Anthony,
I got a quick question for you. I read an article in IDR (Industial
Diamond Review)a couple of years ago, where DeBeers did some test
cutting in Titanium using PCD tooling. The economics looked pretty
good. Have you had a chance to try them in Titanium? My Kennametal rep
was going to get an insert for me, it was the same tool used in the
study, but it wasn't available yet. I'd forgotten about it until now.
I'd like to hear from anyone cutting Ti with diamond tools.

Not cut any Ti with them....I'm wondering though, DeBeers brought out a
90 micron crystal size diamond for a while, a couple of years ago,
mostly for testing. The results of our tests looked very good, but they
claimed the demand wasn't there for them to produce it. I wonder if this
is the same thing you are talking about.

You can't 'idiot proof' anything....every time you try, they just make
better idiots.
