Supplier Spotlight WIDIA: Like a Diamond
WIDIA is one of the best-selling brands offered by BlackHawk Industrial. Among the oldest and most respected names in metal cutting, WIDA has been a leader and innovator for more than 90 years. In fact, its name derives from the German phrase hart wie diamant “hard as a diamond” and speaks to the superb quality and precision of WIDIA products. WIDIA precision-engineered solutions include products for indexable and solid milling, hole making, turning and tooling systems.
