Custom

Carter PCD-Tipped Custom Tools are incredibly long lasting – many times the life of tungsten carbide. Achieve longer tool life on abrasive nonferrous metals as well as non-metallic materials.

Now you can produce accurate shapes
and contours and accomplish ”impossible“ machining jobs, quickly and efficiently while

producing superior quality surfaces.

		Today's manufacturers are finding it profitable to replace tungsten carbide with Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) tooling in most machining applications. PCD tooling has made "very difficult" or "impossible" cutting tool jobs not only feasible, but very practical and profitable.
		PCD tooling has extremely high resistance to abrasive cutting edge wear when machining nonferrous metals and nonmetallic materials, including composites. High wear-resistance means less tool resharpening and tool adjustments (normally necessary to compensate for tool wear). PCD can also be operated at much higher feeds and speeds than other cutting materials, further reducing production time and costs.
		While PCD tooling is initially more expensive than tungsten carbide tooling, the cost is offset by longer life. As a result PCD has a much lower total tooling cost than mosr other cutting tool material available today.
		PCD cutting tools produce excellent results when machining the following categories of non-ferrous metals and non-metallic materials:
		• Aluminum • Aluminum Alloys • Copper • Brass • Bronze • Carbon • Composites • Fiberglass • Graphite	• Magnesium • Plastics • Prefired Ceramics • Presintered Tungsten Carbide • Rubber • Silver • Wood • Wood products
		Carter Diamond Tool Corp. manufactures a large variety of Custom-Designed Diamond Tools for a number of different industries. A few current designs are illustrated on this page. We also make PCD contact points and wear surfaces. Let us help you replace your tungsten carbide tools with PCD tools.
