Star Cutter Company offers a comprehensive line of PCD tooling engineered for superior performance across a wide range of non ferrous materials, aluminum, magnesium, copper, brass, wood, graphite, fiberglass, and beyond. Customers can choose from both stick tool and monoblock designs to meet their specific application needs.
Featuring a one piece steel or carbide body assembled in the holder, these monoblock tools are ground true to the holder interface datums for maximum precision.
PCD drills from Star/Neher increase part quality with overall consistency, improve surface finish and can reduce tool changes, resulting in an extended tool life.
Our multi-fluted, fixed pocket PCD precision reamer technology has proven to produce excellent part requirements for bore roundness, surface finish and size control. These PCD Precision Reamers are available with multiple step diameters to ensure optimum concentricity and straightness between machined diameters.
Our custom designed PCD milling cutters are available with either an adaptor or in monoblock styles with standard and increased pitch options. As compared to indexable cartridge cutters, these PCD tools result in improvements to surface finish in normal and interrupted conditions and reductions in cycle time. Using a fixed cutter also does not require tool setups for installing cartridges that in some cases can come loose in the application resulting in scrap and downtime. Another advantage of a fixed PCD Milling Cutter is very consistent cutting lip heights. Special geometries and PCD are used to optimize all silicon conditions, minimizing burrs, and surface finish improvements.

The special-design PCD pocket mill combines the need for face milling and side wall machining all in one tool. Depending on the application, this tool can be designed to reduce the number of PCD inserts needed along the body of the tool to reduce the cost and maintain a defined pitch on the face mill.
Our PCD combination tools are custom-designed for quality improvements and reduction in overall part cycle times. This is accomplished by evaluating combinations of cutting tool features that incorporate drilling, thread milling, spot facing, interpolation and reaming multiple diameters into one tool. Options are available for designing a single tool that can machine multiple part features on one tool. This approach achieves quality improvements and overall cycle reductions by eliminating the number of tools needed to machine a part and tool change reductions.
PCD interpolation tools combine operations into one tool that is capable of milling, interpolating multiple diameters, spot-facing and machining internal forms, reducing cycle times and cost per hole. PCD interpolation tools offer users the ability to:
Star Cutter Company has developed into a world leader in the cutting tool industry. Each of our six manufacturing facilities specializes in producing a specific type of product or service: solid carbide cutting tools, carbide blanks and preforms, gundrills, gear cutting tools, and 5-axis CNC tool and cutter grinding machines.
