#26 The Secrets of Making Custom Carbide Tools!

What really goes into making a custom carbide cutting tool and why do so many decisions that look perfect on paper fall apart on the machine? In this episode of Chips and Tips, Justin from Toolpath sits down with Dave Stanbach of Carbide Cutting Tools for a practical conversation about carbide tooling in the real world. They talk about why scrap carbide prices are rising, how custom tools are quoted and tested, and why a simple sketch can sometimes work better than a fully detailed CAD model. Dave shares insights on flute counts, helix versus shear geometry, edge prep, coatings, and why features like wipers often don’t deliver the finish you expect. They also cover thread mills, roughers versus finishers, chip management, and how coatings affect tool life and cutting noise more than most shops realize. If you run CNC machines, order custom tools, or want to understand what really makes a tool perform, this episode delivers clear answers with no marketing fluff.
