Solid Tungsten Carbide Rods — Ground & Unground
Solid tungsten carbide rods, h6 ground or unground, for end mills, drills, reamers and punches. Grade options for steel, stainless, cast iron and non-ferrous machining.
Round carbide rod is the starting material for most solid carbide cutting tools. Tool grinders buy it by diameter, length, tolerance and grade — and expect every rod in a batch to behave the same.
Typical applications
- End mills, drills, reamers and burrs
- Punches, pins and ejector pins
- Wear-resistant shafts and plungers
What we supply
- Unground (as-sintered) rods
- Ground rods to the tolerance class you specify (for example h6)
- Cut-to-length rods and chamfered ends
Choosing the grade
For cutting tools, grade choice follows the workpiece: finer-grained grades for hardened steel and high edge strength, general grades for steel and cast iron, and grades suited to non-ferrous materials. Tell us what your customers cut.
Grade data (binder content, grain size, hardness, density, transverse rupture strength) is confirmed in writing for the grade we propose. How we choose grades →

Questions buyers ask
What length do you supply?
330 mm is the common standard length in the industry; cut lengths are available. Tell us the lengths you use.
Can I get a grade equivalent to my current supplier's?
Tell us the grade you use now and what you machine with it. We will propose a grade and send its data sheet so you can compare before ordering.
