Precision Diamond & CBN Tooling Manufactured in the USA

Braemar USA is a leading manufacturer of high-performance diamond and CBN (cubic boron nitride) tooling in Tempe, Arizona. With more than 40 years of super abrasive manufacturing experience, we produce precision tooling for grinding, drilling, cutting, shaping, slotting, dressing, and polishing applications.

Manufacturers throughout the aerospace, medical, semiconductor, optical, electronics, energy, defense, and advanced-material industries rely on our products. In addition to standard tooling, we develop custom solutions for specialized materials, equipment, and production requirements.

Comprehensive Super abrasive Tooling Solutions

Our extensive product line provides dependable solutions for a wide variety of precision manufacturing operations. Available products include:

• Resin-bond diamond and CBN grinding wheels
• Metal-bond diamond tooling
• Electroplated diamond and CBN wheels
• Diamond core drills
• Diamond cutting and slotting wheels
• Optical grinding and polishing tools
• Diamond dressing tools
• Diamond bandsaw blades
• Diamond lapping compounds
• Custom-engineered super abrasive tooling

Because every application presents different challenges, our tooling is available in a wide range of sizes, shapes, grit specifications, concentrations, and bond systems. As a result, customers can select tooling that closely matches their material, machine, and performance requirements.

Tooling for Difficult-to-Machine Materials

Braemar USA tooling is engineered to process demanding materials that conventional abrasives may struggle to machine efficiently. These materials include:

• Tungsten carbide
• Technical ceramics
• Sapphire
• Quartz and fused silica
• Silicon carbide
• Hardened steels
• Titanium
• Composites
• Optical glass
• Advanced engineered materials

Diamond tooling is generally recommended for carbide, ceramics, glass, quartz, sapphire, and other hard, nonferrous materials. CBN tooling, on the other hand, is commonly used for hardened steels, high-speed steel, super alloys, and other ferrous materials.

By matching the correct abrasive, grit size, bond, and tool geometry to the application, manufacturers can achieve better cutting performance and more consistent results.

Custom Diamond and CBN Tooling

Standard tooling does not always provide the performance required for complex manufacturing operations. Therefore, Braemar USA offers custom-engineered diamond and CBN tooling for specialized applications.

Our team works closely with each customer to understand the equipment, workpiece material, operating parameters, part geometry, surface-finish requirements, and production objectives. Based on this information, we develop tooling designed specifically for the application.

Furthermore, our fast and dependable turnaround times help customers reduce production delays. Custom tooling can be manufactured for new applications, process improvements, replacement tools, or difficult operations where standard products have not delivered acceptable results.

Experienced Application Engineering Support

Selecting the correct tool involves more than choosing a wheel shape or abrasive type. For that reason, our experienced application engineers provide technical assistance throughout the tooling selection and development process.

Support is available for:

• Tool and wheel design
• Diamond or CBN selection
• Grit-size recommendations
• Bond selection
• Coolant considerations
• Speed and feed recommendations
• Process optimization
• Troubleshooting
• Tool-life improvement

In addition, our team can evaluate problems such as excessive chipping, poor surface finish, dimensional variation, premature tool wear, loading, glazing, and insufficient material-removal rates.

Improve Manufacturing Performance

Every Braemar USA tooling solution is developed to improve performance and process reliability. When the proper tool is selected and applied correctly, manufacturers can:

• Increase productivity
• Improve surface-finish quality
• Maintain dimensional accuracy
• Reduce chipping and edge damage
• Minimize premature tool wear
• Extend overall tool life
• Reduce downtime
• Improve manufacturing efficiency

Whether you need a standard grinding wheel or a completely custom-designed tool, Braemar USA can help identify the right solution. Consequently, customers receive tooling developed around their specific production challenges and performance goals.
