PCD Core Box Bits

These PCD core box bits cut round-bottom grooves, veining lines and spherical recesses on CNC woodworking machines, engraving machines and routing machines. The polycrystalline diamond edge keeps the round profile crisp through long runs on abrasive panels.

PCD Core Box Bits for CNC Woodworking

PCD Core Box Bits

Design and Construction

+Polycrystalline diamond (PCD) cutting edges are brazed onto a precision-ground steel body with a polished 12.7 mm shank. The chart lists item codes LH10001–LH10014 with cutting diameters from 4.76 to 50 mm, cutting heights from 6 to 30 mm and radii from 2.38 to 25 mm, all in 2Z tooth layout. The series is produced in the Sichuan and Dongguan, China manufacturing bases.

How It Works

+Mounted in the CNC spindle, the half-round diamond profile shears a smooth round-bottom channel in a single pass. The PCD edge holds its radius on MDF and particleboard, so veining lines and recesses stay consistent across the whole nesting sheet.

Applications

  • Round-bottom grooves, veining and spherical recesses
  • Decorative carving and panel detailing on CNC routers

Suitable Materials

  • Hardwood, softwood, plywood and composite workpieces, subject to grade and application review
  • Suitability depends on the specific material grade, profile and machining conditions; confirm the application before ordering

Material Comparison: Traditional Carbide Router Bit vs. Diamond (PCD) Router Bit

+Typical industry data for reference. Actual results depend on the workpiece grade, machine condition and feed rate.

Property Traditional Carbide Router Bit Diamond (PCD) Router Bit
Cutting edge hardness 1,500–2,000 HV (carbide) 7,000–9,000 HV (PCD diamond)
Edge life on abrasive panels Baseline (1×) 15–20× longer edge life
Heat resistance of the edge Loses hardness above ≈ 315 °C Retains hardness up to ≈ 1,000 °C
Feed rate at equal quality Lower Higher
Sharpness retention on MDF / particleboard Dulls quickly Holds the edge through long runs
Regrinding cycles over tool life 2–4 times 5–8 times
Cut edge quality as the edge wears More fuzzing and tearout Consistent clean walls
Chipping risk on brittle boards Higher at high feed Lower, stable edge at high feed
Typical machines Light-duty routers CNC routers, engraving and routing machines
Cost per metre of cut Higher over long runs Lower over long runs

Delivery Scope

Each tool is packed in an individual plastic box.

+Each order also includes an inspection record. Send the item code or required profile drawing, tool dimensions, workpiece material, machine model, cutting direction and quantity so the configuration is confirmed before production.

Why Choose VPOINT

+VPOINT supports this PCD router bit series with:

  • One-year warranty on every tool
  • Custom profiles, diameters and shanks produced to order
  • Regrinding service to extend tool life
  • Factory direct since 2008, ISO 9001 certified

Frequently Asked Questions

Which diameters and radii are available?

+Item codes LH10001 through LH10014 cover cutting diameters from 4.76 to 50 mm with radii from 2.38 to 25 mm, all 2Z, as shown in the specification chart.

Which machines can run these bits?

+Compatible CNC woodworking machines, engraving machines and routing machines; confirm the spindle or collet interface (12.7 mm shank) and machine clearance.

Can it cut spherical recesses?

+Yes. Round-bottom grooves, veining and spherical recesses are the listed operations; share the recess profile so the cutter shape is checked against the workpiece.

What should I send for a quotation?

+The item code or required profile drawing, tool dimensions, workpiece material, machine model, cutting direction and quantity.
