How are diamond bits manufactured?

To manufacture these bits, the manufacturer uses a pressure of up to 1.5 GPa and a temperature of about 1250 degrees (Celsius). The composition of these bits consists of real diamond powder that is pressed onto steel using this very high pressure. Diamond, being the hardest substance, retains its strong cutting power after machining and the bits are available in different sizes. The smaller size contact us for people who make jewelry, watches and other fine jewelry that we often see and other accessories. The larger ones are used for more rigorous drilling activities.

How are diamond drill bits different from other drill bits?

The first thing to note is that no other drilling tool matches the sturdiness of a diamond drill bit. As mentioned earlier, diamonds are the hardest natural substance on earth. And it is capable of drilling to almost any surface with great precision and perfection.

In addition to this, diamond bits are quieter and lighter than other drilling tools and are available in different diameter sizes to suit different applications.

Diamond bits are completely independent of the actual drill bit; therefore, the power source will vary, depending only on the needs of the material to be drilled and its surroundings.

They also have no impact on the environment when drilling and are very flexible and versatile.

 

How to use diamond drill bits?

Diamond drill bits have different uses depending on their type, but they are still used according to the same principles.

The material you are drilling mainly affects the way you drill. You can't drill a hole in a gemstone the same way you can drill a hole in a piece of glass.

Improper use of the drill can lead to damage, material breakage and overheating. That's why it's crucial to know the proper way to use this power tool.

To properly use a diamond drill, you must know the right amount of lubrication, drilling pressure and drilling speed for the material you are using. Knowing this will allow the drill to work properly and eliminate any possibility of overheating due to friction caused by the hard material you are working with. A diamond drill bit in use should not overheat. It may be hot, but getting hot indicates that the drill is heating up and this must be avoided at all costs.

When drilling very hard materials, it is safer to reduce the drilling pressure and let the tool drill at its own speed. Increasing the drill pressure to finish quickly increases friction and causes extreme heat, which can lead to surface breakage.

As for drilling speed, it is impossible to know the exact speed for most materials; therefore, it is always better to choose a medium drilling speed. Drilling too fast will result in increased drilling pressure, which can lead to overheating, as previously mentioned.

Lubrication (water or coolant) is very important when drilling, as it is fitted to the drill tip. It helps to reduce the heat generated during the drilling process, thus avoiding thermal breakage and breakage of the material.

A good lubricant is very important because it helps to extend the life of the drill bit. Reduced pressure, moderate speed and adequate lubrication can increase the life of a diamond drill bit by a factor of 10.
