THE INCREASING USE OF PCD AS A CUTTING MEDIUM HAS BEEN PARTICULARLY MARKED IN THE WOODWORKING INDUSTRY, WHERE THERE IS A STRONG DEMAND FOR MULTIPLE-TIPPED ROTARY TOOLS. THIS PAPER DESCRIBES PCD AS A CUTTING TOOL MATERIAL, WITH PARTICULAR EMPHASIS ON THE WEAR BEHAVIOR OF DIFFERENT GRADES REFLECTED IN THE LIFE PERFORMANCE IN WOODWORKING APPLICATIONS, TOOL MANUFACTURE, AND MACHINABILITY BY MECHANICAL GRINDING AND ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE MACHINING. THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SPECIAL PCD GRADE FOR SPECIFIC WOODWORKING TOOL REQUIREMENTS IS DESCRIBED, AND CASE HISTORIES DEMONSTRATE THE LIFE PERFORMANCE OBTAINED ON VARIOUS WOOD COMPOSITES.
