DF1000 CVD-Diamond-Coated Tungsten Carbide End Mills, Routers and Drills

Source: Norton Diamond Film
End mills, routers and drills enhanced with Norton DF1000 CVD diamond stand up to the toughest materials, enabling increased productivity and reduced costs
Norton Diamond Film Performance, Reduced Cost
The combination of a CVD diamond coating over a tungsten carbide tool body, results in rotary tools unmatched for toughness, wearability and machining performance.
Norton Diamond Film coating processes have been specially designed to produce wear-resistant diamond coatings along the entire flute length of rotary tools. This coating uniformity combined with DF1000's performance properties yields a tool proven to last up to 50 times longer than uncoated tungsten carbide – an advantage that pays off in reduced costs for tool replacement and less downtime for tool changes.

DF1000's edge sharpness, surface roughness and wear resistance also contribute to improved control over finished part quality.

CVD Diamond Resists Chemical Wear
Norton CVD diamond is chemically stable and does not wear when exposed to acid by-products common to phenolic resin and other acid generating polymers. DF1000's edge sharpness, surface roughness and wear resistance also contribute to improved control over finished part quality. This chemical stability increases the potential for dry machining by reducing or eliminating the need for coolants. CVD diamond's resistance to chemical wear also contributes to increased productivity and reduced costs through extended tool life.
