Carbide Products, Inc., Georgetown, Kentucky, has introduced a more effective approach to grinding complex profiles, helping enable its U.S. customers to compete globally.
The Company is using two new grinders to streamline production of the cutting blades utilized in a broad range of manufacturing applications. Built in Japan by Mitsui High-Tec, the grinders were introduced only last year. Carbide Products is home to two of the first three of these machines installed in any U.S. shop. In fact, the Company helped the builder refine and enhance the software in the PC-based control system to make it more compatible with user expectations in this country.

The shop’s innovative use of CNC surface grinders has been a key enabler in this effort.
