To understand why polycrystalline diamond (PCD) is used to cut wood, you have to forget about what is being cut and concentrate on how it is being cut. The speed and accuracy that is needed in the manufacturing process of today are what force the use of diamond. While carbide is measured in cubic millimeters of material removed and we evaluate stone and concrete cutting in terms of inches per minute feed rates, woodworking is discussed in terms of cubic yards per minute of material removed and thousands of feet per minute feed rates.

AMELIA ISLAND, Fla. – Steel tariffs, unfair trade barriers and technical education continue to be issues for member companies of the Wood Machinery Manufacturers of America. During a meeting of WMMA’s Public Policy Committee, member companies discussed these issues and possible legislative remedies. Steel tariffs had caused steel prices to rise steeply, but in recent months steel prices have fallen, these companies observed. High steel prices are not the issue that they last year. One company reported difficulty in getting high-speed steel from Europe.
