Schwanog manufactures custom insertable and solid carbide form tools made to order per customers’ part prints. Applications include grooving, drilling, milling and threading. These tools, which are manufactured in the United States, can reduce cycle times by as much as 40%, according to the company. Tools are ground individually according to customer specifications, and can hold a tolerance of as low as ±0.02 mm. They are designed to offer high quality and machining efficiency in the manufacture of precision parts for industries such as medical, automotive, aerospace and others.
