    • Who should be using PCD Tooling?

    High volume production operations which do few setups realize the greatest advantage.

    The initial cost of PCD tooling is higher than carbide; however savings are realized in several ways:

    • Reduction in downtime
    • Reduction in operating costs
    • Reduction in scrap
    • Reduction in noise

    What other reasons are there for using PCD?

    • Proper abrasion resistance characteristics to handle manufactured wood as well as man-made materials
    • Extended tool life in natural wood
    • Tools maintain their dimensions more accurately over their working life
