I agree, and I might add run away from this job fast. Sounds like they want to give you a carbide blank and you grind your own tool? That's just silly, inserts are cheap enough compared to labor costs involved in making your own tooling from carbide. Not to mention the effects on expensive materials if the tool is not made or sharpened right, tooling companies specialize in this for a reason. Next your boss is gonna ask you to apply TICN coating to those hand made tools, what a joke. If my boss told me something like that I would pack up and leave, after laughing in his face first.
