DRB-208 CNC Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) Tipped Up/Down Shear R/H Direction 1/2 Dia x 1-3/8 x 1/2 Inch Shank Router Bit

Diamond is the hardest material on the earth. Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) tooling is manufactured in a high-temperature and high-pressure laboratory that fuses diamond particles onto a carbide substrate, which allows the diamond to be brazed onto a tool body.

If you’re looking for the ultimate in tooling, you’ve found it! Amana Tool®'s PCD tipped compression CNC router bits will groove, joint and rabbet a wide variety of tough, abrasive materials including composites, particleboard, MDF (both raw or with melamine), veneer and hardwoods. The cutting edge lasts at least 25 times longer than carbide for extremely long life. Depending on the material being cut, PCD tooling has been known to out perform a carbide tool by a ratio of 300:1. However, to be conservative in your buying decision, we suggest you base your expectations on 25:1 ratio over carbide tooling.
