How hard is the cutting material?

The carbide grade used in this pcd diamond spiral milling cutter z1+1 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 pcd diamond spiral milling cutter z1+1 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.

PCD DIAMOND Spiral Milling Cutter Z1+1

PCD PLUS-tipped Z1+1 spiral milling cutter for sizing and pre-cutting particle board, MDF, raw chipboard and coated timber or composite panels at high feed speed. Rough and finish milling in one pass, eleven reference sizes OD12–20 mm with shanks 10–25 mm.

Product Description

PCD DIAMOND Spiral Milling Cutter Z1+1 for CNC Woodworking

VPOINT offers PCD DIAMOND Spiral Milling Cutter Z1+1 for sizing and pre-cutting on CNC panel lines. The Z1+1 diamond layout combines one finishing edge with one roughing edge for rough and finish milling in a single pass. This page brings together the original product information, available size references and the details needed for a tooling enquiry.

Applications and material selection

Typical operation: high-performance sizing and pre-cutting with PCD PLUS-tipped cutters — the Z1+1 layout performs rough and finish milling in one pass, and the geometry is suitable for machining coated timber and composite workpieces at high feed speed.

Materials listed for this product include particle board and MDF panels, raw chipboard and plastic material, subject to grade and application review. Suitability depends on the specific material grade, panel construction and machining conditions; confirm the application before ordering.

Machine compatibility and configuration

For CNC woodworking machines, CNC machining centres, engraving machines and panel sizing lines. Confirm the spindle or collet interface (reference sizes run on shanks from 10 to 25 mm), cutting direction, machine clearance and workpiece setup for the selected tool.

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 cutter life is decisive.

Property	PCD Diamond (This Cutter)	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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the PCD DIAMOND Spiral Milling Cutter Z1+1 used for?

High-performance sizing and pre-cutting: the Z1+1 diamond layout pairs one roughing edge with one finishing edge for rough and finish milling in a single pass on CNC panel lines.

Which materials does it suit?

Particle board and MDF panels, raw chipboard and plastic material, plus coated timber and composite workpieces machined at high feed speed.

How do I choose the right size?

Eleven reference sizes run from OD12 to OD20 mm (including 12.7 mm), with shanks from 10 to 25 mm, cutting lengths (L1) from 20 to 52 mm and overall lengths from 70 to 120 mm — match the cutter diameter and cutting length to the panel stack and machine clearance.

Can I order a custom size?

Yes. Send the required cutter diameter, cutting length and shank, plus the workpiece material and machine model, and the cutter will be produced to order.
