Diamond is known as a material with impressive characteristics. Even the name, Diamond, which stems from the ancient Greek word  “αδάμας” – “adámas,” translates to unbreakable. In particular diamond is the hardest mineral known and also has the highest thermal conductivity. These two traits, in addition to its abrasion-resistance…..

Deep Pocket (Lock Mortise) Bit Our insert deep pocket mortise bit is made of a special high quality steel grade to route deep lock mortise cut-outs without the tool experiencing any tool deflection.  Excellent for door hardware and other deep pocket cut applications. This tool uses two offset chipbreaker insert knives that have a 16mm […]

Looking for ETS Style Collets for Your CMS Machine? ETS Style collets for CMS routers are becoming more difficult to find and are very expensive to buy.  We have BT30 and BT35 tool holders for both machine brands that take standard ER collets….a much lower cost collet to replace. These tool holders come with a […]

Disposable Inserts Help Reduce Machine Downtime Disposable inserts can reduce grinding costs and minimize machining downtime. The evolution of cutting tools has progressed from being quite labor-intense to heavily relying on machines and automated processes. With these efficiencies, it is now more important than ever to keep down set-up times and adjustment times in order to minimize […]

PCD Diamond Router Bits: Engineered for Performance and Cost Savings PCD (polycrystalline diamond) router bits are a premium tooling solution for high-volume production environments and abrasive materials. Designed for exceptional wear resistance, these tools can offer dramatic cost savings and consistently high-quality cuts in the right application — particularly when cutting wood-based composites, laminated panels, […]

The Drill on Drill Bits! While metric dimension drill bits all look quite similar to the untrained eye, there are differences in style, design and material quality that have a clear impact on tool performance, cost and your bottom line. About 20 years ago, carbide-tipped drill bits, previously manufactured for the most part in Germany […]

Increase Productivity with Insert Compression Router Tooling When purchasing tooling for CNC routers the most common choice, especially for nested operations, is solid carbide router bits. Because of the overwhelming options, particularly in small diameters, number of flutes and improved feed speeds, solid carbide is a safe and popular choice. When it comes to machining thicker […]

Up vs Down Shear Router Bits Ever wondered what the difference is between up and down shear router bits? To the untrained eye, telling the difference between these bits can be difficult if you see them sitting side by side; however, once you see them rotating, the difference becomes clear. The major differences between up […]
