• A very balanced tool
  
• Higher accuracy
  
• Longer tool life (10-15,000 lenses)
  
• Better surface finish

Benefits:

• Much longer tool life (at least 150 times longer)
  
• Superior surface finish
  
• Dramatic reduction of machine downtime in replacing conventional cutters

Milling haptics of solid and foldable intra-ocular lenses is an integral part of the finished product. A new manufacturing method has been developed using Single Crystal Diamond Milling tools that makes them more precise and reliable than the traditional tungsten carbide milling cutters.

Used on PMMA and foldable materials, fixed with wax, vacuum or ice, the Contour diamond is glued in the symmetrical shank, which prevents imbalance in the shank. Size of the cutting radius is guaranteed within a tolerance of ±0.01mm and the parallelism of the cutting edge to the shank is within 0.01mm. The result is no imbalance in the tool producing better surface finish and longer tool life. It is not uncommon for the life of the tool to mill 10,000 to 15,000 lenses with a stable machine.
