Location: Lincolnwood, a suburb on the north side of Chicago.
With over 45 years of experience, General Cutting Tools has been at the forefront of cutting tool technology. Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn:
- High-Speed Router Bits: Discover the early days of cutting tools made entirely from high-speed tool steel. While effective, they had a limited lifespan.
- Carbide-Tipped Tools: Learn about the game-changing introduction of carbide-tipped tools, which offered significantly better tool life—up to four times longer than their predecessors. This innovation reduced downtime and increased productivity.
- Diamond-Tipped Tools: Enter the next generation with PCD diamond-tipped tools. These cutting-edge tools offer up to 30 times the lifespan of carbide-tipped tools, making them a cost-effective and efficient choice for any workshop.
Jeff explains the remarkable cost-effectiveness of these advancements. For example, while a carbide-tipped bit costs around $20, a diamond-tipped bit, with its vastly superior lifespan, costs about $300—saving you money in the long run.
