Solid Carbide Tooling

Somta's 50 year history of producing high quality High Speed Steel (HSS) cutting tools, coupled with an investment in a state-of-the-art Balzers thin film coating plant means Somta world-class quality HSS coated cutting tool capabilities.

Now introducing Somta's next-generation tooling range ... Somta Solid Carbide Cutting Tools - a comprehensive family of tungsten carbide stub and jobber length drills, 2 flute and multiflute end mills and ball nose end mils, in both regular and long series, and almost any special form carbide tooling.

This Somta carbide tooling range is manufactured from high grade micrograin tungsten carbide, with a physical vapour deposition (PVD) TiAIN coated and uncoated version as standard. A TiN coated option is available on request. For extremely high operating speeds, Balzers innovative XTREME coating is available for optimizing specialized applications.

This ultra high performance range of tooling is most suited to CNC applications, particularly when machining hard and abrasive materials, or when used on softer materials like fibreglass, brass and plastics.

The combination of solid tungsten carbide substrate with thin film PVD surface coatings, gives significant benifits with vastly improved cycle times on a broad range of work materials. Somta solid carbide tooling guarantees higher feed rates, superior surface finish and longer tool life, with the added value of local regrinding and recoating services.
