Celebrating a Century of Solutions That Work as Hard as You Do
You don’t need to change your tooling strategy to start a conversation. Exactaform offers an application review designed to provide practical, engineering-led guidance, whether you’re assessing WIDIA carbide tooling or reviewing a broader machining process involving carbide, PCD, Diamond Cut tools, Carbon Split Dies, or mixed tooling environments.
We’ll ask you to provide details of your current operation, material, or challenge. This may include CNC milling, threading tools, indexable milling inserts, solid tooling constraints, or specific metal cutting requirements related to tool life, stability, or cycle time.
An Exactaform application engineer will review the information provided, assess tool suitability, and evaluate machining conditions. This may include reviewing coated grades, cutting tool technologies, precision tooling systems, or alternative approaches within your cutting tool programme.
You’ll receive practical guidance on suitable WIDIA carbide options, feed and speed considerations, opportunities to improve stability or tool life, and advice across carbide, PCD, or custom solutions programs where relevant.
