Plan Diamond Tool:


Burnishing with diamonds and balls, which is best? This is a comprehensive build of a Ball Burnishing Tool and a Diamond Burnishing Tool for the metal lathe.I will build two roller burnishing tools and one diamond burnishing tool, then compare them and put the results under the microscope – literally!I use three lathes, The TOOLMASTER, the COLCHESTER and the SHERATON for this project. There is also extensive milling to be done.
