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.
