Our vision is to make the name SFS Carbide Tool Co. synonymous with the phrase easy to do business with making us a
leader in manufacturing "application specific" solid carbide cutting tools since
1921. We worked side by side with the world's leading flatbed plotter manufacturers to
develop this unique series of vinyl cutter knife blades. For for high speed machining of
hardened metals or when you need only the best cutting tools, think of one name: SFS
Carbide Tool Company.

Tungsten carbide PCB tools are smaller now than ever before, and seem to
be getting smaller every year. To meet this challenge, SFS Carbide cutting tools are
fabricated exclusively from the advanced tungsten carbide composites developed and
supplied by domestic and foreign suppliers. Ultra-fine grain cemented ceramics are the
result of an extensive development program aimed at optimizing the very best of cemented
carbide technology to achieve an exceptional combination of hardness, toughness, and
strength for demanding cutting jobs. These extraordinary properties have been achieved by
producing tungsten carbide with a grain size of only 0.4 micron. We select grades of
carbide to accommodate the application at hand from precision dental drills to industrial
reamers. Generally speaking, the need for reliable small hole drilling and the
accompanying demand for extended tool life has necessitated the use of the finest grades
of carbide currently available. The bulk of our tools are fabricated from 8UF (with 8%
cobalt) and 6UF (with 6% cobalt) which are recommended for solid carbide rotary tool
applications in the ISO K01/K0 and K01/K5 ranges where high cutting speeds are routinely
encountered.
All of our drill bits, reamers, routers and cutting tools are produced on Rollamatic
multi-axis CNC grinding machines and are fully inspected using the latest laser and/or
optical metrology techniques. Drill diameters are held to +0.0000"/-0.0004", end
mill and router diameters to +0.000"/-0.001", overall tool lengths to
0.005", and depth set ring locations to 0.004". Tighter tolerances and custom
geometries are available upon request as no job is too large or small for our tool making
specialists.

Factoid: CNC controllers are
devices that control machines and processes. They range in capability from simple
point-to-point linear control to highly complex algorithms that involve multiple axes
of control. CNC controllers can be used to control various types of machine shop
equipment. These include horizontal mills, vertical mills, lathes and turning
centers, grinders, electro discharge machines (EDM), welding machines, and inspection
machines. The number of axes controlled by CNC controllers can range anywhere from
one to five, with some CNC controllers configured to control greater than six axes. Visit
