Customization product

I’ve been using this product for several months now, and it stands out as one of the best tools for customization in manufacturing. Whether you're working with metal, plastic, or composites, this tool adapts easily to different workflows and materials. Highly recommended for teams looking for precision, efficiency, and customization all in one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. What materials can DN-type PCD inserts machine?
A: Non-ferrous metals (aluminum, brass, copper, magnesium), carbon-fiber composites, high-silicon alloys, and graphite.

Q2. Can they machine hardened steels?
A: No. PCD reacts with iron at high temperatures; use PCBN inserts for hardened or ferrous steels.

Q3. What cutting speeds are recommended?
A: Typically 800–3,000 m/min for aluminum; adjust for machine rigidity and work material.

Q4. Is coolant required?
A: Not necessary. Dry machining works well; an air blast or light mist aids chip removal.

Q5. How does tool life compare with carbide inserts?
A: Generally 5–10 times longer under similar cutting conditions.

Q6. Are these inserts re-sharpenable?
A: Yes, specialized service centers can regrind or re-tip the PCD edge.

Q7. What feed rates are typical?
A: For finishing, 0.05–0.25 mm/rev; higher feeds possible for softer non-ferrous materials.

Q8. Do they require special tool holders?
A: No, they fit standard ISO DN tool holders.

Q9. How should PCD inserts be stored?
A: Keep in protective cases in a dry, vibration-free environment to avoid chipping.

Q10. Are they suitable for abrasive composites like CFRP or GFRP?
A: Yes, PCD excels in carbon- and glass-fiber composites, minimizing delamination and tool wear.

The Vajra® Chamfer Tools are part of a premium “Vajra®” series of ultra-precision cutting tools developed by JD Diamond Tool Precision Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (JD Diamond Tool) for high-accuracy machining operations. The catalogue mentions “Vajra® Chamfer tools … widely used in precision turning, milling, drilling, and nanoscale high polishing surface machining.” These tools are designed for chamfering operations — i.e., creating a bevel or angle on an edge or hole (commonly 15°, 30°, 45°, etc) to remove burrs, improve aesthetics, facilitate assembly/welding, or improve stress distribution at edges. Because they belong to the ultra-precision “Vajra®” series, these chamfer tools emphasise extremely high accuracy, advanced materials (such as monocrystalline diamond or ultra-hard tool grades), minimal tool wear, and excellent surface finish.

“Profile tools” typically refer to cutting, broaching or machining tools designed to generate a specific profile or contour (such as gear tooth profiles, spline shapes, custom forms, rack surfaces, internal/external complex shapes). Under Vajra Tools, their core business is broaching and custom tooling: “At Vajra Tools, we design and manufacture Key Way broaching tools, Internal Gears broaching tools, Internal Splines broaching tools, V-Notch broaching tools, Square broaching tools, Surface or rack broaching tools, and other custom tools.” Thus a “Vajra® Profile Tool” would likely be a custom broach or cutter designed to produce a precise profile shape on a work-piece, crafted to the customer’s drawing. In short: it’s a precision tool engineered to machine/finish a custom profile form on a component (internal/external), built with high accuracy manufacturing, capable of large-volume production, and often intended for automotive, gear, transmission or other industrial parts.
