We’re excited to introduce our new FX Series of Tools — built to deliver strong, reliable performance while staying affordable in a market where carbide pricing continues to fluctuate.
With ongoing volatility in carbide costs, we know how important it is to find tooling that performs well without blowing up your budget. The FX Series was designed with that balance in mind, combining efficient manufacturing with proven geometries to offer DLC-coated tools that make sense for real-world production.
Every FX Series tool comes standard with a DLC coating, which provides:
-
Lower friction for smoother cuts and better finishes
-
Reduced heat buildup to protect both the tool and the material
-
Improved wear resistance for longer tool life and fewer tool changes
-
Consistent performance across wood, MDF, laminates, composites, and plastics
How FX stacks up:
-
Compared to non-coated tools: longer life, cleaner edges, and more consistent results
-
Compared to premium DLC tools: similar performance benefits, without the premium price
The result is a tool line that delivers dependable cut quality while helping you keep tooling costs under control.
The FX Series is a strong fit for CNC routing operations, cabinet and furniture manufacturers, sign shops, and other production environments where performance and affordability both matter.
If you’re looking for DLC-coated tooling that delivers value without the sticker shock, the FX Series is worth a look!
