Call to order
Designed for heavy-duty production on abrasive materials like high-density MDF, compact laminates, and carbon composites, this PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond) 3+3 spiral cutter lasts up to 50 times longer than standard solid carbide. Get industrial production speeds and unmatched tool life without paying the astronomical markups charged by big-name industrial tool vendors. In addition to high-performance diamond CNC bits, we carry many other hard-to-find products in the US to help streamline your operations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond) different from carbide?
PCD is a synthetic diamond material that is significantly harder and more abrasion-resistant than tungsten carbide. This means a PCD cutter maintains its sharp edge much longer, minimizing downtime for tool changes in high-volume production environments.
What materials require a diamond cutter?
PCD bits are highly recommended for extremely abrasive materials that quickly dull standard carbide bits. This includes high-density MDF, HDF, melamine, compact laminates (like Phenolic/Trespa), solid surface materials (like Corian), and carbon fiber composites.
Can a PCD bit be sharpened once it gets dull?
Yes, PCD tools can be professionally re-sharpened. However, because the diamond layer is relatively thin and extremely hard, they require specialized electrical discharge machining (EDM) or specialized diamond grinding services.
