Machining non-magnetic tungsten carbide WA30 (MA30 Grade 2) was giving our team a real headache. Hard to grind, slow cyclegrinding times — we knew we needed to dig in and fix it on the shop floor.
Here’s how KSD PRECISION tackled the bottleneck:
🔹 Worked closely with our carbide raw material vendor to reprocess unused blanks before starting machining.
🔹 Spec-built new diamond grinding heads, including custom tooling matching the exact C4 chamfer angle from the drawing.
🔹 Switched to a new grinding fluid formulation.
The payoff?
✅ 30% increase in grinding efficiency
✅ Kept the original unit price unchanged
✅ Shipped 3 days ahead of schedule
Our customer was thrilled. And look — fresh raw material for their next order just landed at our shop.
