Preformed Carbide Blanks and Extrusions Save Time and Money

May 18, 2012
Whether simply cut-to-length or machined into complex shapes, H.B. Carbide's high quality tungsten carbide, made-to-print preforms and extrusions have minimal grind stock, reducing the amount of time and energy needed to produce finished tools and wear parts. Choices include: rods, rectangles or squares, coolant holes, straight or angled cross holes, stepped diameters, centers (male or female), flats, chamfers, keyways, complex shapes and preformed sharpening angles.
