To ensure optimal performance and tool longevity, please observe the following guidelines when using ultra-precision diamond cutting tools:
1. Tool Specification Selection
Match Tool Parameters to Workpiece Requirements
Select appropriate tool specifications (radius, rake angle, clearance angle, etc.) according to the material properties and processing requirements of the workpiece. For example, harder or more brittle materials may require a different radius or relief angle to ensure surface quality and avoid chipping.
Select Proper Tool Holder Size and Type
Choose a tool holder that is compatible with your machine’s clamping system. The size, shape, and rigidity of the holder will affect cutting stability and precision. A well-matched holder reduces vibration and ensures better surface finish.
2. Tool Selection Based on Material
For Non-Ferrous Metals
When machining materials such as aluminum, copper, or magnesium alloys, it is recommended to use a tool with 0° rake angle. This neutral angle provides better edge strength and stability, helping to achieve a smooth cutting process and extend tool life.
For Infrared Crystal Materials
When processing hard and brittle infrared optical materials such as ZnSe, Ge, or CaF₂, a tool with a -25° rake angle is preferred. The negative rake angle improves cutting edge strength and reduces the risk of chipping or cracking, ensuring high surface quality and dimensional accuracy.
Additional Recommendations
Always clean the tool and holder before installation to prevent misalignment or tool run-out.
Ensure the machine is operating under stable conditions with minimal vibration.
Avoid excessive cutting forces to maintain edge integrity, especially when using ultra-fine radius tips.
Use suitable coolant or air-blow systems when necessary to control temperature and remove chips.
