The Foundation of a Great Tool
Every high-performance drill, end mill, or reamer starts with a flawless blank. At Extramet Products, we don’t just sell carbide; we provide the precision foundation that toolmakers trust.
Whether you run a small custom shop or a global manufacturing operation, our tungsten carbide blanks are engineered to make your job easier—offering consistent quality that lets you focus on the geometry, not the raw material.
Precision in Action
Why Toolmakers Choose Extramet Blanks
It’s about saving you time. We know that the quality of the blank dictates the reliability of the finished tool. If the blank is out of tolerance, you waste time correcting it.
We maintain tolerances as tight as ±0.0001″ through advanced CNC cylindrical and centerless grinding. Our blanks are designed with minimal grinding excess, meaning you spend less time removing material and more time adding value.
Whether you need standard tungsten carbide rotary cutting tool blanks or complex custom geometries, we deliver edge stability and surface finishes that set the industry standard.
