HIGHLAND CARBIDE SUCCESS STORY (westerntoolco.com)
One success Highland Carbide recently made was to convert a brazed tool to a Toolholder and indexable insert for a company that machines a high volume of forged metal castings. Their customer called to review the tooling and application. They discovered that the tool body could be improved with a better design, and that they could drastically improve strength and tool life by going with a heat treated Tool holder and a coated insert.
The result was a win-win… higher production rates, with a lower overall tooling cost and significantly less downtime. At Highland Carbide, significant improvements have come in designing custom Toolholders for specific applications. They can improve geometries to increase the strength and effectiveness of the tool, and pair it with any insert on the market. To purchase Highland Carbide, call us at 303-422-3413
