While there is a learning curve to machining macor it is certainly achievable with the correct skill and patience.
How to machine ceramic rod.
Ceramics can be made from several different types of hard metal oxides or nitrides.
Glass mica ceramic rods machine complicated shapes and precision parts from these glass mica ceramic bars in a fraction of the time it would take using other types of fired ceramic.
Talks about how to use the ceramic rods demonstrates the razor sharp edge they can produce the advantages of using them the smaller field version of the ceramic rods and how to.
These rods are excellent for edge maintenance or providing the finishing grit.
Additionally materials like silicon carbide sic may not fit the precise definition of a ceramic material but they can still be classified as part of the ceramic family.
