I want to make a custom tungsten carbide cutting tool for one of my wood
working machines (I have a diamond cutting tool for the job.). I need a
tungsten carbide blank rod that is .235" in width. (or near it. I can size
it down)

My problem is, I can't seem to find a dealer that sells tungsten carbide
blank rods in small quanities. I only need a few.

I did find a dealer that sold carbide rods that might work, but I don't know
if it's the same thing as a tungsten carbide rod.

Any suggests on a dealer that would sell me a few blank rods?

If you want round carbide drill blanks, then MSC corp has them.

Your post was a bit unclear about the exact geometry of the
desired item.

Hey Kori, I have a box of Kennametal solid carbide rods at home, I think
they are 1/4" by about 3" long. You can have some for the price of shipping.

Sounds good to me. Email me at and tell me shipping
cost and where to send payment. Put Tungsten Carbide in Subject line, so I
don't delete accidently with junk mail.

What is the difference between the a rod blank listed as carbide and one
listed tungsten carbide? Do this both have tungsten, are they the same in
hardness?
