K&Y Diamond Ltd. Manufacturer of Ultra Precision Diamond, PCD/CBN tools.

[K&Y]

Due to the ever competitive aspect of the market, companies are always looking for ways to keep costs down, all the while getting the best product for their dollar. At K&Y Diamond, we are able to give our customers the best of both worlds. We can reduce your costs significantly, and at the same time, give you the best tooling available.

We can supply you with a catalog (.pdf file) and a Capabilities pamphlet (.pdf) outlining what we can do for you (PCD, CBN and CVD). Please, also keep in mind that we've been manufacturing Ultra Precision Diamond ( Monocrystalline and Natural Diamond ) tooling for 32 years.

1. As a manufacturer of specialized tooling, we are able to accommodate almost any configuration to suit your needs.

2. Our pricing is very aggressive. Put us to the test and see for yourself.

We supply tooling to the following industries:

* Aerospace
* Automotive
* Infrared, Thermal, and Nightvision Systems
* Jewelry
* Military (defense related equipment)
* Medical
* Mold making (Tool & Die)
* Lasers (diamond-turned mirrors)
* Optoelectronic
* Optics
* Opthalmologic (contact lenses, IOL lens )
* Punch & Die
* Composites (fiberglass, carbon fiber, plastics, urethanes)

......among others.


Just a quick chart to show you the advantages of using PCD and PCBN instead of Carbide:


PCD Information:

ARE YOU MACHINING:
- Non-Ferrous Metals?
- Abrasive Non-Ferrous Alloys?
- Plastics?
- Reinforced Plastics?
- Carbon?
- Carbonfibre?
- Sintered Tungsten Carbide?

DO YOU NEED:
- To Improve Productivity?
- To Reduce PER piece Tooling Costs?
- An excellent surface finish on machine parts?
- Dimensional stability over long cuts?
- Long life on cutting edge & longer In-Tolerance Machining?
- To reduce machine downtime due to tooling indexing?

​

You should consider using Polycrystalline Diamond Tools. Many production engineers, faced with solving some or all of the above problems, have already discovered that PCD tools are the most effective available. PCD tools will increase productivity because they allow higher speeds and feed rates. They decrease downtime since they last more than 300% longer than carbide and at the same time achieve a superior finish.​

PCBN Information:

ARE YOU MACHINING:
- Ferrous Metals over 45 RC?
- Abrasive Ferrous Metals - Sintered iron, some cast iron?
- High strength, high temperature or super alloys?
- Thin, low mass, hardened steels?

DO YOU NEED:
- To Improve Productivity?
- To Reduce PER piece tooling costs?
- An excellent surface finish on machined parts?
- Dimensional stability over long cuts?
- Long life on cutting edge - longer in tolerance machining?
- Reduced Metallurgical damage during machining to give component life?

​

You should consider using Polycrystalline Cubic Boron Nitride tooling. Used correctly these tools will solve all of the above problems thereby expanding your capability, capacity and market.
Many production engineers, faced with holding production costs and improving product quality while, at the same time, machining new materials that are difficult to cut, have already recognized that PCBN tools are the most effective available.

Attached below, you will find the K&Y Diamond Ltd. company brochure, which outlines briefly what our capabilities are. We are sure that we can reduce your cutting tool costs if you are still machining non-ferrous materials (aluminum, copper, plastics, acrylic, composites, etc.) as well as hardened steel or cast iron with carbide inserts. The amount of money that shops throw away on carbide inserts is astounding, given the fact that they can gain better tool-life performance and better finish on their parts when using PCD or PCBN in the place of carbide.
