Custom-design process:
1. We need your formal request for quotation for a custom-designed part.
2. We then review your requirements/parameters via drawings, sketches, models, and/or samples. Please fax or email us this information.
3. You can submit 2D (DWG, DXF, PDF) or 3D (neutral CAD IGES or STEP formats) files to us via email.
4. We can quote general blanks with grind stock on all surfaces to a completely press-to-size honed part with a grounded bottom. Feel free to contact us about your concept or application. Our design engineers are available by phone or email - OR you are more than welcome to visit our facility for a face-to-face meeting. We want to ensure that you are comfortable with all features and functionality of our product design BEFORE manufacturing.
5. We then prepare a formal quote, detailing the involved tool costs. We also give you a per-piece price in your selected grades.
6. After we receive your formal purchase order, we’ll construct a 3D model and submit an approval print for your review and signature.
7. After we receive back you signed approval, we’ll release the model to a die vendor to produce a die set. Manufacturing will then consume 4-6 weeks, depending on part complexity.
8. We then provide your test parts for field testing and dimensional inspection. Once these steps are completed, we require your final approval of product before full production begins.
9. We next give the production order to Manufacturing so product can be released on scheduled shipping dates.
10. We are your ultimate choice for premium-quality press-to-size inserts and toolmaker blanks for even the most challenging turning, milling, drilling, threading, facing, cut-off, and grooving products. Our tools are used extensively in the metalcutting, aerospace, heavy-equipment, petroleum, coal, construction, and woodworking industries.
11. From design through manufacture, we will deliver the lowest total production cost to ensure the overall optimization of your operations, no matter what your industry.
