HANNIBAL maintains a 99% line item order fill rate. We have a huge inventory of finished tools ready to meet your needs.

ORDERING
The only description required to order a standard tool is the EDP number (also include coating type on stocked coated end mills). However, as a cross-check, orders should include a brief description of the tool.
