Diamond Burnishing

Precision Metal Finishing Tools

An economical and user-friendly tool for producing a mirror-like surface finish

Diamond burnishing tools are designed for linear applications and used in lathes and similar machines.

These tools feature replaceable diamond stems in two different styles, making it a cost efficient method to produce an ultra-smooth surface finish on linear surfaces (IDs, ODs, and face surfaces).

Burnishing
  • Part Preparations: 100-120 RMS

  • Feed Rate: 0.003”/0.004”

  • Speed: 250 – 500 SFM (750 Max)

  • Coolant Required: Water Soluble Or Oil

  • Low Microinch Finish

  • Work Hardening

  • Easy To Use

  • Proven Quality

  • Lowers Cost

  • Improves Processes

How the Diamond Burnishing Tool Works

As the part is turned, the diamond, under spring pressure, is fed across at a feed rate of 0.003″ to 0.004″ per revolution at a maximum of 750 SFM.

Low Micron Finish

• Produces a 4 to 8 Ra surface finish in one pass.
• Improves surface irregularities and tool marks.

Work Hardening

• Increases the surface hardness through the cold working process and compressive forces.
• Increases metal’s density and resistance to fatigue and failure at stress points.

Versatility

• Effective for various part configurations.
• Suitable for a variety of metals – all ductile metals can be burnished.

Styles to Meet Your Application Needs

Boring-Bar Style (S2295-00)

The boring-bar style is designed for lathes or turning centers to provide an improved surface finish in bores from 0.500” to 1.375” diameter x 2.800” deep. This tool can be used on most metals with a hardness below Rc40.

Stick Style (S2300-00)

The stick design makes the tool ideal for smaller lathes and allows for close approaches. The offset design sets the tool on correct centerline.
