What is Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) Tooling? PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond) has been used in the wood/composites industry for over 40 years due to its abrasion resistant properties and hardness.  This synthetic cutting edge material was pioneered by the DeBeers company (famed for their natural diamond mining history) and General Electric’s Specialty Materials Division.   Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD […]

Custom Profile Tooling We design and make custom profile tooling for a very wide range of cutting applications machining wood or composite materials on CNC routers and machining centers. Insert tooling often dramatically reduces tooling cost, as insert knives that are simply replaced with new ones, when dull, guarantee exact profile repeatability every time. Contrary […]
