PCD Blades are blades for circular saws, but compared to a standard circular saw blade where the teeth are tungsten carbide tipped, PCD blades have teeth made of Polycrystalline Diamond. They are otherwise referred to as diamond PCD blades.
Most PCD Blades typically have 4 or 8 teeth. Due to the durability of the tooth, it is unnecessary to have multiple teeth like a TCT blade. Also compared to TCT teeth, PCD teeth will take shavings meaning less dust.
Nakamura PCD Blades feature an extra-large gullet design which improves the removal of material.
When using a PCD Blade is important to never have the blade sticking more than 1mm out of the bottom of the substrate.
By allowing the whole tooth to be exposed below the material, the tooth will smash into the bottom of the substrate as it comes back through. This action will weaken the tooth and cause it to shatter or detach itself from the blade.
Nakamura PCD Blades will last up to 15x longer in these materials compared to a TCT blade, making them an excellent price/performance blade.
PCD Blades should not be used on ferrous materials, because Polycrystalline Diamond reacts to elements such as iron and cobalt, so this will cause tool deterioration.
PCD saw blades for cutting chipboard individually or in packs together with scoring blade. To cut boards made of chipboard, fibreboard, composite materials, plastics, cement reinforced with fibres, etc. suitable for rough cut or finished cut. PCD saw blades for panel sizing machines and vertical panel sizing machines. Suitable for all type materials including M.D.F., chipboard, whether covered or plain, veneered boards, plastics, acrylics, hard and abrasives laminates, materials containing glass or carbon fibre, aluminium profiles and sheets and PVC.
