Safety Precautions when using Cutting Tools
Carbide Plus is committed to supplying products that can be used safely as directed under recommended machining parameters. Cutting tools can break or shatter when in use due to the extreme forces of the machining environment. Cutting tools will generate chips while engaged in the work piece and can produce dust, swarf, gases and potentially sparks or fire. Caution and safety must be taken into account at all times to include the use of protective eye wear, machine safety guard barriers, proper ventilation, quick access to fire suppression equipment and other safeguards. In no way shall Carbide Plus be held accountable or liable for any costs, machine down time, injuries, or deaths resulting from cutting tool breakage or emissions.
Limitation of Liability
Under no circumstance shall Carbide Plus be held liable in contract, warranty, tort or otherwise for any special, exemplary, incidental or consequential damages that result from your purchase or use of any Carbide Plus products. In no event shall our liability exceed the purchase price of the products from Carbide Plus. It is the customer’s responsibility to inspect all products to determine if they are suitable and per specification.
