Palbit is a Portuguese manufacturer of precision carbide cutting tools with over 100 years of experience in the production of hardmetal tooling. What sets Palbit apart is their complete vertical integration — Palbit makes its own raw carbide powder blends, develops its own proprietary coatings, and grinds its own cutting geometries, giving them full control over tool quality from raw material to finished product.
Palbit's product range spans indexable milling cutters and inserts, turning inserts and holders, solid carbide drills and hole making tools — covering applications in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminium and hardened materials. Their CVD and PVD coated grades are engineered for performance and tool life across all ISO material groups. As an authorised UK stockist, Protool carries Palbit tools ready for fast despatch.
Hardmetal Expertise, Every Cut
Palbit face mill cutters, high-feed (HIFEED) systems, 90° square shoulder cutters and profile milling solutions — with a wide range of compatible APKT, SOMT, TPKN, RPHT and SOET inserts.
ISO turning inserts in CVD and PVD coated grades for external turning, boring, threading and grooving — covering steel, stainless, cast iron and hardened workpiece materials.
Palbit solid carbide drills for fast, accurate hole making across all materials — with through-coolant options for deep hole drilling and demanding production applications.
Palbit develops its own CVD and PVD coatings in-house. CVD grades excel in general turning and milling of steel and cast iron; PVD grades deliver sharp edges for finishing and difficult materials.
All Palbit tools supplied by Protool are 100% genuine, held in UK stock with full manufacturer backing. No grey market imports — just the real product, ready to ship.

Palbit is a Portuguese manufacturer of precision hardmetal cutting tools with over 100 years of expertise in carbide tooling production. Unlike many cutting tool brands, Palbit controls its entire manufacturing process — producing its own raw carbide powder blends, developing its own proprietary CVD and PVD coatings, and grinding its own cutting geometries. This complete vertical integration ensures consistent quality across every insert and tool in the Palbit range, from the raw tungsten carbide material through to the finished coated product.
Palbit's milling tool range includes indexable face milling cutters, HIFEED (high-feed) milling systems, 90° square shoulder milling cutters, profile milling tools, and the Alu-Pro system for aluminium machining — all compatible with a comprehensive selection of Palbit carbide inserts including APKT, SOMT, TPKN, RPHT, SOET and APET insert forms. Palbit milling inserts are available in a range of CVD and PVD coated carbide grades to suit steel (ISO P), stainless steel (ISO M), cast iron (ISO K), aluminium (ISO N) and hardened materials (ISO H).
Palbit turning inserts cover the full range of ISO turning applications — external turning, internal boring, threading and grooving — with insert forms including CCMT, DCMT, TCMT, VCMT, WNMG and SNMG in multiple grades. CVD coated Palbit turning grades are recommended for general turning of steel and cast iron, where high wear resistance and thermal stability are paramount. PVD coated grades are preferred for finishing, stainless steel and difficult-to-machine alloys where a sharp cutting edge is essential to avoid smearing and built-up edge.
Palbit hole making tools include solid carbide drills with through-coolant capability for high-productivity drilling in steel, stainless steel, cast iron and aluminium. Palbit drills are designed for fast penetration rates and long tool life in CNC machining centre applications, with point geometries optimised for self-centring and chip evacuation in a range of workpiece materials and hole depth-to-diameter ratios.
Protool is an authorised UK stockist for Palbit cutting tools, carrying Palbit milling cutters, carbide inserts, turning toolholders and drills in UK stock for next-day despatch. Whether you need Palbit APKT inserts for face milling steel, Palbit TCMT turning inserts for stainless steel, or Palbit carbide drills for production hole making, our team can advise on the right grade and geometry for your application.
