Custom Cutting Tools – Tailored Solutions for Unique Machining Needs

At Adams Metalworking, we design and manufacture custom cutting tools built to suit your exact application. Whether you need a solid carbide tool or an indexable insert solution, we can create the right tool for the job.

If standard tools don’t cut it, we’ll engineer one that does.

When Do You Need a Custom Tool?

Not every job is one-size-fits-all. Some applications require specialised tooling to meet specific design, performance, or material demands. That’s where our custom tool service comes in.

We work closely with our clients to deliver:

  • Non-standard geometries 
  • Material-specific tooling solutions
  • Tools for specialised machines or components
