    • 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 these 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
  • Great-Loc® SG Universal Tool System
    The Great-Loc® SG Universal Tool System is the safest, most accurate and easy to use system in the market for replacing inserts, achieved through integral clamping that features a positive registration tab....

    • Advantages/Benefits of the Great-Loc® SG Universal Tool System:

    • Universal: Inserts and backers are interchangeable between bodies (i.e. router and cutter) manufactured with the same cutting width and hook angle
    • Designed for both short and long production runs
    • Fast and efficient set-up
    • Eliminates the need for dedicated tool bodies
    • Able to run multiple profiles in the same cutter
    • Optically inspected precision ground inserts
    • Superior performance
    • Available in straight bore, hydro bore, HSK and PowerLock
  • Helicarb® Moulder Cutter
    The cutters feature a continuous one-piece replaceable helical carbide blade for cutters up to 235mm in width and are twisted to a known helix. Wider cutters have blades that are spliced....

    • Advantages of this Technology includes:

    • The blade in the Helicarb cutter produces a smooth shearing action, like a pair of scissors. This action reduces tear-out in hardwoods, softwoods, irregular grain and laminated veneer lumber.
    • Helicarb cutters give a superior smooth finish on all woods, MDF & plastics.
    • The Helicarb cutter can accept blades of various hook angles.
    • The Helicarb blades are replaceable, keeping downtime to a minimum.
    • Blades are easily resharpened to a high degree of accuracy with proper grinding equipment.
    • The Helicarb cutter consumes up to 16% less electrical power than a straight knife cutter, reducing operating costs.
    • Helicarb cutters run quieter than a straight knife cutter.
