PCD Tool
Refurbishment

PCD (polycrystalline diamond) tools are known for their durability and resistance to abrasive materials, but they will still need replacing or refurbing from time to time. Our PCD refurbishment program is here to extend that life, using economical methods that restore the tool to its original performance standards.
