Online Carbide

Carbide cutting tools outperform tools made from other materials. They just work better. Why? It’s simply a matter of chemistry.

Carbide is produced from a blend of equal parts tungsten and carbide, with a bit of cobalt thrown in as a binder. It is also known as ‘cemented carbide’ because this composite material starts out as a powdered, chalk-like substance until it is heated, compressed, and, essentially, ’cemented’ together to achieve its full density.

Carbide is hard. Common hardness values are in the range of 1600HV – that’s somewhere between diamond and sapphire. But in a bizarre contradiction of its core rigidity, carbide has a curious, almost flexible kind of durability. In the technical, scientific sense, carbide is a brittle material. But in practical, mechanical use, it’s incredibly strong. It is deeply resistant to heat, cold, oxidation, corrosion, impact, and friction. These are the kind of harsh conditions that can be produced by industrial machining.

At Online Carbide, we understand and recognize the value of the natural resistance of carbide in manufacturing, fabrication, engineering, and more. That is the reason why we use it, exclusively, to produce our premium tools.

Our carbide cutting tools are tough, durable, and built to last. They can do a variety of cutting jobs in seconds, precisely, with very little wear. They are perfect for cutting a wide range of materials on a variety of machines.

Of course, there are other places to purchase carbide cutting tools. But we’re in the business of making business easier for our customers. The large manufacturers are everywhere, selling their wares at the highest price. We do what they can’t.

When we make our product, we use the same tools, raw materials, and equipment as they do. It’s just that we don’t cost the big bucks. That’s because we’ve opted out of the big guy’s distribution network, to sell direct to the consumer.

This customer friendly practice makes our tools less expensive, but there is never a compromise when it comes to quality. We use premium 10% cobalt micrograin material on our CNC grinders. We don’t resell cutting tools. We manufacturer them with pride and care right here in the United States.
