When Standard Tools Won't Do

GWS Tool group believes the perfect cutting tool is achieved when all the features of the tool are perfectly aligned with all the numerous variables within the machining environment. While recognizing perfection is hard to come by, GWS strives to do just that by getting as close as possible, deviating from the stereotypical “off-the-shelf” tool. Be it a slightly longer length for reach, tighter tolerances to minimize finishing operations or enhanced coatings and substrates to extend life, there are many reasons why custom tools are a benefit to companies, GWS says.

GWS Tool Group has built one of the largest cutting tool manufacturing networks in North America, specifically aimed at producing custom tools for American manufacturers. The company says there is almost no tooling need it cannot meet — from milling, holemaking and threading tools to PCD, CBN and ceramic inserts. GWS says it has localized custom cutting tool capabilities to enhance nearly any metalworking application.

By either utilizing one of its high-performance standard products or with its expansive custom tool capability, GWS strives to provide its customers with the perfect cutting tool that maximizes efficiencies and reduces costs.
