2 Flute, 20 inclusive Degree (10 Degree), 1/2" Shank Diameter, 2" Overall Length Dovetail tool allows for use on CNC machines. For use with material thicknesses of 3/8” to 1/2”. Mating dovetail joint is cut with 1/4” straight spiral.
PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond) bits perform exceptionally well in CNC woodworking applications even when used on plastics and non-ferrous metals. Some examples of uses include those with panel saw blades, router bits and cutter heads, and many more. PCD tooling is not recommended for hand operated tools. PCD comprises of a polycrystalline aggregate of manufactured diamonds approximately 0.6 - 0.8mm thick bonded to a substrate of cemented tungsten carbide 1 - 2.7mm thick. The composite substance combines the hardness and high thermal conductivity of diamond with the brazeability of tungsten carbide. The micron-sized manufactured diamonds are randomly oriented to give consistent wear-resisting properties in all directions. PCD is the hardest man-made material in the world. It is excellent cutting material because it wears exceptionally well. The micron-sized manufactured diamonds of PCD are randomly oriented to give consistent wear across the cutting edge. The wear rate of PCD cutting edges is not only much less then carbide, but also much more even; PCD wears by erosion rather than edge breakdown. When used properly, end users can expect 30 times the tool life when compared to carbide; In some cases, up to 120 times the tool life. Not only does it wear evenly and increase tool life, PCD use cuts down on the end user's tool change and setup time which saves money and increases productivity
