How hard is the cutting material?

The carbide grade used in this pcd slot cutter 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 slot cutter 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 Slot Cutter

PCD slot cutter for grooving MDF, plywood, solid wood and selected acrylic workpieces; the pictured body carries a 120*35*H10*6T marking.

Product Description

Design and Construction

The PCD slot cutter cuts grooves and slots in MDF, plywood, solid wood and selected acrylic workpieces on compatible machines. The pictured body carries the marking 120*35*H10*6T (120 mm diameter, 35 mm bore, 10 mm height, 6 teeth) engraved on the blade; further configurations are confirmed against the application details.

How It Works

The cutter grooves the workpiece in a single pass: the diamond cutting teeth shear the slot walls while the listed bore matches the machine spindle. The slot width and depth follow the programmed pass and the listed cutting height.

Applications

Slot and groove cutting
Panel joint grooving
Acrylic grooving (selected grades)
Grooving production runs

Suitable Materials

MDF
Plywood
Solid wood
Selected acrylic workpieces

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.
