Solar Diamond Tools: Electroplated Products

Solar Diamond Tools offers a premium line of electroplated products designed for high-precision grinding, cutting, and shaping. Unlike metal-bond or resin-bond tools where the abrasive is distributed throughout the matrix, electroplated tools feature a single, dense layer of super-abrasive particles (Diamond or CBN) bonded to a rigid steel core using a nickel plating process. This results in maximum abrasive exposure, allowing for aggressive material removal and the maintenance of complex geometries throughout the tool's life.

Specialized Product Inventory

Based on our core electroplated range, we offer specialized solutions for diverse industrial applications:

Diamond File: Designed for precision hand-finishing of hardened dies, molds, and carbide components.

Diamond CBN ID Grinding Wheel: Optimized for internal diameter grinding in hardened steels and superalloys, providing superior thermal stability and precision.

Diamond Cut-Off Wheel: Engineered for high-speed slicing of brittle materials, ceramics, and quartz with minimal kerf loss.

Special Wheel: Custom-engineered wheels tailored to unique machine specifications and surface finish requirements.

Special Shape Tool: Form-grinding tools designed to maintain intricate profiles for aerospace and automotive component manufacturing.

Technical Advantages

Maximum Abrasive Exposure

Because the diamond or CBN crystals are not buried in a bond, they remain fully exposed, providing the most aggressive cutting action available in super-abrasive technology.

Superior Form Retention

The rigid steel core ensures the tool does not lose its shape under high pressure, making electroplated products the industry standard for profile and form grinding.

Cooler Cutting Action

High exposure of abrasive particles allows for better coolant flow and heat dissipation, significantly reducing the risk of thermal damage to the workpiece.

No Dressing Required

Electroplated tools do not require “dressing” or “opening” throughout their life; they provide high performance from the first cut until the layer is exhausted.
