Turning Shank

Custom Tools from Contour Fine Tooling

If one of our “standard” off the shelf tool designs will not do what you need then allow a Contour Engineer to design a custom tool for you free of charge.

Contour offers free design service to ensure you get the proper tool to fit your machine and application before you make the purchase.

These tool designs can be incorporated on to:

• A solid shank design with perhaps an offset to do an edging or back chamfer operation
• Or perhaps something on a round shank it better for you.

Maybe you need a tool to do a

• boring operation
• or special milling tool
• or trepan
• or facing
• or counter-bore
• or …

The choice is yours!

And most important don’t forget the diamond type:

• Polycrystalline CVD (Chemical Vapour Disposition) tipped tool
• Monocrystalline HPHT (High Pressure, High Temperature) synthetic (Dodec 110 Orientation)
• Monochrystalline CVD (Chemical Vapour Disposition) synthetic (Dodec 110 Orientation)
• Mono-Die synthetic (Dodec 110 Orientation)
• Monocrystalline Natural (Dodec 110 Orientation)
• Monocrystalline Sumitomo synthetic (Cubic 100 Orientation)

These all are available from Contour Fine Tooling and each with their own unique advantages. Contact a Contour tooling expert to get you started on the right foot!
