Our machines are small in size, but they are capable of making precision parts out of steel, aluminum, brass, or softer materials such as wood and plastic. All of our products are made in the USA. These machines are perfect for light-industrial and home-shop use.

Carbide cutters give good finishes on hard-to-machine materials such as cold-rolled steel. They will also work on aluminum, brass, or leaded steels, lasting practically forever. However, the best finishes on those materials are still achieved with a good, sharp, high-speed steel tool.

Though not inexpensive, when you consider you are getting four cutting tools in one and are saving a lot of time in tool sharpening, it is a pretty good deal.
