COGSDILL DIAMOND HARD BURNISHING TOOL

Cogsdill Diamond Burnishing Tools are designed to produce mirror-like surface finishes by improving surface roughness in seconds. Suitable for shafts, bores, and flat faces, they enhance surface quality without removing material.

Key Features:

  • Produces mirror-like finishes up to 0.10–0.20 µm (4–8 µin)
  • Suitable for shafts, bores, and flat surfaces
  • Compatible with manual, CNC, and Swiss-type lathes
  • Features a replaceable polished diamond insert
  • Adjustable burnishing pressure for optimal results
  • Works on carbon steel, tool steel, cast iron, alloys, and most ferrous & non-ferrous metals
  • Improves surface finish, wear resistance, and component life without material removal

The Cogsdill Diamond Burnishing Tools are designed to produce high quality, low micro-inch burnished finishes on shafts, large bores, and faces. With most metals, a turned or ground part with a properly prepared 1.02 to 1.54 µm (40 to 60 µin) finish can be burnished to a 0.10 to 0.20 µm (4 to 8 µin) finish in seconds. Cast iron can usually be burnished to an 0.20 to 0.38 µm (8 to 15 µin) finish.

  • Multiple designs for use on most turning and Swiss-type machines – manual or CNC
  • All tools have include a premium quality, replaceable and polished diamond insert
  • Easily adjustable for optimum burnishing pressure

Simple and efficient, Cogsdill Diamond Burnishing Tools are designed to produce mirror-like finishes on any size stock; from carbon steels to tool steels, cast iron to alloys, and most ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

How Diamond Burnishing tools work:

  1. The Cogsdill Diamond Burnishing tool is mounted in the tool post or turret of the desired machine.
  2. The diamond burnishing point is brought into contact with the workpiece at the centerline of the part and perpendicular to the surface being finished.
  3. The tool is then fed into the workpiece an additional .002 or .003 inch (.05 or .08mm) to allow the diamond insert to become disengaged from the stop in the holder.
  4. The spring, with its preload, forces the diamond against the workpiece.
  5. The tool is then fed along the surface of the rotating workpiece to produce a mirror-like finish.

Easily Adjustable

  • Diamond Burnishing Tools are adjustable for optimum burnishing pressure.
  • For the DB-1 and DB-2 models, the adjustment screw is located in the end of the tool.
  • For models DB-3 and DB-4, the adjustment screw is located on the side of the tool.

The premium quality and replaceable diamond burnishing insert is polished and contoured to provide superior finishes and long tool life.
