NATURAL DIAMOND
Our complete diamond solutions include premium, regular, gauge stones, grit, rotary, longs, natural drills, toolstones, carbonados and micron.
PREMIUM
The best shapes and the lightest colours are selected from original mined diamond to be the starting material for our Premium product. Mechanically and chemically processed to improve the initial shape and remove weak stones, the resultant product exhibits the characteristics of strength and uniformity. The regular shape of P quality guarantees an even wear pattern on the stones and thus ensures uniform penetration and maximum life.
Sizes Available
P quality is available in sizes 1 – 100spc
REGULAR
Dark colours and round shapes are selected from original mined diamond as the starting material for our Regular quality. Subjected to a mechanical process designed to enhance the shape and remove weak stones, the resultant material is thus free of seriously flawed particles.
Sizes Available
R quality is available in sizes 1 – 100spc
GAUGE STONES
Blocky angular Boart provides the base for this gauge material. This material is mechanically treated in-house to remove brittle stones and thus increase the overall strength. This product was designed for use as a gauge keeper in a variety of bit types and sizes. In maintaining the gauge size the inherent characteristics of shape and toughness are utilised to greatest advantage.
Sizes Available
Gauge quality is available in sizes 1 – 100spc
GRIT
Our Natural Grit is made by selecting the best qualities and shapes from our in-house crushing of Natural Boart. We supply Grit with sharp irregular cutting edges for those applications that require high-speed cutting. We also offer a Processed Grit that has been mechanically processed to enhance strength and uniformity. We provide a slight rounding (5-15%) to improve the impact strength and a more severe tumbling (15-30%) for those applications that require a strict uniform surface shape. For applications that require superior surface cleanliness we have developed in-house chemical processes that remove all surface contaminations.
Sizes Available
Size availability: 16/18 US Mesh to 400/500 US Mesh
ROTARY
The best-quality natural diamonds are shape-selected, mechanically rounded and chemically polished using our in-house propriety processes to produce a Rotary material with a controlled radius and uniform shape. They are suitable for electroplated and infiltrated bond systems that utilise hand-set diamonds.
Sizes Available
Sizes range in stones per carat from 100spc to 250spc.
LONGS
Suitable long shapes are selected from mined Boart as the base material for processed longs. Stressed both mechanically and chemically, the resultant product exhibits the characteristics of strength and uniformity of shape.
Note: We can provide Natural Unprocessed Longs on request
Sizes Available
Sizes range in stones per carat from 5spc to 60spc.
NATURAL DRILLS
The best-quality natural Brown Drill diamonds are carefully selected to eliminate significantly flawed stones. The characteristics of dodecahedral and full round shape combine to form a high-quality material designed for drilling the most demanding formations.
Sizes Available
Sizes range in stones per carat from 10spc to 40spc.
TOOLSTONES
We have developed a range of products to cover a broad spectrum of uses to match the varied demands of today’s Toolstone business. From single point Toolstones for diamond dressers to more complex designs we have qualities to match all settings. Individually selected on the basis of quality, internal geometry and shape, our classifications encompass a variety of specialised types.
Sizes Available
Sizes range in stones per carat from 1spc to 10spc.
DODECAHEDRONS
Twelve sided dodecahedron stones available for use in the diamond tool industry. Selections based on price/requirements available on request.
Sizes Available
Standard size range available
MACLES
Triangular shaped macle diamond for use in chisel type tools is available in a range of sizes. Please get in touch and let us know your requirements
Sizes Available
Sizes range from 1 per carat to 25 per carat
CARBONADOS
Carbonados are a naturally occurring diamond material which consists of an aggregate of diamond micro crystals, graphite and amorphous carbon. Their unusual polycrystalline structure and composition give them superior toughness when compared with other diamond materials. This is due to the lack of cleavage planes which produce weaknesses in other forms of natural diamond. The best quality Natural Carbonados (also known as black diamond) are selected and then laser cut to ensure a uniform blocky shape
It is there high toughness which leads to their use in demanding applications such as oilfield drilling.
Sizes Available
Sizes range from 10 C.P.S. to 15 S.P.C.
MICRON
Natural Micron powder is processed into sizes through specialised crushing and milling techniques that produce sharp-edge, fast-cutting particles. All micron diamond sizes are tightly controlled and a P.S.D chart displaying the size distribution accompanies all material.
Sizes Available
Sizes range from 0 – ¼ microns to 50/70 microns.
