We can manufacture any round tooling from solid, using various grades of carbide and high speed steels in solid and coolant-through. We can modify any round tool.  We've built a record of helping engineers and tooling managers out of a bind.  If you find yourself in any of the following situations, we might be able to help.

PROBLEM

SOLUTION

1.

You found a drill point from a major brand that is perfect for your application but the tool is not sold in the lengths you require. Or, you buy extra long drills and pay for coolant-through holes that you do not need because it is the only way to get the drill lengths you require. 

Small or Large Batch Production Runs.

We do not copy patented tool designs. Instead, we use successful tool geometries as the starting point for a tool more suited to your application. The resulting tool can be produced in small or large batches.

2.

You are using several different unique tools to complete a complex operation, and you are tired of the additional set up time and inevitable down time this causes.  

Special Manufactured Custom Tool.

We can produce the right tool for the job so you don't have to compromise. A tool designed to combine several operations in one can shave off a considerable amount of run time, making you the most efficient manufacturer you can be, and possibly the lowest bidder or fastest producer every time.

3.

You need radiuses, chamfers, steps, or size adjustments made on existing tooling, and you need it fast.

Tool Modification.

Send us any cylindrical tool that is almost perfect for your application, and we'll take it the rest of the way. If the tool is already in your crib, this can be a huge cost savings over building the tool new, and also increases turnaround time.

SPECIAL INVESTMENTS   As the Cutting Tool Services division approached its 20th anniversary, Alliance Innovative embarked on a plan to rebuild or replace every machine in our shop.  Through our partnership with ANCA, we have done just that.  In the process of upgrading and overhauling our production equipment, we made some special investments:

All tooling is produced on CNC tool and cutter grinders equipped with on-board optical measurement and inspection equipment. 

Offline 3D simulation software allows for "full and true 3D simulation of the grinding process."

Alliance Innovative can achieve advanced tool modeling and design without taking any machine off production.

Even photocopies of tooling and parts laid on the glass of a quality photocopier have been workable.
