Diamond and cBN Tool Manufacture
Our superabrasive powder and mesh products are globally valued by a variety of companies manufacturing diamond and cBN tools for industrial and medical end-use. This includes mesh size diamond for wire saws, industrial broaching/honing tools and high-speed dental burrs, and diamond and cBN powders for various bonded superabrasive grinding wheels. We also provide copper or nickel-coated diamond and cBN powders for electroplated superabrasive cutting blades/grinding discs and for vitrified, phenolic, and polyimide-bonded superabrasive grinding wheel manufacture.
Mesh Size Diamond for Wire Saws and Other Applications
A large part of our diamond and cBN tool manufacturing processes is our mesh-size diamond powder. This includes various diamond and cubic boron nitride superabrasives that range from mesh size down to micron size. This is particularly effective for wire saws. Our mesh-size diamonds are available in a wide range of sizes and specifications, providing unmatched versatility for diverse wire saws. They exhibit exceptional surface finish quality and are composed of a uniform particle size distribution, which results in superior cutting effectiveness and performance.
We also offer specialized superabrasive powder products for industrial broaching and honing tools. When it comes to broaching and honing, our cBN grits deliver superior performance when compared to other materials. They are highly durable and offer excellent resistance to wear and tear, making them ideal for heavy workloads.
For the dental industry, our high-speed dental burrs are made with the same precision and quality as our other superabrasive products. Our burrs offer a wide range of shapes and sizes, making them ideal for various dental procedures, including restorations, surgeries, and cosmetics. Our diamond mesh offerings for dental burrs are innovative, high-performance products that are guaranteed to increase your drilling precision and accuracy.
Diamond and cBN Powders for Grinding Wheels
Diamond and cBN powders are made by synthesizing diamonds and cubic boron nitride particles, respectively, under high temperatures and pressures. This results in powders that exhibit unparalleled hardness, toughness, and chemical resistance—qualities that make them ideal for use in abrasive applications such as grinding, cutting, and polishing.
Diamond powders offered by Advanced Abrasives Corporation are available in a wide range of sizes and shapes, making them suitable for various grinding wheel bonding methods. These powders exhibit exceptional wear resistance, making them ideal for high-speed cutting and polishing of cemented carbide, ceramics, and other hard-to-machine materials.
Our cBN powders are also highly versatile and are perfect for grinding hard ferrous materials such as steel, nickel, and titanium alloys. Cubic boron nitride is harder than diamond, making it not only suitable but superior for grinding high-speed steels, which are typically challenging using diamond abrasives alone.
5 Benefits of Diamond Grinding Wheels
In material manipulation, grinding wheels emerge as pivotal instruments, orchestrating transformations across diverse industrial landscapes. These precision tools form the cornerstone of countless manufacturing odysseys, allowing you to touch the zenith of accuracy and operational fluidity.
1. Pinnacle of Precision
Diamond grinding wheels reign supreme in the domain of precision grinding. Their inherent attributes facilitate material exodus with unparalleled accuracy, rendering them indispensable for endeavors demanding stringent tolerances. We’ve witnessed the alchemical transformation of planar expanses into reflective perfection, a critical change in optical and semiconductor.
2. Tool Resiliency
The durability of diamond wheels is unmatched. Unlike conventional abrasives such as aluminum oxide or silicon carbide, diamond abrasives maintain their cutting edge for significantly longer periods. This translates to fewer wheel changes and reduced downtime, boosting overall productivity in your operations.
3. Material Versatility
Diamond wheels exhibit prowess when engaging with obdurate, fragile substrates. They demonstrate particular efficacy in the abrasion of carbides, ceramics, and even fellow superhard entities like polycrystalline diamond (PCD). Their adaptability spans both aqueous and anhydrous grinding methodologies, acclimatizing to varied manufacturing milieus.
4. Thermal Equilibrium Mastery
The thermal conductivity of diamond revolutionizes grinding dynamics. It facilitates the efficient dissipation of thermal energy generated during the abrasive operations, mitigating the risk of thermal trauma to workpieces. This is important in fine grinding scenarios where preserving the metallurgical integrity of the substrate is imperative.
5. Long-Term Fiscal Prudence
While the initial capital outlay for diamond grinding wheels may surpass that of conventional abrasives, their longevity and performance yield fiscal dividends over time. The reduced frequency of wheel rejuvenation, coupled with enhanced product quality and diminished material wastage, often culminates in substantial economic benefits for entities committed to precision manufacturing.

Get the Best cBN Grit for Sharpening Turning Tools
When it comes to sharpening turning tools, particularly those used on hardened steel, cubic boron nitride (cBN) is the abrasive of choice. The optimal grit size for this application typically falls in the range of 150 to 180 grit. This grit size strikes an ideal balance between material removal rate and surface finish quality, allowing for efficient resharpening while maintaining the critical edge geometry of turning tools.
At Advanced Abrasives, we specialize in providing the perfect cBN grinding wheels for your specific needs. Our expertise in superabrasive and conventional abrasive technologies allows us to recommend the most suitable products for your applications. We offer a wide range of cBN abrasives, including various bond types such as resin bond and vitrified bond, each optimized for different grinding scenarios.
