NEWS FOR FEBRUARY 2026


Please see our HOME page for the latest Whiteside catalogue/s.


Update: 20.02.2026

Tungsten prices are surging currently due to high demand and supply shortages.

Prices have surged 50-60% already in 2026.

Arms and ammunition, AI semiconductors, renewable energy sectors and the tooling industry depend heavily on tungsten.

Please be aware of the imminent price increases incoming for 2026 on all cutting tools with tungsten content.

Expect delays in special/custom orders.

Expect possible shortages and delays in availability.

The workshops we use to produce tooling are all warning of the price changes and possible supply issues.


Update 03.11.2025

Whiteside will be increasing prices 8% on all their products from 05.01.2026.

First price increase from Whiteside Machine Co. since February 2022.

Global prices on raw materials have escalated and the current prices are unsustainable.


If you would like to order tools from the new Whiteside catalogue please contact us; if we do not stock the tools you require we would be pleased to add them to our next inbound shipment from the USA.


Please email us through our contact page if you'd like to chase up on an 'out-of-stock' item.
