Diamond Burnishing
Diamond burnishing tools are the first choice when maximum surface quality is required. The polished MKD diamond tip cold-forms and smoothes the surface. This results in roughness values of less than Rz < 1.0 μm during diamond burnishing – even on hard or thin-walled components up to 65 HRC. The actual surface quality that can be achieved depends largely on the pre-ground surface and the material used.
Reliable, flexible, durable
- Point contact ensures minimal wear
- Eight-fold position change of the tip for long service life
- Spring stroke and axis guidance systems ensure a stable, reproducible burnishing process
- Can be perfectly integrated into existing turning processes – no additional machining step necessary
Diamond burnishing often replaces complex processes such as honing, lapping, or grinding and enables cost-effective precision machining with a quick return on investment.
Tool series 510
- Entry-level model in the diamond burnishing range
- Fixed tool head (35° or 45°)
- Ideal for cylindrical surfaces and chamfers
- Can also be used in confined spaces

Tool series 520
- Variably adjustable tool head
- Swivel range ±90°
- For cylindrical surfaces and chamfers, as well as for flat, conical, convex, and concave geometries
- Application up to the collar

Both diamond burnishing series achieve a cutting speed of between 130 and 150 m/min. Feed rates depend on the desired Rz value. These are usually between 0.02 and 0.1 mm/rev.
