What Is Custom Carbide Tooling?

Custom carbide tooling is designed and manufactured for a specific material, machine or application. Unlike standard, off-the-shelf tooling, each tool can be engineered around the dimensions, tolerances and performance requirements of the project.

Carbide is valued for its hardness, wear resistance and ability to maintain a cutting edge under demanding conditions. A properly designed custom tool can improve accuracy, support consistent results and reduce unnecessary steps in the manufacturing process.

NTM manufactures tooling using solid carbide, carbide-tipped and high-speed steel materials. Our capabilities include:

  • Custom cutting tools made to customer specifications
  • Complex tool geometries and tight tolerances
  • Solid carbide, carbide-tipped and high-speed steel tooling
  • Low-volume and high-volume production
  • Tool inspection and quality control
  • A variety of specialized coating options
  • Sharpening and regrinding support

NTM has invested in advanced tool grinding equipment, including four Walter CNC machines, to support accurate and repeatable production.

Our experienced team understands how tool design, material selection and application requirements work together. We’ll review your specifications, ask the right questions and help develop a tool that performs the way you need it to.
