I have got some industrial diamonds and would like to attach the biggest one to a rod to make a wheel dresser.
But how are they attached?

It is the brazing i wonder about.
I did read that diamond starts turning into graphite in air at temperatures above 700 celsius.
I have some silversolder that will melt beneath that temperature but my torch is way higher in temperature.
Or is it just a matter of being quick about it?
Pardon my contrarianism, but for all the 'good stuff' on-offer in-thread so far, I've found it more productive to take advantage of simply ordering the wanted shank size and Ct weight from the rather large lot of ready-to-use mounted diamond dressers already in a crowded marketplace.
From a few at $6, through many at $20, and larger ones at only $40 or so, the very top brand names even at $80, and with no pressing need to impress anyone with a brand on one of Mother nature's diamonds? The wheel at its work careth little.
All these worthies are already mounted and ready for use, so I cannot be bothered to prep a rod, nor find which of the several solders stashed about might be the best one, and light a torch - not even if I were to find alluvial rough diamonds amongst the latest bag of Home Depot pea-gravel I've been using to pave a driveway extension.
They DO usually last through more than just the one pass at dressing a wheel, after all.
Isn't this really in about the same category as refilling disposable Bic lighters, just because we've figured out HOW to do?
