This article describes our full sampling workflow, including drawing review, blank pressing, precision grinding, sample inspection and sample delivery.
Full Article Structure
1. Introduction: Sampling for Non-Standard Carbide Blades
Most non-standard shaped carbide blades cannot use existing moulds. Sampling is required to verify dimension, edge quality and sintering stability before mass production. Rleey supports custom sampling service for OEM carbide blades, and we provide sample inspection report together with prototype.
2. Step-by-Step Sampling Workflow
- Engineer drawing review & feasibility check
- Custom mould or fixture preparation
- Powder pressing, sintering blank production
- Precision grinding, edge forming and honing
- Dimension test, surface defect inspection
- Sample packing and delivery
3. Main Factors Affecting Sampling Lead Time
Complex profile, special hole structure, strict tolerance and special grade will extend sampling time. Simple shape blades without new moulds can finish sampling faster. We will confirm the schedule before starting sample work.
4. Lead Time Reference Table
| Blade Type | Sample Lead Time | Bulk Order Lead Time |
|---|---|---|
| Simple rectangular blade, existing mould | 3 ~ 5 working days | 7 ~12 working days |
| Special profile, new mould required | 7 ~12 working days | 12 ~20 working days |
| Ultra-precision tolerance, complex shape | 12 ~18 working days | 18 ~28 working days |
5. FAQ for Sample & Mould Cost
Q1: Is mould cost refundable when bulk order reaches certain quantity?
Yes, we can discuss mould cost refund policy based on your order volume.
Q2: Can you send samples by DHL / FedEx for fast delivery?
We support all common express; sample freight can be prepaid or collected as your request.
