Since 1986, Rock River Tool, Inc. has manufactured standard and engineered special cutting tools in the USA. By combining premium tungsten carbide cutting tips with vibration-dampening alloy steel bodies, our tools deliver exceptional wear resistance, tight hole tolerances, and lower cost-per-cut in production CNC operations.









Selecting the optimal cutting tool depends on workpiece hardness, machine rigidity, tool overhang, and coolant application. Rock River Tool manufactures cutting tools using micro-grain tungsten carbide tips induction-brazed to heat-treated alloy steel shanks.
| Material Group | Recommended Grade | Primary Cutting Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Cast Iron & Ductile Iron | Premium C2 (Grade 883) | High wear resistance against abrasive sand & scale inclusions. |
| Aluminum, Copper & Brass | Premium C2 (Grade 883) | Prevents galling and built-up edge (BUE) on cutting lips. |
| Carbon & Alloy Steels (< 35 HRC) | Premium C5 / C6 (Grade 370) | Superior crater wear resistance under high cutting temperatures. |
| Stainless Steel & Tough Alloys | C5/C6 + Custom Coating | Reduces work-hardening; maintains sharp cutting geometry. |
| Interrupted & Scaly Cuts | Carbide Tipped (Steel Body) | Dampens chatter and shock that shatter solid carbide. |
