If we’re not setting industry service standards for custom tool repair, we’re busy creating new ways to help you in all of your custom tool and carbide needs. Take, for example, the development of our carbide coatings.

When the SSG carbide coating was created, Oliver Corporation set non-metals machining technology on its ear. The SSG carbide coating vastly exceeded the performance of conventional abrasives or brazed-on “Grit” coatings for grinding many tough-to-machine materials like fiberglass and rubber. It wasn’t long before our competition was doing their best to imitate – with varying degrees of success -- the effectiveness of SSG.

As companies continued to develop new, more difficult-to-machine materials, and greater performance requirements, Oliver Corporation responded. As the rest of the industry waited, Oliver developed the MCM coating. With teeth that are more precisely formed and placed in a pre-determined pattern, this coating improves efficiency, extends service life, and provides more effective material-removal without “loading.” The MCM carbide coating is yet another example of how we at Oliver stay one step ahead of our competitors and one step closer to providing you with the solutions you need. That’s the power of innovation.
