Pdc Cutter Price depends on the exact cutter model, geometry, size, diamond-layer configuration, quantity, quality requirements, and delivery terms. The page compares flat, cutting-edge shaped, and triangular shaped drilling cutters for oil and gas, water-well, coal-mining, directional-drilling, hard-formation, and tunnel applications, with quote inputs tied to the drawing and duty.
A comparable quote uses the exact model, quantity, duty, and delivery destination.
A drilling-use PDC cutter is normally quoted per piece against an exact model, drawing, or approved specification. A complete PDC bit price, a marketplace listing, and a PDC machining tool price are different commercial objects, so they should not be compared as a cutter unit price.
The quote basis changes with diameter, total height, diamond-layer height, working-face geometry, diamond and carbide chamfers, material or performance grade, inspection requirements, quantity, packaging, currency, Incoterms, and delivery timing. Standard geometry with an established process is usually easier to price than a low-volume custom profile, but the exact difference still depends on the frozen specification.
A comparable quote should identify the model or drawing, price per piece or per lot, quantity tier, currency, included inspection documents, delivery basis, quote validity, and any sample or engineering charge. That information gives the buyer a usable price decision without treating an unsupported public number as a manufacturer price.
Flat PDC cutters. The flat working face supports a more uniform force distribution for oil and gas, water-well, and coal-mining applications. The Flat PDC Cutter range covers primary and gauge placement and OGF size families from 8.00 mm (0.315 in) to 19.05 mm (0.750 in), with common heights of 8.00 mm (0.315 in) and 13.20 mm (0.520 in). This geometry is a starting point when the bit design calls for a conventional primary or gauge cutter.
Cutting-edge shaped PDC cutters. The inclined outer contour creates a sharper directional cutting edge. This geometry fits directional drilling and shale gas development, with primary-cutter placement and OGGD size families from 13.44 mm (0.529 in) to 19.05 mm (0.750 in). It is a candidate when trajectory control, lower torque behavior, and rock engagement are part of the design objective.
Triangular shaped PDC cutters. Three inclined surfaces distribute changing impact loads through a different profile. This range serves hard-formation drilling and tunnel construction, with primary-cutter placement and OGTS sizes of 13.44 mm (0.529 in), 15.88 mm (0.625 in), and 19.05 mm (0.750 in). The geometry is a starting option for variable or impact-prone rock, subject to the bit layout and field duty.
Final selection considers formation or material, abrasiveness, impact and vibration, temperature and cooling, cutter position, exposure, bit design, and the required validation method. Shape alone cannot establish final performance or final price.
A complete request identifies the product family, model or drawing, diameter, total height, diamond-layer height, diamond-end chamfer, carbide-end chamfer, interface, and intended primary or gauge position. For an existing bit, the request also includes the bit diameter, blade or cutter layout, installation method, and any failed-cutter photos or measurements.
The duty description identifies formation or material, abrasiveness, impact or vibration, expected load, temperature or cooling limit, target drilling result, and whether the priority is wear life, penetration, trajectory control, or fewer replacements. A required quality document includes the inspection items and acceptance method before quotation.
Sample and production quantities are stated separately, together with destination, currency, Incoterms, packaging, carrier, and required date. Normal production reference is 7–15 days, subject to model, shape, quantity, and customization. Samples and customized geometries are confirmed against the technical review and production plan.
The quote form accepts a sample or production request. A drawing or a concise description of the cutter duty, quantity, and required date gives the engineering review a defined product scope.
PDC cutters are drilling components that combine a polycrystalline diamond working layer with a tungsten carbide substrate. Flat and shaped versions use different contact and load paths, so the product family, size, geometry, and intended cutter position should be fixed before comparing price.
Uniform-force flat working face for conventional primary and gauge cutter layouts.
Inclined cutting edge for directional drilling, shale gas development, and trajectory control.
Three-surface profile for impact-prone hard formations and tunnel construction duties.
A comparable PDC cutter price includes the exact model, quantity, inspection scope, and delivery terms.
Quote per piece or small lot after model and duty review; sample availability, charge, and approval route are confirmed before order.
Price basis: per piece at the specified model and quantity; production and inspection timing are confirmed after technical freeze.
Quantity breaks, repeat-order basis, inspection scope, and replenishment plan are confirmed against the approved specification.
Normal production reference; actual time varies with model, shape, quantity, customization, and approval timing.
Supports overseas shipment through DHL, FedEx, or SF; destination, export documents, freight, insurance, and Incoterms are confirmed in the quote.
Commercial invoice, packing list, and agreed inspection or traceability documents can be confirmed with the order.
A drawing, the required quantity, and the working duty help when the standard product pages do not fully describe the requirement. The engineering review uses the model, dimensions, cutter position, formation, and delivery target to establish a comparable quote basis.
The answers below define a comparable specification before a PDC cutter price is requested.
PDC cutter price is normally determined by the exact model or drawing, diameter, height, diamond-layer configuration, geometry and chamfers, performance grade, quantity, inspection scope, packaging, currency, Incoterms, and delivery timing.
Flat, cutting-edge shaped, and triangular shaped cutters are compared against the drilling duty. Flat cutters cover conventional primary or gauge positions; cutting-edge shaped cutters target directional drilling and shale gas development; triangular shaped cutters are listed for hard-formation drilling and tunnel construction. Final fit still depends on the bit layout and field conditions.
Normal production reference is 7–15 working days, subject to model, shape, quantity, customization, and approval timing. Sample availability, charge, quantity, and approval route are confirmed in the quote.
Yes. A review starts with the model or drawing, cutter position, duty, quantity, and required date. Engineering can assess geometry, dimensions, chamfers, and application fit before a sample or production quotation is confirmed.
A complete quote states the quantity, currency, destination, Incoterms, packaging, carrier preference, inspection or traceability documents, and required date. Commercial invoice, packing list, and agreed inspection documents can be confirmed with the order.
A comparable quote uses the exact cutter model or drawing, duty, quantity, and delivery destination to establish a PDC cutter price basis.
