OK, I Think That This is Wicked Neat

But I'm an engineer, so a lot of the rest of you may not understand why I think that the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamond coatings on tools is neat.

It's been "just around the corner" for some time, and the fact that we are seeing a commercial application (F-35 wing skin cutting), with tool life increasing by a factor of is interesting.

I'm wondering if we're going to start seeing CVD diamond on heat sinks, as it's the most thermally conductive substance on earth.
