What we do

Find out how our solutions deliver performance where it matters most—at the spindle and beyond.

Close-up of precision-machined aluminum manifold with complex internal flow channels and tapped ports for fluid control systems.
High-speed carbide drill cooled with Oemeta metalworking fluid for optimal lubrication and chip evacuation during CNC machining.

Cutting Tools

We don’t just sell inserts—we build performance at the spindle. From indexable to solid carbide, our specialists help you select and support tools that actually match your materials, machines, and goals. Lower cycle times. Longer life.

Coolant & Fluids

Oemeta isn’t just a coolant—it’s a cutting tool, co-developed in Germany with BMW. We build full fluid systems around it to deliver top-tier performance without top-tier pricing. Expect cleaner machines, longer sump life, and sharper tooling.

Vendor-Managed Inventory (VMI)

Our VMI programs keep your shop stocked, streamlined, and stress-free. Whether it’s bins, vending, or digital tracking, we tailor inventory around your usage—so you spend less time reordering and more time producing parts.

Process Optimization

We work where the parts are made. Our on-site team audits tooling, speeds, feeds, and setups—then brings hands-on solutions that cut waste, improve cycle times, and boost throughput. It’s technical sales with measurable returns.

Machine Tool Accessories

From workholding to precision tooling, we source and support the critical gear around your machines. Need a custom setup? We’ll spec it, quote it, and get it you—fast.

Digital Tool Access

We’re building a faster way to source tooling—online. Our digital storefront makes it easy to find, quote, and reorder the tools you trust, with support from the same team who knows your machines.

Process Optimization

18% Faster, Zero Disruption

18% Faster,
Zero Downtime

18% Faster,
Zero Downtime

A local Northeast Ohio machine shop running Swiss machines brought us in to evaluate tooling and coolant. We replaced inconsistent inserts, optimized feeds, and introduced a new high-performance fluid eco-system.

The results were immediate: 18% faster cycle time, fewer tool changes, and better consistency. With no disruption to production, we helped them move parts faster, cut waste, and unlock capacity—all without adding a single machine.

Field Support

We’re in the Cut

We don’t just sell tools and fluids—we solve problems where they happen, at the spindle.

Our reps are on the floor daily—beside your machinists, inside your process. We dial in tool-paths, fix coolant issues, and push past catalog specs to improve tool life, finish, and cycle time.

Anyone can quote a part. We deliver on performance.

Backed by 35+ years on the floor and access to 500+ proven brands, we bring real technical depth—and we stay until it’s right. That’s how trust is built. And why we’re the first call—not the second opinion.
