Characteristics and benefits of IDP coated tooling
Electroplated or coated tools are produced by applying Diamond or c.B.N. (cubic Boron Nitride) to a metal preform (saw blade, holesaw, grinding pin, router, grinding wheel, etc.). The matrix material is usually electro-deposited nickel. The tools have an open, free cutting action.
Our processes allow for the production of tools with a high density of exposed abrasive particles, this coupled with a uniform nickel coating allow us to produce tools to very tight tolerances.
Coated tools are well suited to many applications including cutting, drilling, grinding and lapping operations.
Coated tools can also be reconditioned by simply removing the old coating and applying a new one. This is a cost effective feature especially when the preform is expensive to produce, for example a profiled grinding wheel.
A further benefit particularly relevant to profiled wheels is that the single or double layer coating copies the preform profile. The finished grinding wheel profile is maintained throughout the life of the wheel.
We guarantee that our coating will not separate from the preform.

IDP customer advantages
We are able to assist with tool designCreate tools to your drawings and specifications
We can Diamond or c.B.N. coat preforms manufactured by you
We will recoat your existing tooling
The care and attention we apply to your project is second to none
Information shared with us is confidential, please read our privacy policy
You are assured of personalised service
We also supply Diamond or cBN tooling manufactured by other methods
There are many ways to produce Diamond and c.B.N. tools each as specialised as the other. Each process produces tools that have a particular ''ideal usage'' and coated tooling is not always the best option. On those occasions we rely on a relatively small group, of mainly Australian Diamond Tool manufacturers, each specialists in their own field of expertise.
This allows us to provide you, our customer, with the most suitable solution for your process requirements.
