Selection guide
Use diamond for non-ferrous, ceramic, glass, carbide, and composite workpieces.
Use CBN for hardened steels and ferrous alloys. Coated diamond can be tested for resin bond retention.
Application inquiry
Share your workpiece, bond system, equipment, target output, and current failure mode so C6EX can recommend a practical starting point.
