This PCD Compression Bit combines true up-cut and down-cut flute geometry to push and pull chips toward the centre of the cut, producing chip-free edges on both faces of the sheet. With an 8mm cutting diameter and 22mm cut length, it’s built for CNC routing, joinery and furniture production across plywood, MDF, solid timber and laminates. Key benefits Chip-free edges on top and bottom surfaces thanks to up-cut + down-cut compression geometry. Up to 25× longer life vs standard carbide in abrasive materials (less tool changes, more uptime). High-speed productivity—PCD supports higher speeds/feeds than carbide, reducing cycle times. Superior surface finish—sharp, stable cutting edges deliver consistent, smooth results over long runs. Reduced downtime & lower total cost—higher upfront cost, but fewer changeovers and longer intervals between replacements. Versatile in abrasive materials—excellent on wood composites, carbon fibre, fibreglass, and ACM. Heat & wear resistance improves efficiency and stability in demanding manufacturing runs. Improved safety & sustainability—fewer risky manual tool changes; no regrinding required. .atlas-spec-table-wrap { padding: 5px; margin: 30px 0 0; border: 1px solid #000; border-radius: 16px; overflow: hidden; background: #161616; box-shadow: inset 0px 1px 2px rgba(255,255,255,0.5), inset 0px 1px 2px rgba(255,255,255,0.5), 5px 8px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.5), 0 0px 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.5); } .atlas-spec-table { width: 100%; border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0; border: 0; margin: 0; background: transparent; } .atlas-spec-table th { background: #dca101; color: #000000; text-align: left; padding: 14px 16px; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 800; } .atlas-spec-table th:first-child { border-top-left-radius: 12px; border-top-left-radius: 12px; border-right: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.2); } .atlas-spec-table td { padding: 14px 16px; border-top: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.08); } .atlas-spec-table td:first-child { width: 42%; border-right: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.08); color: #f2f2f2; font-weight: bold; } .atlas-spec-table td:last-child { color: #d6d6d6; } .atlas-spec-table tbody tr:nth-child(odd) td { background: #1f1f1f; } .atlas-spec-table tbody tr:nth-child(even) td { background: #161616; } .atlas-spec-table th:first-child { border-top-left-radius: 12px; } .atlas-spec-table th:last-child { border-top-right-radius: 12px; } Spec Result Diameter 8mm Cut Length 22mm Shank (Collet Size) 12.7mm Overall Length 38mm Flutes 2 Shank Material Carbide (Faster Feed Rates) Why PCD is different PCD (polycrystalline diamond) cutting edges are fused onto a carbide substrate, creating an exceptionally hard edge that maintains sharpness far longer than carbide—especially in abrasive materials. The result is less downtime, higher throughput, and a more consistent finish over long production runs. Extreme durability & longevity—ideal for high-volume production with fewer tool changes. High-speed productivity—higher speeds/feeds vs carbide improves cycle times and throughput. Superior surface finish—stable edges keep the finish consistent from the first sheet to the last. Versatile applications—excellent for wood composites, carbon fibre, fibreglass, and aluminium composite panels (ACM). Shank options This model uses a high-speed steel (HSS) shank to reduce overall cost while keeping the PCD cutting edge performance where it matters. A carbide shank version is also available for higher RPM / higher-speed cutting setups where maximum stiffness is required. PCD vs other tool materials Vs carbide: lasts significantly longer and maintains sharpness better, especially in abrasive materials. Vs conventional tooling: stronger resistance to heat and wear, enabling higher efficiency and better manufacturing consistency.
