Custom Tungsten Carbide Tooling

At Bullseye Precision, we don't just machine parts; we engineer reliability. Operating under strict ISO 9001:2015 certified processes, we offer a comprehensive range of high-quality tungsten carbide tooling tailored for the most demanding industrial applications. From standard wear parts to highly complex custom geometries, our precision grinding capabilities ensure superior performance, extended tool life, and a significant reduction in costly production downtime.
Whether you need a single custom prototype or a high-volume tooling run, our team is equipped to meet your exact tolerances and exceed your expectations.

Our Precision Carbide Capabilities

Turks Head Rolls

Turks Head Rolls play a crucial role in metal forming. We machine our carbide rollers to exact concentricity, ensuring optimal wear resistance, precise relief angles, and a flawless surface finish to keep your wire and tube production running smoothly and efficiently.

Forming Rolls

Essential for high-quality tubing and piping production, our precision-ground carbide forming rolls are designed to take a beating. The superior surface finish we achieve translates directly to high wear resistance and absolute consistency in your final manufactured parts.

Straightener Rolls

Also known as guide rolls or flatwire straighteners, these components demand ultimate reliability. Leveraging our advanced CNC and manual grinding expertise, we manufacture carbide straightener rolls that deliver exceptional performance for highly demanding wire, cable, and tubing applications.

Extrusion Mandrels & Buttons

We are a trusted tooling partner for aluminum extrusion operations of all scales. The extrusion process demands incredibly tight tolerances and a mirror-like surface finish. Our precision-machined mandrels and buttons are perfectly paired to flawlessly extrude inner and outer profiles, customized entirely to your production needs.

Carbide Blocks

Built for extreme durability, our premium carbide blocks are engineered to withstand the most punishing manufacturing environments. We provide premium carbide blocks customized to your exact dimensional sizes and surface finish requirements.

Wire Straightening Dies

Designed for high-speed wire drawing operations, our carbide straighteners deliver unparalleled wear resistance. We pride ourselves on our ability to quickly turn around wire straightening dies of any size, helping you increase efficiency and minimize production interruptions.

Extrusion Dies

Critical for industrial applications and automotive components like bolts and brake lines, our extrusion dies undergo a specialized polishing process that significantly extends tool life. Combined with our deep expertise in Tool Steel, we are a leading supplier for the stamping and cold heading industries.

End Form Tooling

High-volume tube forming requires tooling that won't degrade under pressure. We manufacture precision carbide end form tooling designed specifically for expanding, reducing, and shaping applications, ensuring you hold tight tolerances cycle after cycle.

Die Cutters & Soft Plugs

We manufacture rugged steel and carbide die cutters up to 12 inches in length. Our expert machining team also produces custom soft plugs for bolted plates, providing a complete, top-notch solution for your specialized die-cutting requirements.

Compacting Dies

Essential for powder compaction and shaping conductive wire, our well-ground, highly polished carbide compacting dies offer exceptional longevity. We engineer these dies to hold critical ID requirements over massive, high-speed production runs.

Deep Draw Die

The lifespan of deep draw tooling comes down to the carbide grade and the precision of the grinding process. Leveraging decades of machining experience, we manufacture high-performance Draw Dies, Deep Draw Dies, Curl Dies, and Nibs that deliver consistent, reliable performance for metal stamping facilities worldwide.

Carbide FAQ

Carbide is a chemical compound composed of carbon and a metal or semi-metallic element. It is made by heating metal powders, usually tungsten, and carbon to a very high temperature. Carbide is hard, strong, and resistant to chemical attack and high temperatures. Tungsten carbide is often polished and finished with diamonds.

One of the major benefits of using tungsten carbide is its incredible durability. The material has an incredibly high melting point (around 5400 degrees Celsius) which means it is extremely resistant to heat and wears and tear. This makes it ideal for applications that require intense heat or wear resistance. Additionally, its hardness makes it able to withstand high levels of pressure without damage – making it great for extruding, end forming, rolling, and cutting.

Yes and no. Before it goes in the oven it is in a green state which is soft and can be turned or milled to preform close to the final shape required. Once its in the hard state is when it becomes difficult and that is where final dimensions are brought to size. Its a combination of using the correct diamond wheels and the correct bonding of those wheels along with high tech equipment and most of all many years of experience. Our employees are the most valuable part of that equation.

Ability to be made to a much higher RC value than steel (rockwell hardness) up to to 90 RC range which allows for a much more wear resistant material than steel that tops out at about 65 RC. (steel has a tendency to crack beyond this point) in turn money is saved with less down time making and replacing steel dies.

Carbide is stable. We grind parts with +/-.0002 tolerance. Steel will change  in size  much more than that with hot or cold temperatures. (Extrusions and end forming is done at molten or close to temperatures).

Carbide can be polished to a higher micro than steel which results in less slag or material stuck to the dies.Stuck material shows in drags or marks on the final part surface (less down time polishing).
