Tools for the Jet Aircraft Industry...

Since the 1950's SFS has worked with Ceramic Core Facilities, who make the cores that create the air passages to cool the jet engine turbine blades and vanes. We manufacturer a variety of small tools with cutter diameters from .015 ~  .060 to size holes as the pedestal dies wear. We also make routing cutters to remove parting lines on the outer perimeter of the cores. Special tool coatings are used to increase the tool life.

After the turbine blades and vanes are investment cast, they are subject to many inspections. Critical air flow must be correct. All parts must be defect free. Tolerances and radii must be correct on leading and trailing blade edges. We manufacturer a variety of Special carbide deburring tools and end mills that allow these parts to pass final inspection.

The aircraft jet engine tools have various shapes with diameters from 1/16' ~ 1/4" and O.A.L. to 6". Flute lengths vary from 1/8" to 3/4" and tool geometry is designed to cut "super alloy" materials.

SFS Carbide also manufacturers a variety of taper tools with small tip diameters and various degrees of taper to open air way passages on trailing edges of turbine blades and vanes. The tip diameters could be as small as 0.010. Special end mills with special geometry are also used for CNC machining jobs.

Every SFS Carbide Co. employee will strive to maintain open and clear communication, to maintain high quality production standards, to readily adapt to production changes by seeking continuous improvement, and to be open minded to all suggestions and feedback from our clients. SFS Carbide is ready to meet your exact application needs. Our engineers are capable of working from existing designs or starting from scratch to develop truly specialized tools for industrial and commercial applications. Whatever the case, we'll work closely with you to determine the correct tools for your application. Give us a call or use our quote request form.
