Metal Removal Cutting Tool Philosophy

Metal Removal has made a commitment to be the world leader as a manufacturer of superior carbide cutting tools. This commitment revolves around three fundamental principles:

Quality -  Metal Removal's quality begins with the selection of raw material.  Metal Removal is one of a few solid carbide cutting tool lines that manufactures its own raw material, providing complete control over product quality.  From initial powder processing, through precision CNC grinding methods, and all the way through final inspection of the finished product, Metal Removal utilizes state-of-the-art equipment and methods to insure you get the highest quality product available.

Performance - As a manufacturer of our own raw material, we are on the cutting edge of carbide technology.  This enables us to develop new grade formulations for our standard products as well as development of specific grades for special applications.  We have our own in-house machinability laboratory used for continual monitoring of our products' performance, in addition to evaluation and development of new and improved cutting tool designs and materials.

Service - Our extensive field sales support is provided to help you with assistance on your tooling requirements. We also have a technical service department at our home office that is yours to utilize for consultation on your specific tooling applications or questions.

Our commitment is reflected in our catalog.  We have one of the most extensive lines of solid carbide tooling in the business. With Metal Removal you have a wide choice of tool designs. Our continuing goal is to provide you with the best tool for the job at hand.
