Diamond burnishing is a process that can be used in a wide array of applications to achieve a required surface finish and in some cases, increase hardness. With its versatility and user-friendliness, diamond burnishing has helped manufacturers across the globe eliminate costly secondary operations.
Manufactured by Elliott Tool Technologies, diamond burnishing tools are made with replaceable diamond stems for a low-cost method to produce an ultra-smooth surface finish on linear surfaces. Available in inch and metric slim-line, square, offset, on-center, and boring bar styles.
Our team has worked with thousands of different applications. If you have a question or are wondering if your application is a good fit for diamond burnishing, contact us here.
