Capabilities
Green Machining Innovations
Quality Carbide delivers cost-effectiveness with our innovative green machining techniques. These innovations not only significantly reduce tooling costs but also often slash them to a fraction of pressed-tooling expenses or eliminate them entirely.
Achieving consistency from order to order is our priority and the added advantage of future adjustments incurring no extra cost sets us apart. Our green machining capabilities offer standard grinding stock with the flexibility to hold dimensions even closer upon request.
Our green-machining facility excels in various operations, creating intricate features like flutes, serrations, swirls, and countersink holes. Notably, rough-molded features are machined at a fraction of the cost compared to traditional methods like hard-grinding or EDM wiring, showcasing our unwavering commitment to expedient and efficient carbide tooling manufacturing.
