Estimate metal stock or part weight from dimensions and material density. Useful for quoting, shipping estimates, raw material planning, and checking whether a setup is realistic to handle.
Let our engineers find the right factory for your specs. 100% Quality Guaranteed.

Calculate volume from the part dimensions, then multiply by material density. Convert units carefully before comparing kg and lb.
A common estimate for carbon steel is 7.85 g/cm3, but alloy, stainless, aluminum, brass, and carbide all use different values.
Yes, but freight carriers may charge by dimensional weight if the package is large relative to actual weight.
Use this calculator to estimate stock weight, part weight, raw material usage, and shipping weight from dimensions and material density.

Use the calculator freely. If the result points to a tooling or process problem, we can source the exact carbide tooling you need from vetted factories in China. Compare factory-direct pricing.
Before you commit to a spec, it helps to know what the market pays for it. These are real, publicly listed factory prices — not a quotation, and not a guess.
We source the tool families below direct from vetted Chinese factories, matched to the material and tolerance you just worked out. Every batch ships with its material certificate and dimensional record.
CALCULATING CARBIDE WEIGHT? Carbide is bought by weight at the rod stage, which is why weight moves price before geometry does. See how rod cost maps onto the tool you buy.
We source carbide cutting tools from China for job shops. We do not own a factory, which is why we can quote your drawing against two or three plants that actually run your material.
