Too often machine shop owners are left with a difficult choice. Overpay for American made end mills that will last or save by importing unreliable end mills from overseas. At Online Carbide, we are offering a third option: buy your end mills from an American Solid Carbide End Mills Manufacturer at a great price. We believe that you shouldn’t have to deal with low-quality end mills just to keep your budget in line.

Online Carbide is a manufacturer of high-quality end mills and drill bits with facilities in CA, IL and SC. We are proud to offer our amazing mills to our customers at manufacturer-direct prices. Many of the big-name brands have to deal with middlemen in order to offer their products in stores. When you shop with us online, you don’t have to deal with these markups. We make all of our carbide cutting tools using the same high-quality carbide stock and five-axis robot fed CNC grinders as other leaders in the end mills industry.

The materials used to craft cutting tools make a huge difference in terms of quality. When operating at high speeds, metal tools will oscillate and can damage your workpieces. They will also heat and dull quickly, especially when being used on harder materials. Carbide, despite looking purely metallic, is actually a combination of cobalt metal and powdered ceramic tungsten carbide. This cemented material is truly greater than the sum of its parts. Carbide is stable at high speeds, holds its edge, and is incredibly strong.

We use our high-quality carbide to create a variety of high-performance carbide tools. Our inventory is constantly expanding to include more end mills to perform the jobs you need. We currently offer full form thread mills, single pitch thread mills, standard square end mills, standard ball end mills, variable end mills, end mills for Aluminum, 6 flute end mills, chamfer mills, drill mills, center drills, spot drills, stub drills, and jobber drills. If you need cutting tools that we don’t carry, or you need a custom tool made for your business, feel free to contact us.

To protect our end mills and increase their working life, we offer a few coatings on our tools. We offer the following coatings on select tools:

● Bright - Our bright finish is simply a bright polish to our solid carbide tools. While this may seem entirely aesthetic, the smoothly polished finished helps assist in chip evacuation.

● TiAlN - Titanium aluminum nitride is a coating designed to protect tools from the fatigue of high operating temperatures.

● ZrN - This smooth golden ceramic coating on our end mills for Al helps to evacuate the fine chips from Al to prevent caking at the base of the end mills.
