  • PCD Tooling
    GLCT manufactures high quality, high precision PCD tooling specific for your application. An optical inspection report is sent to each customer with new and serviced diamond tools. GLCT can also service your PCD tooling (purchases elsewhere as well)....

    • 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
  • Helicarb® Moulder Cutters
    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 Include:

    • The blade in the Helicarb cuter 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 Helical 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.
    • Manufactured in conventional straight bore, hydro bore and PowerLock cutters.
