Preparation and Usage Guidelines
 Diamond
Innovations’ quality systems are registered under ISO 9001.- Use a sharp edge whenever possible
for most applications.
- For severely interrupted and roughing
cuts use honed edge of ~0.025 mm to avoid edge chippage.
- A neutral or slightly positive rake
angle (5 - 8°) with up to 10 - 13° clearance angle is recommended for
most applications.
- Do not use high rake (15 - 20°)
and clearance angles (20 - 25°) as recommended for tungsten carbide cutters.
This tends to cause tool edge chippage on roughing and interrupted cuts in metalworking.
- 10 - 15° positive rake angles
minimize burring for soft copper alloy and plastic materials.
- Use neutral or 3 - 5° negative
rake angle for machining sintered tungsten carbide and ceramic materials.
- Rigid machining system with sufficient
speeds and horsepower is paramount.
- Generally no coolant is required
except for improving chip removal from the cutting zone, if desired.
