Ian found that tungsten carbide grit solved this problem. The
tools they developed solved this problem, cutting the softest to some of the hardest materials, quickly and cleanly, whilst giving far better results and an extended tool life. We started selling Perma-Grit tools at Model Aircraft shows in the UK. We met customers from all walks of life and soon our tools were being used by an amazing range of people.
