V-tec is a unique technology that utilizes a special ultra-high pressure and high temperature process that allows polycrystalline diamond (PCD) to be directly sintered into veins that form complex geometric shapes. While PCD is typically only available in flat segments.

A System Solution

MegaDiamond's V-tec PCD helical end mills are combined with a specially engineered precision tool holding system. The end mill is integrated into a unique adapter with a gripping force 2-4 times that of collet chucks. The surfaces of the adapter and master holder are precision ground for exceptional stability, accuracy and performance.

• Broader Application Range
  • Possible to machine highly abrasive advanced materials where conventional end mills fail
• Lower Costs
  • Improved tool life, typically 50-500 times longer than carbide end mills
  • End mills can be reconditioned to extended life
  • Lower machine set up costs
  • Reduced inventory quantities
• Improved Productivity
  • High material removal rates
  • Reduced machine idle time
  • Reduced number of machine offsets (improved program repeatability)
• Improved Workspace Quality
  • Superior cutting edges sharpness and retention result in improved surface finish
  • Helical geometry results in lower tool forces and better chip evacuation
  • Better thermal conductivity and lower coefficient of friction results in less heat build up and adhesion
