Diacut

What Diacut does

Diacut Inc. is a privately held, family-founded manufacturer of custom precision diamond and CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride) superabrasive grinding wheels and blades, headquartered in Palmer Lake, Colorado. Founded in 1982 by the Furrer family, the company operates from a single US manufacturing facility with 11-50 employees and produces two core product lines: resin-bond wheels (formulated for fast, cool cutting and self-sharpening performance on hard and brittle materials) and metal-bond wheels (sintered for extended wheel life and form retention in heavy stock removal). Supporting products include the DIA-TRUpin on-machine truing tool and a High Production Wheels line for demanding manufacturing environments.

The company's product portfolio is custom-engineered to customer specifications across diamond type, bond, grit size, concentration, dimensions, and tolerance, with thicknesses ranging from .004 to .250 inches and tolerances as tight as +/-.0001 inches. Diacut serves seven industrial verticals including technical ceramics, aerospace, photonics, tool & die, automotive, medical/healthcare, and electronics, with applications spanning slot grinding, grooving, cut-off, slicing, and dicing of materials such as alumina, carbide, ceramics, glass, quartz, sapphire, and hardened ferrous alloys.

Diacut operates a hybrid go-to-market model combining direct factory sales (via phone, email, and a Request a Quote form) with a global network of 26+ authorized distributors across 17 countries in the Americas, Europe, and Asia/Middle East. Pricing is entirely quote-based with no published list pricing, and Diacut reports no quantity minimums, fast prototype turnaround, and full traceability via tracking numbers on every product. The company maintains compliance with ANSI B7.1 and OSHA 1910.215 safety standards for surface grinding wheels and actively participates in international trade shows including Ceramitec and GrindingHub.
