High performance aircraft, racing cars, boats and other applications that demand light weight combined with high strength are turning to carbon fiber composite materials for structural components. Carbon fiber presents machining challenges that are answered perfectly by high performance diamond tools.
sp3 has developed tools designed specifically for machining composites. Different coating processes, geometries, and edge preparation than those for machining other materials are required for success. The tables below list our standard, stocked offering. We also produce special tools for these applications. All sp3 tools for composites use our exclusive edge prep and drill point geometry to minimize uncut fibers.
To select the optimum tool coating type for your application refer to the MAC Overview.
