Electroplated diamond or Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) tools are made of a single layer or multi-layers (depending on application) of either diamond or CBN particle that are attached to the tool surface using a nickel matrix.

This process allows for the easy manufacture of tools with different and complex forms and contours. Electroplated superabrasive tools provide high exposure and concentration of diamond / CBN particles, which make faster cutting than diamond / CBN tools made by other processes. This provides high efficiency grinding on steels, FRP, ceramics, and composite materials.
