Product Description
The SC012045 PDC Square Cutter is a low-profile Polycrystalline Diamond Compact cutting element featuring a 12.00 mm diameter, 4.50 mm total height, and 1.5–2.0 mm diamond height. Its compact square configuration offers an alternative to taller PDC cutters for oil drilling tools and specialized drill bit designs requiring reduced cutter height.
The SC012045 PDC Square Cutter is a specialized Polycrystalline Diamond Compact cutting element developed for oil drilling tools requiring a square cutter with a reduced overall height.
Featuring a 12.00 mm diameter and 4.50 mm total height, SC012045 provides a compact, low-profile configuration within the PDC Square Cutter series.
Compared with the SC012080 model, which has the same 12.00 mm diameter but an 8.00 mm total height, SC012045 reduces the overall cutter height while maintaining the same nominal diameter class.
This dimensional difference makes SC012045 an option for drilling tool designs where cutter height, installation depth, and available mounting space are important considerations.
The cutter features a 1.5–2.0 mm polycrystalline diamond layer supported by a tungsten carbide substrate. The diamond layer forms the wear-resistant cutting surface, while the carbide substrate provides mechanical support.
Its square cutting geometry distinguishes it from conventional round PDC cutters and provides an alternative shape for specialized cutting element arrangements.
SC series
The SC series PDC Parabolic Cutters are available in various dimensions to meet different bit designs and rock cutting requirements. Standard models are listed below.
Model No. | Diameter (mm) | Total Height (mm) | Diamond Height (mm) |
SC094080 | 9.40 | 8.00 | 1.5~2.0 |
SC012080 | 12.00 | 8.00 | 1.5~2.0 |
SC012045 | 12.00 | 4.50 | 1.5~2.0 |
Note: Custom heights and chamfer angles are available for OEM orders. | |||

Performance Advantages
Low-Profile 4.5mm Configuration - The main distinguishing feature of SC012045 is its 4.50 mm total height. This shorter configuration provides a dimensional alternative for drill bit manufacturers designing cutting structures with limited installation height or specific mounting requirements.
12mm Square Cutting Geometry - SC012045 maintains a 12.00 mm nominal diameter while incorporating a square cutting profile. The non-round geometry provides an alternative to conventional cylindrical PDC cutting elements for specialized drilling tool designs.
Reduced Cutter Height Compared with SC012080 - SC012045 is 3.50 mm shorter than SC012080 while maintaining the same nominal diameter and diamond height range. This allows customers to select between two different body heights within the 12 mm PDC Square Cutter series.
Wear-Resistant Diamond Cutting Layer - The 1.5–2.0 mm diamond height forms the active cutting section of the PDC composite. Polycrystalline diamond provides the hard working surface required for abrasive formation-cutting applications.
Tungsten Carbide Support Structure - The tungsten carbide substrate provides structural support beneath the diamond layer and supports the cutter during integration into drilling tools.
PDC Square Cutter Technology
The SC012045 combines a specialized square cutting profile with a low-height PDC composite structure.
Polycrystalline Diamond Compact cutters consist of a diamond cutting layer bonded to a tungsten carbide substrate using high-pressure and high-temperature manufacturing technology.
The diamond layer provides the cutting surface, while the carbide substrate forms the supporting body.
Unlike standard cylindrical PDC cutters, SC012045 uses a square geometry intended for drilling tools requiring a non-round cutting element.
Its 12.00 mm diameter and 4.50 mm total height provide a shorter overall structure than SC012080, allowing drill bit designers to consider different mounting depths and cutter arrangements.
The appropriate cutter selection depends on the drill bit structure, mounting geometry, formation characteristics, and operating conditions.
