Our Eliminator conical barrel tools are highly efficient at finishing and semi-finishing complex features, ideal for profiling flanks, steep walls, flat planes, and faces with minimal curvature.
World Leaders in the Manufacture and supply of High-Performance Carbide Cutting Tools for the Medical Industry
Just as no two knees are the same, no manufacturing processes are the same.
Our Infinite Possibilities programme for tooling meets and exceeds the demands of your medical manufacturing and production requirements.
Delivering absolute smoothness – a must for protection against wear and early failure.
Biocompatible metallic materials need to be hard-wearing and require high levels of surface finish to achieve their expected lifetime of 20 years or more.
Specialist medical expertise
You can count on Quickgrind Ltd. to have the industry experience and expertise needed to create the most efficient, longest-lasting tooling solutions.
We do more than just sell cutters. Our goal is to become your tooling ally by assisting you in increasing your productivity. We do this by optimizing metal removal rates and durability by using the latest technology and tool for the application. Not just any job, but your job.is achieved by applying the right technology and tool for the job. And not just any job, your job.
Our process often involves producing tools specific to your needs at costs similar to what you will be paying for standard tooling. We pride ourselves on offering virtually any tool in size, diameter, radius, or reach.
This technique has been so effective that it has been dubbed ‘Infinite Possibilities,’ and it has now been expanded to encompass a variety of complementary services, such as remanufacture and inventory control, as part of our ‘Total Solution Engineering’ program.

Hip Joint Tooling
Hip implants are typically made of cobalt chrome, titanium, or medical-grade stainless steel. They consist of a socket, ball component, and stem. Fixturing is a challenge for these components in smaller batches, and the material could be forged or cast blanks for the stem and bar stock for the rest of the components.
Lumbar Implants Tooling
Spinal instrumentation includes various tools and implants used in spine surgery. These can be pedicle screws, rods, connectors, plates, and interbody cages. Pedicle screws help hold and stabilise a part of the spine after spinal fusion surgery
Mirage handles multiple applications in titanium and superalloys
The Mirage 4-flute end mill has increased metal removal rates (MMR) and is suitable for trochoidal milling, allowing full flute engagement. Our chip breakers provide a secure cutting action to help reduce cycle times.
Dental Bridge Tooling
Titanium dental bridges are a type of implant-supported bridge that uses titanium posts as artificial tooth roots to replace missing teeth. Titanium is a biocompatible material and is often used due to its exceptional strength and corrosion resistance. Chip control and tool life are the most challenging aspects of machining titanium and chrome cobalt. Due to the features of a dental bridge micro tooling is also reqiured
Spectre machines deep pockets efficiently
Spectre is a solid carbide-coated high-feed tool developed with 3 flutes to machine deep pockets in difficult to machine materials. The large radii enable excellent stability when roughing at high feed rates. These tools are perfect for roughing dental alloys.
Zodiac adds another dimension to ball nose end milling
Zodiac’s 4-flute ball end mills provide highly efficient swarf evacuation, enabling high-speed and feed machining with great stability. It excels at roughing and finishing in numerous types of aerospace materials.
Gladiator perfect for roughing and semi finishing strategies
The Gladiator 2 Flute Universal Carbide Ball Nose End Mill shows versatility across various materials. Its unique geometry makes it ideal for a broad range of applications.
Bone Plate Tooling
Bone plates act as a framework to which fractured bones can be attached. This attachment helps properly align the bone structure. Using the correct implant and correctly applying it can also neutralize the forces on the fractured bone during the healing process.
Lynx Micro and Mini drills are small but ideally formed
Our Lynx drills have PVD coatings specially formulated for small-diameter drills, resulting in high durability and long life for carbon steel, alloy, die, and stainless steel applications.
Femoral Knee Tooling
The rounded end of the femur bone, known as the medial femoral condyle, rests on the flattened surface of the tibia bone called the medial tibial plateau. The femoral condyle is one part of the knee that is replaced during knee surgery.
Eliminator transforms finishing strategies
Our Eliminator conical barrel tools are highly efficient at finishing and semi-finishing complex features, ideal for profiling flanks, steep walls, flat planes, and faces with minimal curvature.
Zodiac adds another dimension to ball nose end milling
Zodiac’s 4-flute ball end mills provide highly efficient swarf evacuation, enabling high-speed and feed machining with great stability. It excels at roughing and finishing in numerous materials.
Mirage Super’s design takes it to new heights of performance
The new Mirage Super is made of the toughest substrate with a resistant coating and polished flutes for high wear in critical parts produced in superalloys.
Undercut tools produce features below an overhang feature
The tool’s end diameter, thickness, shank recess diameter, and length, along with the shank diameter and overall length, can be customised to address challenges in machining undercuts.
Chamfer cutters can be used for several machining operations
Our 4-flute chamfer tool bevels, deburrs, spots, countersinks, and, of course, chamfers. We can design the tool to suit your operation.
Panther femoral step drill handles multiple bores in one tool
Our Panther multi-diameter 2-flute drills can create multiple bores in one pass while reducing cycle times and machining costs, all with highly accurate bore alignment.
Gladiator is a ballnose 2-flute with a tapered neck for strength
The Gladiator is a reliable and precise tool for high-speed cutting and machining. It delivers exceptional performance whether you’re engaged in profile, copy, or contour milling.
