, conical point, etc.)
- Give a full description of the diamond tool shank:
- For tools with a single diameter, specify both diameter and total length.
- For tools with an enlarged or reduced head, specify the diameters and lengths of both the head and tail sections.
- Specify any milled flats, special steel "nose" angles, threaded areas, tapped holes, etc.. Drawings are usually preferred for such tools. The make and model of machine frequently is all we need.
- If the tool is to be used to form convex (male) radii on a grinding wheel, as opposed to simply a straight dress, please tell us. Radius dressing requires us to perform an additional machining operation to locate the diamond point concentrically with the tool diameter, so that a properly formed wheel radius results.
Diamond Qualities:
+ Blue Dot
(extra select grade) - specially selected octahedron or dodecahedron diamonds of the finest quality, exhibiting exceptionally sound internal structures and superb external shape which permits four to five resettings. These are the finest natural diamond wheel dressers available.
+ White Dot
(standard fine grade) - selected octahedron or dodecahedron diamonds of fine quality. Internal structure is very sound, and shape is particularly good, allowing an average of three resettings. Although this is our "second" quality, it is superior to many manufacturers' "first" qualities.
+ Green Dot
(commercial grade) - sound industrial diamonds with good external shape suitable for two resettings with proper use.
+ Red Dot
(general purpose grade) - a medium grade industrial diamond exhibiting reasonably sound internal structure, and capable of being reset one time when properly used.
+ Throwaway
a quality of diamond designed for a single use where initial cost is the most important consideration, or where tools are generally treated roughly by semi-skilled labor.
+ Pisces
a single use quality of even lower cost than throwaway, yet capable of consistent, successful wheel dressing.
+ VLP (Very Low Price)
our lowest cost diamonds, round shape, suitable for non-critical operations where a defined point is not needed.
