How hard is the cutting material?

The carbide grade used in this pcd hinge boring bit delivers 1,500-2,000 HV / 7,000-9,000 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 hinge boring bit 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 Hinge Boring Bit

PCD hinge boring bit for row drills, bench drills and CNC drilling setups. 10 mm D-flat shank for multi-spindle boring machines, 12.7 mm shank for CNC machining centres.

Product Description

Design and Construction

The PCD hinge boring bit drills hinge cups and hardware holes with a diamond cutting edge. The chart lists two shank options: a 10 mm D-flat shank for multi-spindle boring machines or bench drilling machines, and a 12.7 mm (1/2-inch) shank for CNC machining centres; the cutting material is PCD as listed.

How It Works

The bit drills the hinge bore in a single drilling cycle: the diamond cutting edges shear the hole wall while the listed shank matches the machine chuck. PCD holds the cutting edge across abrasive panel materials over extended drilling runs.

Applications

Hinge cup boring
Hardware hole drilling
Multi-spindle boring machines
CNC drilling centres (12.7 mm shank)

Suitable Materials

Melamine-faced particleboard
MDF and laminated boards
Plywood panels
Selected abrasive panel materials

Material Comparison: Tungsten Carbide vs. PCD (Diamond)

This tool is a PCD (polycrystalline diamond) cutter. Tungsten carbide is the conventional alternative. Typical industry data:

Property	Tungsten Carbide Cutter	PCD (Diamond) Cutter (This Tool)
Hardness	1,500-2,000 HV	7,000-9,000 HV
Best suited for	General profiling across mixed materials	Highly abrasive boards and long production runs
Tool life vs. carbide baseline	1x (baseline)	10-15x on abrasive panels (typical industry data)
Edge wear on MDF/particleboard	Wear visible within shorter runs	Minimal wear over extended runs
Toughness	Higher toughness; tolerates impacts better	Lower toughness; sensitive to impact and metal contamination
Regrinding	Can be reground	Not reground in the normal case
Initial cost	Lower	Higher
Cost per part at long runs	Usually higher	Usually lower on abrasive, long-run work
Typical choice	Short runs and mixed materials	This tool: long-run profiling on abrasive boards

Typical industry data; actual tool life varies with workpiece, machine and feeds.
