Micro-Precision cDD Diamond Dressers
cDD Diamond Dressers with a unique diamond matrix and CVD inserts are now certified for micro-precision grinding applications.
Meister Abrasives broke into new territory with the introduction of diamond dressers that excelled both at truing and sharpening CBN wheels. Now these advantages are also available to manufacturers engaged in critical micro-precision grinding processes.
Because the CVD inserts are embedded into an already sharp and free-cutting diamond matrix, they can be smaller and more widely spaced than those in conventional handset diamond tools. The hybrid-bond diamond matrix does a large amount of the dressing, while the inserts provide structural support and reinforcement.
Both the inserts and the matrix self-sharpen; no conditioning is required. In addition, unlike the larger diamonds in conventional hand set tools, the smaller CVD inserts do not produce large flat areas that can dull the grinding wheel. Furthermore, due to the multi-layer structure of the matrix, the cDD tool can be re-profiled to its original shape if and when necessary.
