Cluster Diamond Tools

Cluster diamond tools are grinding or cutting tools where multiple diamond segments are grouped together on a single tool body. Unlike single-segment or continuous rim tools, cluster tools maximize contact area with the workpiece while maintaining efficient cutting and heat dissipation.

Common Types

1. Cluster Diamond Grinding Wheels

   • Typically used for precision grinding of hard materials like ceramics, carbide, glass, and composites.

   • Clusters of diamond segments provide better cooling and chip removal, extending tool life.

2. Cluster Diamond Saw Blades

   • Segments are grouped in a “clustered” pattern on the rim.

   • Excellent for cutting hard stone, concrete, and engineered materials.

   • Reduces vibration and improves cutting speed compared to single-segment blades.

3. Cluster Mounted Points

   • Small, clustered diamonds on a rotary tool for fine shaping or deburring.

   • Ideal for toolroom work, molds, and precision finishing.

Key Advantages

• Higher Material Removal Rate (MRR): More diamond segments contact the surface at once.

• Longer Tool Life: Better heat dissipation prevents premature wear.

• Improved Surface Finish: Clustered arrangement reduces chipping.

• Versatility: Can grind, cut, or shape extremely hard materials.

Applications

• Precision grinding of carbide, ceramics, and composites

• Cutting granite, marble, engineered stone

• Toolroom operations like deburring, polishing, and mold finishing
