Has anyone come across a supplier of diamond impregnated brazing rods local to Europe ?
I can get them from the US but wondering if anyone knew of a more local reliable supplier?

Sounds like you may want to approach people that deal with the oil field or mining. (Cutting and Wear springs to mind) In all my time working with diamond, this is the first I am hearing of impregnated rods, would have thought the brazing temps would cause the diamond to graphatise... learn something every day.
Have you contacted Johnson Matthey? They supplied me with some very rare rods a few years ago.

I think they where designed for large concrete / stone cutting tools.
I have had some from here years ago , well I say I got them , actually a got one from someone who had bought them from the site.
But then I kicked myself because I remembered he had changed to a 2 part diamond epoxy which worked nearly as well at a lot lower cost.
Thanks for the link though :)

For a try at making some of these :) I have a couple that where in a shed clearance (somewhere).. on eBay. And I PM'd the seller and he said his dad probably got them from the US site. But I have seen people use 2 part epoxy mixed with diamond powder for the size of spheres I'm attempting.
I'm intrigued at the method they use for these LINK
