All Die Quip electroplated
products start with
a high tolerance,
ground tool steel
blank for accuracy
and strength. We
then select high
quality superabrasive
powder from reputable
sources and electroplate
it to the blank
with state-of-the-art
equipment. This
results in a fast
cutting, American

tool that produces
more parts at a
lower cost than
less expensive tools.

Die Quips line
of bonded tools
includes cylindrical
and conical pins
for internal grinding
along with straight
and shaped wheels

has three different
bonds for you to
choose from; RESINOID
(green) is a free
cutting bond excellent
for general purpose
grinding of carbide,
COPPER bond was
specifically engineered
for grinding carbide
and ceramic to a
mirror finish and
is a hard bond that
retains its shape
well during grinding.
CARBIDE bond is
very hard and recommended
for the grinding
of tool steels.
All of our pins
are bonded to tungsten
carbide shanks for
the greatest rigidity
while our wheels
can be provided
with an aluminum
or Bakelite core.

Polishing Tooling
|
Diamond Compound
|
|
Die Quip's line
of diamond compounds
are specially formulated
for use in the mold
and die industries.
They will withstand
severe polishing
conditions without
loss of cutting
quality. The use
of a stable carrier
assures diamond
particles stay in
suspension throughout
the cutting cycle.
The quality and
design of our carrier
is not affected
by frictional heat
generated during
polishing. This
keeps the diamond
compound in the
working area for
faster cutting speeds
and less compound
needed per cut.

Diamond Powder
|
|
Die Quip's line
of diamond powder
is expertly manufactured
by double grading
and computer micro
ionization. This
virgin synthetic,
manufactured diamond
powder quickly removes
stock while providing
an excellent finish.
We have two different
powders to meet
your specific polishing
application. They
can be used for
wire polishing of
diamond dies or
mixed with grease
to make your own
diamond compound.
We also have natural
diamond power upon
request.

Steel Angle
Lapping Pins
|
|
Die Quip's line
of steel angled
polishing pins are
made from tool steel
that is hardened
to 45/50 Rc to resist
wear while polishing
with diamond compound.
They are available
in two different
forms and many different
angles. First, is
our ground pins
that are ready to
use and are precision
ground to a tolerance
of +/- 15 minutes
of a degree. The
blank pins are rough
formed and should
not be used until
they are precision
ground. Blanks are
intended to reduce
costs for die shops
with a pin grinder
compared to grinding
them from a rod.

Wood Angle Lapping
Pins
|
|
Die Quip's line
of wood angled lapping
pins are precisely
manufactured from
highly compressed
hardwood layers
with alternating
grain direction
which is then saturated
and bonded with
resin. This provides
a material that
is easily machined
to accurate shapes,
grinds to a smoother
surface finish and
is tougher than
solid wood. These
features produce
a lapping tool that
lasts longer by
retaining their
shape and produces
better surface finishes.

Lapstock
|
|
Die Quip's line
of lapstock is used
as the lapping tool
to polish or size
wire die bearings.
It is precision
centerless ground
from music wire
and W1 tool steel
to provide an accurate
lap that holds size
for a long time.
It is provided in
2 or 3' (0.6m or
0.9m) lengths which
means one piece
can be cut into
a number of small
lengths making lapstock
a very economical
lapping material
compared to plug
gages. It is available
in increments of
.001" (0.025mm)
over the entire
size range.

Wood and Felt
Bobs
|
|
Die Quip's line
of wood and felt
bobs are precisely
manufactured from
the highest quality
materials to perform
better in high speed
hand polishing applications.
The wood bobs are
best used with light
to medium cutting
compounds for removing
light wear or polishing
bell radiuses. Felt
bobs are best suited
for mirror polishing
of dies with light
diamond compounds.
Polishing with a
high speed hand
tool with bobs is
faster than with
a wood stick, produces
a better surface
finish and significantly
reduces the stress
on the operators
hands, wrist and
forearms.

Polishing Accessories
|
|
- Our diamond lubricant is designed to reduce the polishing cycle by increasing the cutting action.
- This is achieved by keeping the diamond compound from drying out during the polishing cycle.
- Die Quip's cotton is supplied is a 1200 foot continuous roll for easy use in removing diamond compound after a working cycle.
- Rice paper is the best solution for removing diamond compound from dies smaller than .030" (0.70mm)
due to its fine thickness and high strength.
