Zund announces two PCD diamond polishing bits for acrylic sheets

Zund has introduced a new pair of diamond bits for acrylics, which have a polycrystalline diamond cutting edge (PCD). The newly launched P201 and P201-A polishing bits are high-tech manufactured diamond materials that have become indispensable in many industrial finishing applications. The PCD bit is suitable for polishing any kind of routed edges and grooves. It features a particularly long, 16mm cutting edge, which allows for efficient and economical polishing – even thick materials in one pass. The tools eliminate any bothersome ridges that may occur when multiple passes are necessary for polishing the entire edge.

Compared to the monocrystalline (MCD) diamond bit, the new Zünd PCD bits have a cutting edge treated with laser, which makes it extremely sharp. This helps minimise differences in polishing results, which are further offset with the PCD’s lower cost and longer cutting edge. The PCD cutting edges offer similar hardness and wear resistance to those of MCD bits and close to the same polishing quality. With a diameter of 5.5mm, PCD bits can safely be used for polishing grooves upwards of 6mm wide.
