Frequently Asked Questions |
Expand all | Collapse all1. Do you make special cutter bodies? A. Yes, with a “but….” We can and do make
specials; however, we make everything on our 5-axis CNC
machining centers, which are costly to program and set up.
Most of the special tools we make are quite complicated or
are "repeating specials"; tools that are not in the catalog
but the customer needs on a regular basis. These jobs can
justify the cost of special programming and set-up. Please
feel free to contact us if you are unsure if your job would
qualify.
2. Are you ISO9000 certified? A. No, we are still a growing manufacturer
and cannot justify the cost. However, we have tried to
follow all of the ISO requirements from the beginning of the
company and we are a certified supplier to many companies in
the industry.
3. Can you make CAT #50 taper shanks? A. Yes, we can make your tools on CAT #50
taper shanks along with any other size of CAT taper, R8,
Morse and even just plain straight shank. We machine these
from bar stock, rather than buying CAT blanks, so we can
offer any heat-treatment you specify.
