In the 1950’s, Bomas helped shape the ceramics machining industry.

Today, we are the shape of things to come!

Bomas is credited with being pioneers in the use of Diamond Tooling; and innovators of Conformal Grinding and Machining. Today, our skills, processing decisions, and tooling methods continue to prove unequaled as we master the test of time.

Diamond Core Drilling, Centerless Grinding, Diamond Grinding of tiny precision machined compression specimen from a alumina ceramic billet

Diamond Core Drilling, Centerless Grinding, Diamond Grinding

Tiny precision machined compression specimen from this alumina ceramic billet in both vertical and horizontal orientation illustrates a process that includes a variety of Bomas skills including diamond core drilling an oversized rod, centerless grinding to major diameter, diamond grinding to finish gauge diameter and gauge length, and diamond slicing – final dogbone is less than 15mm long with extreme care given to parallelism and perpendicularity to finished length dimension – general tolerances are +0/-0.001″
