Wood composite materials with resins used as the material binder can be extremely hard on cutting tools because of the abrasion from the wood material and galling, or material build-up, caused by the resin. DiaTiger® Diamond is extremely hard, protecting the tool from abrasive wear. There will be no material build-up forming on the tool’s surface because diamond will not react with anything in the wood composite.
