Applications and material selection

Typical operation: high-performance sizing and pre-cutting with PCD PRO-tipped cutters — the Z2+2 layout performs rough and finish milling in one pass, with good cutting quality, very good chip disposal and bottom-cutting for ramp-plunging.

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

Boards this cutter is used on: solid wood board, silicate board, multilayer board, MDF, HPL, particle board, red wood and plywood

Machine compatibility and configuration

For CNC woodworking machines, CNC machining centres, engraving machines and panel sizing lines. The design is available with right and left hand rotation, is resharpenable, and the length adjusting screw on the shank compensates wear. Feed speed is rated up to 20 m/min when jointing and 12 m/min when sizing, with a maximum spindle speed of 28,000 min-1. Confirm the spindle or collet interface, cutting direction, machine clearance and workpiece setup for the selected tool.

Typical machines for PCD diamond spiral cutters: engraving machine, trimming machine, hanging machine and cutting machine

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 Router Bits Z2+2 used for?

Sizing and pre-cutting with a Z2+2 diamond layout: rough and finish milling in one pass, with bottom-cutting geometry that allows ramp-plunging.

Which materials does it suit?

Particle board and MDF panels, raw chipboard and plastic material, machined in small and medium sized batches.

How fast can it run?

Feed speed is rated up to 20 m/min when jointing and 12 m/min when sizing, with a maximum spindle speed of 28,000 min-1.

Is it resharpenable, and how is wear compensated?

Yes. The cutter is resharpenable, and the length adjusting screw on the shank is used for length compensation.
