Tooling expertise that starts with the application
Stable cutting starts with the right geometry. Northforge helps machining teams match tool geometry, carbide grade and coating to the material, machine and cutting conditions behind each application.
Turning performance
Choose insert geometry, nose radius, edge preparation and grade around roughing, finishing, threading, grooving and parting operations. Chip control and edge strength should match the depth of cut, feed and workholding stability.
Milling control
Solid carbide and indexable cutters are selected by diameter, flute count, helix, engagement and rigidity. Use open chip space for deep slotting and stable geometries for shoulders, pockets and high-feed work.
Drilling accuracy
Holemaking tools are selected by diameter, depth, point geometry and coolant delivery. Stable entry, controlled chip evacuation and correct cutting data protect hole quality and tool life.
