PCD Cutting Tools

March 23, 2016

West Ohio Tool Co. says its PCD tools have been proven to reduce costs, setup times and changeovers while maintaining the tight tolerances required in today’s manufacturing operations. Several of the new cross-center tip drills continue to run in high-silicon aluminum with over 700,000 hits, showing no sign of wear, and the helical diamond-veined endmills have logged in excess of 10,000 linear inches trimming composite materials.
