Services
Custom Grinding
Our custom grinding services specialize in modifying and regrinding cutting tools to precise specifications. With over 50 years of combined experience, our technicians handle complex geometries for end mills, drills, and specialty tools. We offer centerless grinding for diameters under 2 inches across various materials including titanium and stainless steel. Emergency services complete same-day grinds with two-day delivery.
Inventory Management
Our inventory management solutions reduce acquisition costs by 40-60% through automated systems and vendor-managed inventory. Using CribMaster technology, we implement point-of-use vending machines that track usage in real-time. This eliminates stockouts while reducing administrative costs associated with purchase orders and inventory tracking. Custom solutions adapt to both staffed and automated storerooms.
Technical Services
Factory-trained engineers provide comprehensive productivity solutions through process analysis and tooling recommendations. We conduct time studies, component cost analyses, and machine capacity evaluations to identify efficiency improvements. Our services include coolant system optimization, fixturing improvements, and application-specific tool selection to maximize machining efficiency and tool life.
Vendor Managed Inventory
Our VMI programs eliminate individual purchase orders through automated replenishment systems. By maintaining consignment inventory at point-of-use locations, we ensure critical supplies are always available. Real-time usage tracking and automated reporting reduce administrative overhead while maintaining optimal stock levels across multiple locations and departments.
Tooling Solutions
We provide comprehensive tooling solutions including standard and custom cutting tools for CNC machining applications. Our specialists recommend optimal tool geometries and materials to maximize cutting speeds and tool life. Services include tool life cycle management, regrinding programs, and application-specific tool design for complex machining requirements in aerospace, medical, and industrial sectors.
