What is the difference between plated, brazed, and sintered diamond tools?
Plated and brazed tools are alsmost the same and utilize the same process for applying diamonds to the outside of a metal surface using a bonding agent (usually nickel). Sintered diamond tools are tools that have diamond integrated into the metal of the diamond tool. As you use the tool you can remove some of the metal and expose more diamond as you use it. They are longer lasting than plated tools and also more expensive. Usually used with core drills and diamond saw blades.
