TELCON is ISO 9001, 2015 certified, adopting total quality management (TQM), all of TELCON’s divisions relentlessly strive to develop new methods, improve efficiency, and manufacture innovative Diamond tools.

Surface Meter per Minute (SMM), similar to Surface Feet per Minute but using metric units, indicates the speed at which the tool's cutting edge moves relative to the material's surface. Like the feed per tooth, it varies depending on the material and the type of cutter used. This data is also available online.

Feed per tooth is the amount of material removed by each tooth of the cutter during one spindle revolution. This is usually measured in millimetres per tooth or inches per tooth. The appropriate value depends on the material being cut (such as metal, plastics, or plywood) and the type of cutter used (e.g., coated or uncoated carbide). You can typically find this information online.

TELCON personnel is a highly dedicated and devoted professional team with good blend of highly experienced and young energetic personnel leading the way to TELCON’s success and future growth.

WOC stands for Width of Cut and it refers to the width of the material engaged by the cutting tool in the direction parallel to the workpiece surface. This depth is less than the tool's diameter.

TELCON is located in a modern, 4000 square meter plant, with the most advanced grinding, EDM and laser machines and state of the art quality control equipment. TELCON’s vacuum brazing equipment is the most modern, sophisticated and controlled to ensure highest repeatability and reproducibility of brazing operation. TELCON uses the highest quality PCD tools and carbide grades and world class CVD diamond coatings. In addition to diamond tools manufacturing, Telcon operating reconditioning services for diamond tools and carbide tools.

Telcon’s tools include: PCD Drills, CVD diamond drills, Carbide drills, Diamond Countersinks, Carbide tipped Countersinks, PCD End Mills and CVD diamond End Mills and Carbide End Mills, used worldwide by the aerospace industry, airframe assembly and CNC plants.

Feeds and speeds are critical parameters in machining operations. Feeds refer to the rate at which the cutting tool advances through the material, typically measured in inches or mm per minute, and are essential for balancing material removal rates with effective chip clearance. Inadequate feed rates can lead to tool breakage or chip clogging. Speeds concern the spindle RPM (revolutions per minute), influencing tool temperature and wear. Proper spindle speeds prevent the tool from overheating, which can soften and dull the cutting edge, resulting in poor surface quality or tool failure. Both feeds and speeds are vital for optimizing tool life, enhancing machining efficiency, and ensuring superior surface finishes

DOC stands for Depth of Cut and is the depth the tool penetrates the material along its axis, perpendicular to the surface being machined. It's usually determined by the cutting-edge length of the tool and how much of the tool is engaged with the material.

TELCON tools are of utmost quality and enable longer tool life and increased accuracy in complex milling and drilling operations, our tools have the ability to resharpen and reuse as well as long tool life resulting in big savings and high quality products for our customers.

TELCON is a world leading manufacturer of PCD and CVD diamond cutting tools for the machining of composite materials: CFRP and GFRP. TELCON produces a wide range of diamond Tools used by many of the world’s leaders in the field including, Airbus, Lockheed-Martin, Spirit, ATK, Embraer, Denel, ELBIT and IAI as well as many others across the composite processing fields.

The selection of the DOC and WOC must balance efficiency and the need to minimize tool wear and potential damage to the workpiece. Deep cuts in the axial and radial axis can be more efficient but might lead to higher forces on the tool and workpiece, while shallow cuts are generally less efficient but can achieve better surface finishes and extend tool life.

This video provides a clear guide on how to calculate the feeds and speeds for a tool. The linked website offers valuable resources, including feed per tooth and surface meter per minute values, based on the tool and stock material to assist in determining the appropriate feeds and speeds.

Now that you know how to calculate feeds and speeds, you can apply this knowledge by setting up your tool in Fusion 360 to proceed with the CAM operations. The next video demonstrates how to create your own tool library in Fusion 360.
