Electroplated Diamond Wheels

Electroplated Diamond Wheels – High-Precision Grinding for Hard & Brittle Materials | Braemar USA

Braemar USA’s Electroplated Diamond Wheels are engineered for fast, precise grinding of the hardest and most brittle materials, including carbide, ceramics, glass, quartz, sapphire, silicon carbide, composites, and advanced technical materials.

Manufactured with premium natural diamonds and a single-layer nickel electroplating process, these wheels provide maximum diamond exposure for aggressive cutting, minimal heat generation, and superior surface quality. They deliver instant sharpness, exceptional accuracy, and predictable performance—perfect for CNC grinding, form grinding, tool fabrication, cutoff operations, and precision finishing where profile stability and minimal chipping are essential.

High-Performance Electroplated Bond Technology

Our tightly controlled electroplating process ensures diamond particles are securely anchored to the wheel core. This process maintains an ideal 50% diamond exposure, achieved through a low-temperature, modified Watts nickel bath with reduced current, preventing nickel from “climbing” over the diamond crystals.

Key Benefits:

• Fast, Free-Cutting Action: Minimal heat generation, ideal for aggressive material removal.

• Superior Surface Quality: Clean edges with reduced chipping.

• No Dressing Required: Plug-and-grind operation for convenience.

• Excellent Profile Retention: Maintains complex shapes and forms throughout use.

• Consistent Performance: From the first cut to the last.

These electroplated wheels are particularly effective for brittle materials, where thermal damage must be avoided and precise geometry must be maintained.
