Metal Cutting
Cemented carbide for turning, drilling, machining, sawing, threading and gear manufacturing. We supply the blank; you grind the tool.
Industry Pain Points
- Blank diameter drifting between batches, forcing a fresh grinder setup every delivery.
- Too much grinding stock, which burns wheel life and machine hours.
- Coolant holes breaking through the flute during grinding.
- Odd diameters with long lead times because nobody stocks them.
What Buyers In This Sector Ask For
- Consistent grade properties rod after rod.
- Minimal grindstock on high-performance tool blanks.
- Coolant channel geometry published, including eccentricity.
- Blanket order options so repeat sizes are called off against one price.
Typical Application Scenarios
End Mills
Blanks with a chamfer, polished finish and fixed length, in GW40U and GW45U for hard materials.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you supply finished cutting tools?
We concentrate on blanks and preforms. Finished profiles are made to drawing where the geometry is defined, for example gun drills.
What is minimal grindstock?
It means the blank arrives close enough to finished size that you remove less material. It is part of what we offer on high-performance tool blanks.
Can we place a blanket order?
Yes. Blanket order options are available, which suits repeat sizes called off through the year.
Which grade for stainless and titanium?
GW40U and GW45U. Both are recommended for hard-to-machine steels, stainless steel, titanium alloy and die steel below 60 HRC.
