About DTS
Diamond Tooling Systems GmbH (DTS) manufactures cutting tools with ultra-hard cutting materials such as polycrystalline diamond (PCD), CVD thick-film diamond (CVD-D), binder-free single-crystal diamond (UltraDiamant) and cubic boron nitride (CBN). The product range comprises eight tool groups: diamond and CBN indexable inserts, boring tools and MiniTools, end mills, milling head systems, grooving systems, drills and reamers, as well as holders and boring bars. Manufacturing begins with a carbide base body into which a segment seat is ground; the diamond or CBN blank is brazed on using high-vacuum brazing technology. From the very beginning, the company has focused on laser machining of cutting edges, also for producing 3D chip breaker steps and cutting edge preparation. In addition to the stock program, special tools, a regrinding and resharpening service, and application technology support at the machine are offered. Customers come primarily from the automotive, aerospace, medical technology, mechanical engineering, toolmaking, mold making and optics industries. The company is located in Idar-Oberstein in Rhineland-Palatinate.
