Catalogue
Electroplated Diamond Milling Tools are superhard single layer abrasive tools, designed for milling, profile machining, grooving, chamfering and forming of hard to machine materials including glass, quartz, ceramics (alumina, zirconia, silicon carbide, etc.), sapphire, stone, composite materials and cemented carbide. They deliver sharp cutting performance and high working efficiency, and produce workpieces with high dimensional accuracy. Complex tool geometries can be customized according to workpiece contours. They are suitable for complex profiles and hard brittle materials that are difficult to process by conventional grinding tools such as resin bonded and metal bonded diamond milling cutters.
Electroplated Diamond Milling Tools adopt electroplated nickel bond technology, which firmly locks premium diamond particles onto steel or tungsten carbide substrate surfaces. During grinding, thanks to the high exposure of diamond grains, the tool maintains consistently sharp cutting edges. They are particularly suitable for CNC milling, robotic machining, ultrasonic machining and precision manual processing.
Newdiamondtools Company is a professional manufacturer of Electroplated Diamond Milling Tools. We provide custom made Electroplated Diamond Milling Tools with varied diameters, shank diameters, working lengths, diamond grit sizes and tool geometries, according to customers’ cutting materials, matched equipment, milling tool dimensions and workpiece contours.
Main Advantages of Electroplated Diamond Milling Tools
The electroplating process firmly retains diamond grains with high grit exposure rate. Its single layer diamond structure provides sharp cutting action under low machining pressure; ample chip clearance between abrasive grains facilitates chip evacuation. The electroplated layer ensures stable tool profile. Ideal for hard brittle materials such as glass, ceramics, quartz and sapphire. Applicable to precision profiles, cavities, grooving, chamfering, radiusing, 3 D curved surfaces and forming operations. It effectively reduces chipping, cracking and micro cracks on workpieces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What about the service life of Electroplated Diamond Milling Tools?
Single-layer electroplated diamond grains are firmly bonded. High-quality Electroplated Diamond Milling Tools deliver excellent wear resistance and resist grain wear and pull-out when processing hard-brittle materials. Compared with ordinary carbide milling cutters, service life is greatly improved, tool-change frequency is reduced, and cutting efficiency is high. Nevertheless, service life is shorter than that of metal-bonded diamond milling cutters.
Water-cooled wet cutting or dry cutting during machining?
A: Water-cooled wet machining is strongly recommended. Sufficient cooling and lubrication dissipate heat generated during cutting, reduce tool wear, and prevent workpiece cracking and chipping caused by thermal stress, improving machining stability and finished-part surface quality. Short-time dry cutting is acceptable when water cooling is unavailable due to equipment or site conditions, yet long-term continuous dry grinding is not advised. Performance depends on actual cutting conditions.
Are chip clogging issues common during tool operation?
A: Chip clogging rarely occurs. Diamond grains are uniformly distributed in a single layer on the tool surface, with ample open gaps between particles. Powder-like and granular debris generated during machining can be quickly evacuated, effectively reducing chip clogging and tool burning to ensure continuous processing.
Can Electroplated Diamond Milling Tools be re-sharpened for reuse?
A: Re-sharpening is not supported. These tools adopt a single-layer electroplated diamond construction. Once the surface diamond grains are consumed, no backup abrasive layer remains for reconditioning. New custom Electroplated Diamond Milling Tools are required. Subject to feasibility, worn tools can be returned to our factory for stripping and re-plating service.
What machining accuracy can these tools achieve?
A: Supported by precision electroplating forming technology, the tools feature accurate contour dimensions and high stability. Normal machining accuracy can be stably controlled within ±0.02 mm, meeting high-precision forming requirements such as precision grooving, contour modification, 3D curved-surface machining, chamfering, and radiusing.
What machining scenarios suit different diamond grit sizes?
A: Coarse grit (60#–80#) is suitable for high-stock-removal grooving, rough cavity machining, and fast material removal. Medium grit (100#–140#) is suitable for semi-finishing, edge trimming, and chamfering, balancing machining efficiency and surface finish. Fine grit (170#–400#) is suitable for fine grinding, curved-surface finishing, and precision polishing where superior surface quality is required.
What are the storage and operating precautions for the tools?
A: Store tools separately to avoid collision and squeezing between tools, which may cause diamond grain detachment or tip damage. Check tool concentricity before use to prevent run-out at high rotational speeds. Overloading or forced hard-on-hard cutting is prohibited during machining. A steady feed rate can effectively extend tool service life.
Can Electroplated Diamond Milling Tools be used for 3D curved-surface and special-shape forming machining?
A: Fully applicable. Electroplated diamond tools can be customized to diverse special-shaped contours while maintaining stable geometry without deformation during operation. They are suitable for non-standard precision tasks including complex 3D curved surfaces, special-shaped cavities, irregular radii, and curved-surface forming.
