Why use PCD tools ?

It’s an open secret in the manufacturing industry that Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) tipped tools give a cleaner cut and maintain their ultra sharp cutting edge much, much longer than traditional TCT tools.

If you rely on saw blades, router cutters, hoggers etc to keep your business running, you should consider switching to PCD like many of our customers already have – and they’ve never looked back!

Yes, the upfront cost of the tools is higher than TCT, but there are huge savings to made in the long run. If you’re already running close to capacity, you’ll find the massively reduced downtime a god-send, increasing productivity immediately. Plus the quality of cut should ensure reduced wastage, fewer returns and happier customers.

So, what exactly is PCD ?

PCD or Polycrystalline Diamond is a synthetic diamond grain used for its incredible strength and resistance.

With diamond being one of the strongest materials on the planet, PCD tipped tools provide a sharper and more efficient cutting or abrasive edge.

PCD uses micron-sized diamond particles which are sintered together at extreme temperatures with a metallic catalyst. The metal and PCD particles are then bonded on top of a layer of tungsten carbide.

So, a PCD tipped tool is a composite material tool with the resiliency of tungsten and the abrasive resistance and conductivity of diamond. Together, this makes for an effective, hardwearing and versatile cutting and drilling tool.

PCD tipped tools are replacing existing TCT tools due their greater lifespan, excellent finish and downtime savings.
