Matching the technology to the operation solves most of that tension: electroplated tooling for the drilling, routing, and finishing work where precision and versatility carry the day; P.B.S.® Braze for the composite grinding and machining jobs where fast, durable stock removal is the priority; and flexible diamond tools for the manual and semi-automated grinding, blending, and polishing work that gets a part to its final finish. Shops that treat these as complementary technologies, rather than forcing every application through one, tend to see the biggest gains in both part quality and tool life.
