Crystallume Thunderbolt – Ultra Thin Nano Diamond Tools
Real Crystalline Diamond Coating – The Thickness of PVD!
The new ThunderBolt Ultra Thin Nano Diamond Tools have a real crystalline diamond coating that is the thickness of most PVD coatings. You can now use real diamond where once you thought you could only afford the imitations. The performance of real diamond, along with the edge sharpness of a thin coating, give unheard of performance in the finishing of graphite. It is also the perfect tool for those short run jobs.
These tools are available in our most popular series of Extended Shank End Mills. Call General Cutting Tools, your Crystallume supplier to experience a ThunderBolt tool in your shop today.

Crystallume Black Widow Diamond Tools
Cutting Tools Chicago aka General Cutting Tools is proud to introduce Crystallume’s Black Widow line of cutting tools for high performance machining of aluminum and other nonferrous material. These specially designed tools have been optimized to be coated with the Black Widow HCC-C-100 coating. HCC-C-100 is a coating containing a mixture of diamond and graphite. Diamond is the hardest material known to man, while Graphite is much softer.
These two materials are mixed together on the nanomolecular scale and therefore form a type of nano-phase amorphous material that offers high hardness and very low friction. This decreases built up edge (BUE) and extends tool life 2-3 times that of an uncoated tool.
