How hard is the cutting material?

The carbide grade used in this pcd dovetail router bit delivers 1,500–2,000 HV (carbide) / 7,000–9,000 HV (PCD diamond) 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.

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 Dovetail Router Bit

This PCD dovetail router bit cuts dovetail profiles and mating woodworking joints on CNC routers. The diamond edge keeps the dovetail angle accurate in abrasive boards where carbide bits round over quickly.

Product Description

PCD Dovetail Router Bit for CNC Woodworking

Design and Construction

＋Polycrystalline diamond (PCD) cutting edges are brazed onto a steel body ground to the dovetail angle. The chart lists part numbers 0303W0904–3808 with cutting diameters from 9.52 to 38.1 mm, cutting heights from 10 to 36 mm and angles of 8° or 14°/14.5°, in 1/4″ and 1/2″ shanks. The series is produced in the Sichuan and Dongguan, China manufacturing bases.

How It Works

＋In the CNC router the dovetail profile cuts the angled joint walls in one pass; mating parts are cut with the matching angle for a tight interlock. The PCD edge holds the angle through long joint runs, keeping the fit consistent batch after batch.

Applications

Dovetail profiles and mating woodworking joints
Drawer and box joint production on CNC routers

Suitable Materials

MDF, chipboard and calcium board, 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 dovetail angle, width, depth and mating-part dimensions, plus the joint drawing, 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
Dual manufacturing bases in Sichuan and Dongguan, China

Precision & Quality Control

＋Every dovetail router bit is inspected before shipment: cutting diameter, radius, shank diameter and tool runout are checked against the specification table at micron level. Production follows an ISO 9001 process with batch traceability, so reorders match the original configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which angles are available?

＋The chart lists 8° and 14°/14.5° angles with cutting diameters from 9.52 to 38.1 mm, in 1/4″ and 1/2″ shanks, as shown in the chart.

Can it cut both mating parts?

＋Yes — the dovetail profile and its mating joint are cut with the same angle; send the joint drawing so the cutter profile and machining sequence are reviewed.
