Solid carbide tooling is manufactured using micrograin carbide as standard, ground to a microfinish on state-of-the-art CNC grinding machines, and then surface coated in our Balzers PVD coating plant.
Somta also offers a cost-effective value-add service of regrinding any used carbide (or HSS) tooling, either standard or special form, to original specifications and tolerances.
This enables lower machining costs over the life of the solid carbide tool, with enhanced tool performance.
Coupled to the solid carbide cutting tool regrind service, Somta also offers a recoating service, using its range of high-performance Balzers BALINIT® thin film PVD coatings to further improve the performance of original and reground carbide cutting tools.
