MSC or Grizzly Industrial have carbide cutters and I believe diamond coated cutters. I dont know how tungsten carbide compares to pure tungsten in hardness but there may be a solution. Seems like a new file works to put a groove into 1/8 tungsten in preparation for "snapping" so I bet these cutters will work on tungsten.

Never have seen cutters that can do tungsten.. ( most cutters are tungsten or compound with tungsten) grinding seems to be the most feesible way to "machine" tungsten...

Hi,

Is it possible to turn tungsten in a metal lathe (something a home shop would have)? I would guess McMaster would have the tools if so.

Cheers,
