Compax diamond tool blanks have a hardness approaching single-crystal diamond and two to three times that of cemented tungsten carbide. The abrasion resistance is about 100 times greater than tungsten carbide. Compax Diamond blanks have an integrally bonded substrate of cemented tungsten carbide to provide additional mechanical support for the abrasive layer, increasing impact resistance and for ease of braze attachment in tool fabrication

Compax diamond tool blanks are available in three product grades: 1300, 1500, 1600

Compax diamond tools are capable of high material removal rates in production boring, turning and milling operations while providing consistently fine surface finishes.
