PCD Asphalt Road Milling Bits
Next-Generation PCD Road Milling Picks for Asphalt Reclamation and Surface Rehabilitation
The SWPCD/20 Polycrystalline Diamond Compact (PCD) Road Milling Bit represents the cutting-edge in asphalt milling technology, designed for superior durability, speed, and cost-efficiency.
Engineered for compatibility with Wirtgen, Dynapac, CAT, Kennametal, and Sandvik milling machines, these PCD-tipped conical picks outperform conventional tungsten carbide bits — offering up to 30× longer life and 20% higher milling efficiency.
Perfect for asphalt pavement removal, surface leveling, and road rehabilitation, the SWPCD/20 ensures consistent cutting depth, reduced downtime, and smooth surface finishes across demanding roadwork applications.
⚙️ Key Features & Performance Advantages
| Feature | Description & Contractor Benefit |
|---|---|
| Advanced PCD Cutting Tip | Each bit features a polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) cap-shaped tip that delivers extreme hardness and wear resistance, maintaining sharpness for a longer period than tungsten carbide. |
| 30× Longer Service Life | PCD tips last up to 30 times longer than tungsten carbide picks when used for asphalt milling, significantly reducing bit replacement frequency and maintenance costs. |
| 20% Higher Milling Efficiency | Achieves faster surface removal and improved material breakage, resulting in higher productivity on large-scale milling projects. |
| Tapered Conical Design | Provides strong impact force and efficient ground penetration, ensuring uniform cutting and improved stability under high loads. |
| Reinforced Tungsten Carbide Substrate | Enhances impact resistance and prevents “spalling” during high-speed milling, extending toolholder and drum life. |

🔥 Hot Searching FAQ – PCD Road Milling Bits
Q1: What are PCD road milling bits?
PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond Compact) road milling bits are high-performance conical picks used in asphalt and concrete milling. They feature a diamond-tipped cutting surface for superior hardness, long life, and efficient surface removal.
Q2: What’s the difference between PCD and tungsten carbide milling bits?
PCD milling bits are up to 30 times more durable than tungsten carbide bits and offer 20% faster milling speed. They maintain cutting sharpness longer and reduce bit replacement frequency, making them ideal for high-volume road rehabilitation.
Q3: Which machines are compatible with SWPCD/20 milling bits?
The SWPCD/20 fits Wirtgen, Dynapac, CAT (Caterpillar), Kennametal, and Sandvik milling machines — suitable for both compact and large cold planers.
Q4: What applications are PCD asphalt bits best for?
They are ideal for asphalt pavement removal, surface leveling, road rehabilitation, and airport runway milling — especially where long service life and high productivity are critical.
Q5: How does a PCD tip improve milling performance?
The diamond structure provides maximum hardness, reducing wear and maintaining edge sharpness under extreme pressure and heat — resulting in faster, cleaner milling and lower cost per mile.
Q6: Can PCD milling bits be customized?
✅ Yes — PCD size, shank dimensions, and extractor groove options can be customized according to your milling machine and application needs.
