Edge hones for cutting tools provide a balance of strength and sharpness. A larger hone radius strengthens an edge but also somewhat blunts it. A tool's application determines the appropriate hone size. For example, roughing typically requires a larger hone than finishing. The correct hone helps maximize productivity and tool life. Mastertech Diamond Products Co., Mentor, Ohio, manufactures PCD, CVD diamond and PCBN cutting tools. In addition to providing a comprehensive selection of standard inserts, the company designs and builds special inserts and rotary tools.
