PCD Tipped 1-Edge
Solid Carbide 3-Edge Insert Knife
Amana Tool RCK-459-PCD is the exact 12 x 12 x 1.5mm polycrystalline diamond (PCD) tipped and solid carbide insert knife featuring one PCD cutting edge, three solid carbide cutting edges, a 45-degree angle, a 35-degree bevel, and engineered specifically for CNC routing and machining of MDF and chipboard.
Main Product Description
Amana Tool RCK-459-PCD is the exact polycrystalline diamond and solid carbide insert knife identified on its dedicated official product page. Engineered with one PCD tipped cutting edge and three solid carbide cutting edges, this 12 x 12 x 1.5mm knife delivers exceptional wear resistance and superior edge retention when cutting abrasive panel materials.
Featuring a 45-degree angle and a 35-degree bevel, the knife is specifically optimized for CNC tooling systems including tool numbers RC-2255, RC-2259, RC-2261, and RC-2263. The combination of diamond technology and solid carbide provides extended tool life, allowing operators to cut thousands of feet more between changes compared to standard carbide tooling.
Sold individually, these replacement insert knives are tailored for demanding production environments processing MDF, chipboard, and engineered wood composites. Ensure proper pocket cleanliness and recommended screw torque during installation.
