MCD stands for monocrystalline diamond. Unlike a conventional carbide cutting edge, an MCD edge is made from a single crystal of diamond, a very hard material chosen for its wear resistance and ability to hold a sharp cutting edge.
MCD router bits are used in applications where a precise cut and consistent finish are important. They may be suitable for selected non-ferrous materials, plastics and composites, depending on the material and the bit’s design. Suitability can vary, so check the individual product specifications before choosing a bit.
Material, machine setup and cutting conditions all affect the result. Refer to each product’s listed dimensions and operating guidance to see whether it matches your application.
