How do we maximize the lifespan of Jewellery Diamond tools
- Diamond tools should be used exclusively in precision machines with good bearings. Only vibration-free working guarantees optimal results. Regular maintenance and checks should be conducted to ensure that the bearings are in good working order. Any irregularities, when identified, should be attended to immediately.
- If scratches appear on the workpiece because of fine breaks in the diamond cutting edge, the Jewellery Diamond tools must removed from the spindle holder and sharpened immediately. Continued usage can cause serious damage to the Jewellery Diamond tool. The fine breaks can develop into large cracks and eventually cause the diamond to break / chip off.
- The blunter the cutting edge, the greater the risk that the diamond will suddenly break, even if not impacted. Users should try to keep the cutting edge sharp and chip free to maintain a clean and “line free” cut on the ornaments. It is important to check your Jewellery Diamond tool after every cycle.
- The durability of diamonds also depends on the type of alloy and surface of the workpiece, the cutting speed and feed depth of the tool. Therefore, no rule can be drawn up. As a general rule, Jewellery Diamond tools can last longest when applied on gold and silver alloy as they are soft metals and easy to cut. However, Jewellery Diamond tools suffer the most damage when cutting on Platinum alloys.
- Regular sharpening of a Jewellery Diamond tools by the user will lead to the optimal utilization of the diamond tool and significantly increase the service life of the tool. We would recommend users to work out a regular shapening schedule with Gold Technic. Please feel free to approach us for a non-obligatory discussion and recommendations on your maintenance schedule.
