Recently, a long-standing client of Shanghai ANTISHICNC reached out to us again. Several years ago, they purchased a TG580 5-axis CNC tool grinder from us for processing carbide cutting tools. As the client manufactures tools from a variety of materials, the rising demand for ultra-hard cutting tools—such as those made of PCD, MCD, and CBN—meant that their existing TG580 grinding-wheel-based CNC tool grinder could no longer meet their evolving needs. Consequently, they contacted us to purchase a laser CNC tool grinder specifically designed for processing these ultra-hard materials.
Based on an analysis of the customer’s machining drawings, the primary machining diameters are under 160mm (and less than 200mm), and the material is ultra-hard PCD (polycrystalline diamond)—primarily for milling cutters. We recommended our TG160 CNC laser tool grinding machine, which fully meets the customer’s processing requirements.

The TG160 CNC laser tool grinder is primarily designed for the manufacturing and regrinding of cutting tools made from ultra-hard materials—such as PCD, MCD, CBN, and ceramics—as well as brazed turning tools and milling cutters.
It offers the following advantages:
- High processing efficiency: Laser processing speeds are more than five times faster than traditional grinding wheel methods. Complex 3D cutting edges, chip breakers, and negative chamfers can be completed in a single setup, eliminating the need for frequent wheel changes or dressing.
- Exceptional precision: Surfaces appear smooth and free of serrations when viewed under 200x magnification.
- No tool deformation: Laser processing is a non-contact method, meaning there is no grinding pressure.
