VT machining provides CNC Swiss Machining Tungsten Carbide for customers who need accurate, repeatable Tungsten Carbide components. The machinability of Tungsten Carbide is machined almost exclusively by grinding and EDM, so we set the operation up specifically for this grade.
CNC Swiss Machining Capability for Tungsten Carbide
- Extreme hardness (HRA 89–94)
- Ground/EDM only
- Wear-resistant
- Tooling & dies
Machining Tungsten Carbide with CNC Swiss Machining
Tungsten Carbide behaves predictably under CNC Swiss Machining once parameters are dialled in: machinability is machined almost exclusively by grinding and EDM, and we tune the operation accordingly.
We hold reference parameters for this grade, so repeat orders of Tungsten Carbide run consistently from one batch to the next.
Design Tips for CNC Swiss Machining Tungsten Carbide
We are happy to suggest design tweaks that improve manufacturability. Consistent diameters, standard thread forms and avoiding extremely long, slender features help Tungsten Carbide turned parts stay concentric and economical. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Why Tungsten Carbide?
Tungsten Carbide is chosen when a part needs what this grade offers — it is extreme hardness for tooling and wear parts. We confirm the grade and any temper or heat-treat condition with you before machining.
CNC Swiss Machining Tolerances & Surface Finish
Turned Tungsten Carbide holds diameter tolerances to about ±0.005 mm with concentricity within 0.01 mm and good roundness. Turned finishes of Ra 0.4–0.8 µm are achievable with finishing passes and sharp tooling.
Final tolerances are governed by the material's behaviour, wall thickness and overall stiffness. We give honest DFM feedback if a callout would be costly or better achieved another way.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Finished Tungsten Carbide parts can move straight into secondary operations under one roof. Typical add-ons are deburring, passivation, anodising, plating, blasting, polishing and laser marking. We coordinate the whole chain so you receive complete, inspection-ready parts.
CNC Swiss Machining Quality & Inspection
We control quality throughout the process, not just at the end. In-process checks plus final inspection — including CMM where specified — keep every Tungsten Carbide part to print. Inspection reports, material certificates and first-article documentation can be supplied on request.
Applications of CNC Swiss Machining Tungsten Carbide
Customers order CNC Swiss Machining Tungsten Carbide components for everything from instrumentation to structural and functional assemblies. Whether you need a single prototype or recurring production volume, the same process discipline applies.

What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Swiss Machining Tungsten Carbide?
CNC Swiss Machining prototypes for Tungsten Carbide can be produced quickly and scaled to series production. Send your drawing and quantity and we will advise lead time and any minimum order.
How clean are the edges produced by CNC Swiss Machining on Tungsten Carbide?
Machined Tungsten Carbide edges are clean and to specification; edge-break or deburring is added when your drawing calls for it.
Why is Tungsten Carbide a good choice for CNC Swiss Machining?
Tungsten Carbide is extreme hardness for tooling and wear parts, which makes it well suited to CNC Swiss Machining. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished Tungsten Carbide turning part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Swiss Machining Tungsten Carbide?
Achievable tolerances for Tungsten Carbide turning depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. Turning holds diameter tolerances to around ±0.005 mm with concentricity within 0.01 mm. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
Does CNC Swiss Machining Tungsten Carbide require dedicated tooling?
Most Tungsten Carbide turning work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
