Laser cutting and sawing

The original cutting and sawing tool from Sarine, the Quazer-3 can cut the diamond substrate to different pieces, make thin slices and remove the as-grown material from the seed.

Mechanical and chemical-mechanical polishing

For mechanical polishing we use a 3000 RPM skive from Dialit and Coborn. The chemical-mechanical polishing tool came all the way from distant Scotland.
