PCD Spiral Round-Bottom Router Bit

20 mm-shank PCD round-bottom cutter family for shaped recesses such as bowls and spoons. 65/55 mm head diameters with 2+2T and 3+3T tooth configurations as supplied.

Design and Construction

The PCD spiral round-bottom router bit family machines shaped recesses, including the pictured bowl and spoon applications. The chart lists 20 mm shank diameter with 65 mm (33 mm head height, 2+2T) and 55 mm (28 mm head height, 3+3T) head configurations as supplied; the cutting material is PCD.

How It Works

The ball-nose head sweeps the recess in CNC passes: the spiral diamond teeth shear the curved bottom and walls while the 20 mm shank matches the tool holder. The pictured bowl and spoon show the typical finished applications of this head family.

Applications

  • Shaped recesses (bowls, spoons)
  • 3D CNC surface machining
  • Round-bottom cavity work
  • CNC router production runs

Suitable Materials

  • Hardwood blanks
  • Selected softwoods
  • Wood-based bowl and spoon stock
  • Selected tool-handle 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.
