Think & Tinker, Ltd.
Precision Carbide Cutting Tools

our goal	In 1991, Think & Tinker began the process of forming strategic partnerships with the top rated solid carbide cutter manufacturers in the United States. Our stated goal was to offer a complete line of affordable, high quality 1/8 in. and 3mm carbide drills, routers, end-mills and countersinks to the entire printed circuit industry, from high-volume manufacturing houses to small, quick-turn prototyping shops. This goal has largely been accomplished with our aggressive pricing, comprehensive in-house inventory and quick-turn supply capabilities.
the best materials	Tungsten carbide PCB tools are smaller now than ever before, and seem to be getting smaller every year. To meet this challenge, Think & Tinker cutting tools are fabricated exclusively from the advanced tungsten carbide composites developed and supplied by Sandvik Hard Materials. Sandvik ultra-fine grain cemented ceramics are the result of an extensive development program aimed at optimizing the very best of cemented carbide technology to achieve an exceptional combination of hardness, toughness, and strength. These extraordinary properties have been achieved by producing tungsten carbide with a grain size of only 0.4 micron, an advance pioneered by Sandvik at its laboratories in Sweden. Sandvik is ISO-9000 registered.
attention to details	Think & Tinker selects grades of carbide to accommodate the application at hand. Generally speaking, the need for reliable small hole drilling and the accompanying demand for extended tool life has necessitated the use of the finest grades of carbide currently available. The bulk of our tools are fabricated from 8UF (with 8% cobalt) and 6UF (with 6% cobalt) which are recommended for solid carbide rotary tool applications in the ISO K01/K0 and K01/K5 ranges where high cutting speeds are routinely encountered. All of our bits are produced by America's finest tool bit manufacturers on Rollamatic multi-axis CNC grinding machines and are fully inspected using the latest laser and/or optical metrology techniques. Drill diameters are held to +0.0000"/-0.0004", end mill and router diameters to +0.000"/-0.001", overall tool lengths to 0.005", and depth set ring locations to 0.004". Tighter tolerances and custom geometries are available upon request.
quality you can trust	This combination of the best materials, top rated manufacturers, and state-of-the-art manufacturing and inspection processes makes Think & Tinker solid carbide cutting tools some of the best tools that money can buy.
