About Carb-I-Tool


Manufacturing Manager, Stephen Hamilton reviews a CAD specification. Carb-I-Tool router bit designs begin here at the factory's CAD design centre. The range has been redesigned to incorporate the latest anti-kickback features, with stability at high rotational speeds and super-sharp carbide tips for smooth and long-lasting use on the hardest materials.
Carb-I-Tool's investment in CNC (computerised numerical controlled) equipment ensures its commitment to world-class manufacturing standards in cutting tool quality.

General Manage Trevor Lowe demonstrates an ANCA TGX. 
Inside the "precise fury" of the ANCA TGX: a bit is ground and polished. The pride of the factory are two Australian-made ANCA TGX 5-axis tool and cutter grinders - some of the most advanced of their kind anywhere in the world.
There is, however, one area of the manufacturing process which remains labour-intensive at Carb-I-Tool. "One of the keys to a quality bit is a perfect braze free of air bubbles to seal the carbide tip to the body", says Trevor Lowe. "Skilled operators are still the best way to ensure that; although as soon as automated brazing technology is proven we will adopt that too".
