Hi there,
This is Bogdan from Romania.
I'm a mechanical engineer - specialized in the industrial robotic field, 3D designer, industrial designer and, 3D modeler.
For some of my projects, I'm also doing the physical prototype too.
I'm doing product design, industrial design, reverse engineering, ideation, etc.
I have over 15 years of experience working on various systems/devices across multiple industries, from concept to launch.
1 - the issue is not the tool you use (the diamond head) but the way the process is made...
2 - the best solution would be to have a turret which to accommodates the graphite collector shoes (it looks like collector shoes for dc motors), kept them firmly into position, and pass them through the cutting tool - other methods will damage quite a lot of the shoes...
3 - there is the problem of having the turret feeder manually or automatic...
For any more questions, we could chat here, including the whole details of the project, final price, time frame, deliverables, etc, etc...
Regards
Bogdan
