PCD & PCBN Cutting Tools
Solar Diamond Tools: PCD & PCBN High-Performance Inserts
Solar Diamond Tools represents the cutting edge of super-abrasive machining. By utilizing Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) and Polycrystalline Cubic Boron Nitride (PCBN), Solar provides solutions for materials that are traditionally "unmachinable" with standard carbide. These tools are designed for high-speed finishing and long-run production where dimensional stability and surface integrity are non-negotiable.

Technical Advantages
Extreme Hardness & Wear Resistance
PCD is the hardest known material, while PCBN is second only to diamond. This allows for cutting speeds up to 10 times faster than carbide with a tool life that can exceed it by 50 to 100 times.
Superior Thermal Stability
Solar PCBN inserts are engineered to maintain their cutting edge at temperatures exceeding 1000°C, making them ideal for “Hard Part Turning” where the heat actually softens the material ahead of the cut.
High-Precision Laser Edging
Solar utilizes advanced laser-cutting technology to create a perfectly sharp and chip-free cutting edge. This results in lower cutting forces and significantly reduced “burr” formation on the workpiece.
Optimized Chip Breakers
Specialized geometries are laser-ablated into the PCD/PCBN surface to control chip flow in ductile materials like aluminum, preventing “bird-nesting” and protecting the surface finish.
