What Is PCD Tooling and How Can it Help?
Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) tools have been a staple piece of the manufacturing industry for over 40 years. These diamond tools increase machine efficiency and durability with their abrasion-resistant material. No matter the size or complexity of your industry, PCD tools can help you save both time and money with their durability.
PCD tools are composed of diamond particles that are infused into a metallic binder to create one of the most abrasion-resistant and durable materials in the metal cutting industry. You can rest assured that your PCD tool will be built to last and will cut your products with ease. PCD tools are also offered in a variety of forms and quality grades.
When you contact National Diamond Tool & Coating, we can discuss the needs of your business and get right to work on creating a PCD tool that will perfectly match your needs.
We pride ourselves on our commitment to your needs and create each tool specifically for you. If your tool needs any repairs and additional services, one of our customer service experts can easily go over your options to ensure your satisfaction.
