TBT Tiefbohrtechnik 🇩🇪
Some companies chase trends. Others spend more than 55 years perfecting one thing.
TBT Tiefbohrtechnik was founded in 1966 in Dettingen, Germany, and built its name on a single discipline: deep-hole drilling. Now part of the Nagel Group, TBT is trusted by manufacturers who can’t compromise on hole accuracy — and backs it with a 48-hour express tool service for when production can’t wait.
Carbide Metalworking Solutions is the exclusive Southern African supplier of TBT tooling — manufactured by TBT Tiefbohrtechnik, distributed by us across the region. Three of our biggest sellers 👇
