ELECTROPLATED DIAMOND BALLS

Electroplated Diamond Balls are precision grinding and finishing tools where a steel, carbide, or other rigid spherical substrate is coated with a single layer of diamond. They’re designed for applications that require extremely fine detail, high precision, and the ability to work in hard-to-reach contours.

Key Features

• Single-layer diamond coating → All the diamond particles are exposed for aggressive cutting.
• High precision spherical form → Ensures consistent contact with the workpiece.
• Nickel bond → Holds the diamond securely while allowing excellent grit exposure.
• Variety of grit sizes → From coarse (fast stock removal) to fine (smooth finishing).

Typical Applications

• Grinding & shaping in ceramics, glass, quartz, and stone.
• Deburring precision holes, slots, and radii.
• Sculpting in hard materials like carbide or composite.
• Mold and die work for polishing complex 3D contours.
• Aerospace, medical, and optical component finishing.

Advantages

• High material removal rate for hard/brittle materials.
• Maintains shape well due to hard substrate.
• Can be custom-made in specific diameters.
• Works with rotary tools, CNC machines, and precision handpieces.

Common Sizes & Specs

• Diameters: 0.5 mm to 50 mm+
• Shank: Usually 1/8″ (3 mm) or 1/4″ (6 mm)
• Grits: 40–600 mesh (coarse to ultra-fine)
• Coating Coverage: Full sphere.
