Product overview
China Manufacturer High Precision Carbide Rod For Cutting Tools
Our factory-direct tungsten carbide rods are manufactured from 100% virgin raw materials, ensuring consistent quality, exceptional wear resistance, and superior bending strength for demanding machining applications. Available in both unground and precision-ground finishes, these rods can be customized to your exact specifications with tight tolerance control down to h7, h6, or h5 for high-precision tool making. The ground and polished surface delivers excellent surface finish and dimensional accuracy, while chamfered edges facilitate smoother handling and installation during tool fabrication.
Typical applications include:
Tungsten carbide end mills, drills, reamers, taps, engraving knives, PCB special cutters, automotive special cutters, engine and watch processing cutters, as well as precision cutting tools requiring high surface finish and tight tolerances.

Faq
They are made of tungsten carbide powder mixed with a binder metal, usually cobalt. This gives them high hardness, wear resistance, and strength.
They are mainly used to make cutting tools, drills, end mills, reamers, and wear parts. They are also used in punches, dies, and other precision tooling applications.
We offer solid round rods, rods with coolant holes, and various lengths and diameters. Custom sizes can be produced according to your requirements.
No. We do not offer free samples. Samples can be provided at cost, and shipping fees are paid by the customer.
Lead time is usually 7–24 days depending on the order quantity. MOQ varies by size and specification. Please contact us for details.
