It’s well settled that you need the right tool to do the job right. Or as productivity guru David Allen put it, “If the only tool you have is a hammer, it’s hard to eat spaghetti.”
At West Ohio Tool, we’re proud to make specialized, custom tooling solutions and innovative game changers like the EDGEX4® engineered for endurance and performance. In addition, we partner with our customers to understand what they need and provide them with the right tool.
There is no one-tool-fits-all solution in manufacturing. Different applications, industries and materials require specific tools. Carbide and cubic boron nitride (CBN) work well for cast iron, hardened steel and, depending on the application, Inconel, for example. But they’re not the best choice when machining ceramics and graphite. Polycrystalline diamond (PCD) is highly effective for non-ferrous metals, advanced composites and abrasive materials.
West Ohio Tool is changing what manufacturers expect from their tools. Our custom tooling solutions have been shown to last 3 to 110 times longer than standard tooling and exceed performance parameters exponentially in certain applications. As a result, downtime for change outs is decreased, less operator input is needed, and tool inventory costs shrink while overall production efficiency and profitability increase.
We have experience in a wide range of industries from aerospace and automotive to defense and electronics, and we can guide you to the right tool that gets the job done right the first time. We’ve compiled a Tool Selection Guide that shows how we can reduce your cost per hole with the right tooling.
