• This tool is also used to processed several materials like tungsten carbide, ceramics, glass, ferrites, powdered materials, and titanium graphite composite.
• Various work areas also use metal bond diamond mounted points for various applications like metalworking, cylindrical, surface, cutoff, and tool & cutter.
• Core drills, hole saws, reamers, dressing disks, and custom tools industries also use metal bond diamond mounted points.
• For machinery, you can easily install this tool together with an electric grinder, engraving machines, hanging mill, and hand electric drill.

Advantages of Using Diamond Mounted Point

When it comes to grinding applications, this mounted point is the most recommended and used tool because of its wide range of advantages, especially in the manufacturing process. Its wide variety of advantages and benefits contributes a lot to various fields of specialization.

• This mounted point tool works remarkably on several exteriors like glass, refractories, ceramics, silicon, semiconductors, and quartz.
• It can provide a highly durable and long service life compared to other grinding wheels. This is what makes it ideal because of Its low-cost maintenance feature.
• Metal bond diamond mounted points excellently fit on various work like tool cutting, glass grinding, ceramic grinding or form cutting, fine detail work, cutting, engraving, carving, finishing, jade grinding, and mold repair.
• It can efficiently hold the shape of a material with its strong holding capacity and form.
• Its durability is very evident because of the decreased time in dressing frequency.
• This tool can work well under wet conditions or flood coolant because it consists of the hardest matrix.
• It also has high material removal rate with the use of coolant substances especially on operations like creep feed grinding.
• This mounted tool has excellent grinding performance especially on hard to rough materials such as hard alloys, ceramic materials, magnetic materials, glass materials, and many more.

How Diamond Mounted Point is Manufactured

When it comes to manufacturing this type of mounted point, there are three (3) different processes being done.

• Cold press mode

A transition layer is being pressed during this process. The pressed transition layer has no diamonds while another layer that has diamond particles is being selected to form the body of the grinding wheel. The segments will be unified and attached to the body of the mounting point by using slots or teeth. Afterward, the mounted points will be cold-pressed and put in a sintering furnace. It will be sintered without pressing it.

• Semi hot press mode 

After cold pressing the mounted point, it is improved in this process by supplementing the sintering process. Throughout the grinding process, it is important to moderate the pressure and that is done by adding applicable mold. But you have to observe proper control when it comes to pressure. Any pressure applied on it should be less than the amount of pressure that is used in the hot press mode.

• Hot-press mode 

During this process, on an induction unit under preset pressure level, the diamond particles are sintered directly on the molds. After that, using a high-frequency laser welding or by applying the mosaic method of mechanical welding, the diamond segments are attached to the mounted point.

Tips on Using Diamond Mounted Point

To efficiently utilize this mounted tool, consider these tips:

• To ensure high quality and performance on your outcome, it is very important to choose a suitable tooling material. Get to know the background application of the diamond tool you will be using. This will lessen the possibility of choosing the wrong tool.
• When you are using the mounted point, check if the matrix is being worn out to exposed the diamond particles that will be used in the cutting process.
• Check the hardness of the material when selecting suitable tooling. There’s no need to use the same amount of dust for grinding hard concrete. You can use fine dust for hard concrete but the opposite of it is applied on soft concrete. This will give you a lot of dust and higher grindings.
• When you choose the wrong tooling, the first thing that might happen is that the machine might run but nothing happens in the process. Another thing is the diamonds might be too hard to cut due to the heat or glaze. This happens more on hard concrete. In other instances, the diamonds might wear out the tool quickly especially when it is cut too much.
• To maximize the use of this tool, find the balance of the use of diamond and productivity by finding the “sweet spot”. This talks about the hardness of concrete materials. With this, it is very important to understand how each bond’s hardness works so you would be able to find the sweet spot. You can do this by choosing the appropriate diamond bond with the hardness of concrete.
• The “rule of thumb” is used to understand the hardness of concrete materials. Try to remember the numerous bond types or matrix bonds such as a hard bond, medium bond, soft bond, and extra soft bond. For soft concrete, use a hard bond diamond. For medium concrete, use a medium bond diamond. For hard concrete, you can use a soft bond diamond. And for very hard concrete, an extra soft bond diamond is applied.
