What is a boring bar tipped with diamond or CBN?

A diamond-tipped boring bar is a highly specialized tool used for precise turning and drilling. The boring bar is usually made of a solid carrier material and has one or more cutting surfaces made of polycrystalline diamond (PCD) or diamond coatings. Thanks to the extreme hardness and wear resistance of the diamond, this tool is ideal for demanding machining of hard or abrasive materials. Diamond-coated boring bars offer high precision, long tool life and efficient machining in precision mechanics.

What are the advantages over other tools?

Diamond-tipped drill rods offer several advantages over conventional carbide or HSS drilling tools:

1. Longer service life: Thanks to the high hardness and wear resistance of diamond, diamond-tipped boring bars last significantly longer than conventional tools, which reduces maintenance and tool change costs.

2. High precision: The extreme sharpness of the diamond cutting surfaces ensures precise and even processing with outstanding surface quality.

3. Efficient processing: With diamond-tipped tools, materials can be machined at higher cutting speeds, which shortens production times and increases efficiency.

4. Less heat development: Diamond tools generate less friction and therefore less heat, which protects both the tool and the workpiece being machined.

5. Processing difficult materials: Diamond-tipped boring bars enable the machining of extremely abrasive and hard materials that conventional cutting materials cannot handle efficiently.
