CNC Woodworking & Panel Processing Tooling
Prima Tooling designs and manufactures cutting tools for wood, MDF, HDF, chipboard, plywood, laminated panels and other wood-based materials.
Our tooling is manufactured in PCD, tungsten carbide tipped, solid carbide and HSS, with the cutting material and geometry selected to suit the application, machine and production requirements.
From router cutters and compression tooling to edgebanding tools, groovers, spindle tooling and bespoke profiles, we manufacture both standard and customer-specific tooling for woodworking and panel-processing applications.
Explore our full range of CNC router cutters for profiling, grooving, trimming and compression cutting, or contact us to discuss a bespoke requirement.
Why Choose Prima Tooling for Woodworking Tooling?
Cutting-tool performance depends on more than the cutting material alone. Tool geometry, balance, clearance, cutting direction and the machine setup all affect finish quality, tool life and productivity.
Prima Tooling manufactures and services tooling for both high-volume production and specialist applications, including standard and bespoke designs.
Our capabilities include:
- PCD tooling for abrasive panel products and long production runs
- TCT tooling for versatile, serviceable woodworking applications
- Solid carbide tooling for routing, profiling and compression cutting
- CNC router, spindle and edgebanding tooling
- Profile cutters, groovers and combination tooling
- Bespoke tooling manufactured from drawings, samples or existing tools
- Sharpening, retipping and repair
Precision Manufacture and Tool Balance
Tool balance can directly affect surface finish, spindle load, vibration, feed capability and tool life. Our rotary tooling is manufactured and balanced with the intended machining application in mind, helping provide stable and consistent cutting performance.
Steel-bodied tooling is manufactured using high-quality materials and precision grinding processes to maintain accurate cutting geometry and repeatability.
Profile and Bespoke Woodworking Cutters
Where a standard cutter does not suit the component or machining process, Prima Tooling can manufacture profile and bespoke tooling to customer requirements.
Typical applications include:
- Raised panel and door profiling
- Rebating and glazing profiles
- Finger-pull profiles
- Chamfers, radii, ovolo and ogee forms
- Tongue-and-groove and jointing profiles
- Stair-housing and dovetail cutters
- Grooving and biscuit-joint tooling
- Decorative and specialist panel profiles
- Combination tooling designed to complete multiple operations
We can work from a drawing, CAD file, sample component or existing tool.
Sharpening, Retipping and Tool Repair
Many PCD, TCT, carbide and HSS woodworking tools can be serviced rather than replaced.
Prima Tooling provides sharpening, PCD retipping and tool repair for our own tooling and tooling manufactured by other suppliers. Regular servicing can help maintain cutting quality, dimensional accuracy and useful tool life.
Discuss Your Woodworking Tooling Requirement
Whether you need a replacement for an existing cutter, improved tool life, a specialist profile or tooling for a new production process, talk to Prima Tooling about the application.
Send us a drawing, CAD file, sample tool or details of the material and machining operation and we can recommend a suitable solution.
