How hard is the cutting material?

The carbide grade used in this pre milling cutters pcd inserts delivers 7,000–9,000 HV / 1,500–2,000 HV hardness, which keeps the cutting edge sharp under continuous load.

Can you supply OEM or ODM parts, and how fast?

Yes. VPOINT TOOLS runs two factories in China (Chengdu and Dongguan) and accepts OEM and ODM orders. Standard samples and in-stock items ship within 24-48 hours; custom tooling is quoted per specification.

Which machines and materials is this pre milling cutters pcd inserts used for?

It is used on CNC routers, table saws and spindle moulders for cutting particle board, MDF, plywood, solid wood and aluminium composite panels. Chipbreaker or replaceable-insert models are available for high-volume production runs.

Do you ship worldwide?

Yes. VPOINT TOOLS ships carbide and PCD woodworking tooling to more than 100 countries. Tell us the destination and application and we will confirm freight cost and lead time.

Pre Milling Cutters PCD inserts

Pre-milling cutters with PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond) inserts are designed for high-precision machining of materials like wood, composites, and certain plastics. These cutters are ideal for preparing surfaces before final machining processes.

Product Description

The pre-milling cutters with PCD inserts prepare the panel edge before banding, removing saw overhang and the old glue line on edge banding pre-milling stations. Insert grades and cutterhead sizes are matched to the machine.

Design and Construction

The pre-milling cutters carry replaceable polycrystalline diamond inserts on steel cutterhead bodies. Insert position and cutterhead geometry are set for the pre-milling station of the edge banding line.

How It Works

At the pre-milling station the cutter removes saw overhang and the old glue line, leaving a fresh, square edge for the band. Worn inserts are indexed or replaced without removing the cutterhead.

Applications

Pre-milling stations on edge banders
Edge preparation before banding
High-volume panel lines

Suitable Materials

Melamine-faced particleboard
MDF and laminated boards
Veneered plywood
Solid wood edge panels

Material Comparison: PCD vs. Tungsten Carbide

The figures below are typical industry data for production woodworking. PCD does not replace carbide in every job — carbide remains the right choice for low-volume general work — but on abrasive sheet goods the difference in blade life is decisive.

Property	PCD Diamond (This Blade)	Tungsten Carbide
Hardness	7,000–9,000 HV	1,500–2,000 HV
Tool life on MDF / particleboard / melamine	15–20× longer (500–1,200 h)	30–60 h (baseline)
Tool life on solid hardwood	10–13× longer (800–2,000 h)	80–150 h (baseline)
Tool life on abrasive boards (fibre cement / composites)	10–15× longer	baseline
Edge renewal	Limited regrinds — the economics come from 15–20× longer intervals between changes, not regrind count	4–6 regrinds at shorter intervals
Cut finish	Ra ≤ 0.2 μm achievable, stable over the blade life	Ra ~0.8 μm typical, degrades as teeth wear
Thermal conductivity	540–560 W/m·K — heat leaves the tooth tip fast	~80 W/m·K
Friction coefficient	≈ 0.05 — lower cutting forces and heat	≈ 0.3
Suited for	Abrasive engineered wood, laminates, composites, fibre cement, non-ferrous metals	General-purpose solid-wood work; the economic choice at lower volumes

Figures are typical published values; actual blade life depends on the workpiece material, feed rate, depth of cut, machine condition and maintenance schedule.

Delivery Scope

Single blade. Order by part number with the diameter, bore, width and tooth count stated in the specifications table below.

Why Choose VPOINT

One-year warranty on every blade — defects in material or workmanship are covered for 12 months from delivery.
Custom tooling — diameters, kerfs, bores and tooth counts built to your drawing or sample.
Non-standard fabrication — sizes outside the standard catalogue, including bore re-sizing and tooth-count changes.
Resharpening service — blades return to service after regrinding at a fraction of new-blade cost.
Factory-direct since 2008 — ISO 9001 manufacturing in Sichuan and Dongguan, China; 40Cr chrome-molybdenum steel bodies; no trading intermediaries.

Send a drawing, a sample or a worn blade, and our engineering team will quote the exact specification you need.

Precision & Quality Control

Every blade is inspected before shipment. Outside diameter, kerf thickness, plate thickness, bore diameter and tooth count are measured against the values listed in the specifications table, and tooth geometry (hook angle, bevel angle) is verified against the design drawing. Blades are stress-checked for runout and tension before packing.

Blades measuring outside tolerance do not ship. Inspection is performed under our ISO 9001 quality system, with batch records retained for traceability.

Specifications

Cutters are produced to order: state the machine model, the cutterhead diameter and width, and the insert grade for the board being processed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Pre Milling Cutters PCD inserts used for?

The pre-milling cutters carry replaceable polycrystalline diamond inserts on steel cutterhead bodies.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the specification table on this page: part numbers fix the cutting diameter, shank and cutting length. State the diameter, shank and cutting length you need when ordering.

Which materials does it suit?

Typical materials include Melamine-faced particleboard, MDF and laminated boards, Veneered plywood. Confirm the material grade and machining conditions for the specific tool before ordering.

Can I order a custom version?

Yes. Send the profile drawing or item code together with the workpiece material, machine model, cutting direction and quantity. Tools are produced to order, and each tool is packed in an individual plastic box.
