CARBIDE TOOLING Transworld Engineering is proud to supply carbide tooling from a variety of manufacturers known throughout Europe and Asia for their expertly designed carbide and steel tooling, to maximise efficiency in manufacturing processes and reduce faulty outputs.
Our toolings are fully compatible with all models of the machines provided by Transworld Engineering and more brands. We supply a full range of reliable precision tools for spring manufacturing, made either in HSS or in tungsten carbide. We also offer servicing and advice too, in order to assure the best working and reliability of the machines.
In Metal cutting, HSS tools have gradually been replaced in many applications; however, they are still widely used in some specific segments such as drills, reamers, taps, form turning tools, gear hobbing and gear shaping cutters, side and face mills, end mills, slab and straddle milling cutters, slitting saws, form milling cutters and broaches
The advantage of HSS over carbide is its strength to withstand cutting forces and the low cost of the tools. From the tool life point of view, HSS performs very well at intermittent cutting applications. But the greatest limitation of HSS is that its usable cutting speed range is far lower when compared to Carbide.
In the vast majority of cutting applications, namely turning, boring, and face milling, Carbide tools and inserts have near-totally taken over HSS tools, and HSS has become virtually extinct in these applications. But that’s not the case with drilling.
