📌 Why Choose EXTRAMET?
Best For: Precision Tool Makers (End Mill/Drill manufacturers) looking to outsource the “roughing” stage to reduce internal cycle times.
- Advanced Blank Preparation: Extramet’s core value lies in delivering materials that are already near-net-shape. By supplying precision-ground Step Blanks and Formed Blanks that match your final tool geometry, they allow tool makers to skip the time-consuming “rough grinding” process. This directly solves the bottleneck of machine capacity and eliminates the costly headache of handling excess carbide sludge/scrap in your own shop.
- Extreme Grinding Precision: Leveraging their specific expertise in Centerless and CNC Cylindrical Grinding, they achieve concentricity tolerances as tight as 0.0002 inches. For buyers in the medical and aerospace sectors, this guarantees that the substrate is perfectly balanced for high-speed rotation tools, reducing vibration and ensuring superior surface finishes on the final workpiece.
- Swiss Precision, American Scale: Headquartered in Latrobe, PA (the heart of the US carbide industry) but founded in Switzerland, Extramet uniquely combines Swiss dimensional rigor with American high-volume manufacturing capacity. Their heavy investment in automated CNC loading systems allows them to handle the entire spectrum of orders, from single R&D prototypes to massive industrial production runs.
