Over the past five years diamond tooling in the woodworking industry has become very popular due to the long edge life and lower down times , especially on high tech machinery that is available from leading machinery manufacturers.

Cnc routers , beam saws , double end tenoners , post forming lines are machines where diamond tools have successfully been used on.

In the past Leuco was forced to send their diamond tools to Germany for sharpening and repairs but since June 2007 Leuco has invested in machinery to sharpen and repair diamond tools in South Africa.

In April two employees spent one month at Leuco in Germany receiving technical and practical training on the brand new erosion machine which arrived in May 2007.
The new machinery to sharpen, repair and manufacture diamond tipped tools have been set up at Leuco’s high tech manufacturing centre in Cape Town.

In addition, Leuco will also be able to offer an exclusive TOPLINE finish on diamond tools sent in for sharpening. The TOPLINE finish will increase edge life making the tool last longer before sharpening.
