PCD, or polycrystalline diamond router cutters are a top choice for many woodworkers due to their unmatched durability and sharpness. Polycrystalline diamond is a synthetic material created by fusing diamond particles under high pressure and temperature, resulting in a cutting tool that stands up to the toughest materials.
One major advantage of PCD cutters is their incredible hardness. This property allows them to retain their sharp edges much longer than traditional carbide or high-speed steel cutters. As a result, you spend less time on maintenance and more on actual woodworking.
To get the best performance from your PCD router cutters, it’s important to follow best practices. Use the recommended cutting speeds for PCD cutters to avoid premature wear, and ensure you choose the appropriate PCD cutter for your specific task. It’s key that the material is securely clamped and positioned correctly to achieve clean cuts. Stable set-ups reduce vibrations, which can prolong the cutter’s life and improve accuracy. Regularly check and maintain your CNC router or milling machine.
Getting the most out of your PCD router cutters involves understanding their advantages, maintaining them well, using them efficiently, and troubleshooting issues as they arise. These cutters offer incredible benefits in terms of durability and precision, making them an excellent choice for serious woodworking projects.
