PCD cutting tool blanks for woodworking

Many new materials have come out and more automatic production lines even CNC machines are used in woodworking industry and other industrial fields, all these require the tools must have much higher wear resistance, better processing quality and higher production efficiency to replace most alloy steel and carbide tools, therefore more and more tools are tipped with diamond (PCD) in recent decades. On the other side, cost competitiveness comes from looking at each step in the manufacturing process and most woodworking tool makers are under severe cost pressure as well as market pressure. Facing such conditions, more and more far-sighted tool makers and their customers must try to differentiate themselves from their competitors.

Basing on woodworking industry applications, TopTip Diamond has developed and is able to supply 7 series of PCD grades for various types of tools such as circular saw blade, router cutter, jointing cutter, profile cutter, grooving cutter, cutter head, hogger, dividing saw, boring drill and end mills, etc. at favorable pricing for processing all kind of materials from woodworking and other nonmetallic industries including chipboard (particleboard), laminates, MDF/HDF, reinforced particle panels, veneer, melamine faced boards, SPC/WPC, electronic circuit boards, aluminium frame, PVC floor, plastic and rubber, glass, stone, concrete, carbon fibers and other highly abrasive composite materials.

Among these materials, chipboard is one of the most difficult to process due to their rather uneven and motley quality in different countries. Some chipboard even have high proportion of foreign matter such as recycled content (metallic particles as steel nails) and minerals (stones and sand). Therefore, the tools for processing chipboard must be tipped with higher performance PCD teeth/tips that have much better balance of chip/impact resistance and wear resistance. For this purpose,TopTip Diamond has developed a unique grade of PCD (MTS005) which works so well in many countries.
