Tool Alliance Celebrates 50 Years
U.S. cutting tool manufacturer Tool Alliance is celebrating 50 years in business. The company provides high quality solid carbide and indexable carbide cutting tools.
Tool Alliance makes extensive use of CNC grinding machines from various manufacturers, but has chosen to standardize the machines’ control systems on NUM’s Flexium CNC platform and NUMROTO software, primarily for reasons of performance and production efficiency. Tool Alli- ance is one of the largest licensees of NUMROTO in the United States.
Founded in 1972 and still privately held, Tool Alliance operates a num- ber of company-owned factories. Its principal manufacturing facilities are located in Huntington Beach, CA, in Fort Myers, FL.
The company’s cutting tool prod- ucts and services include brand names such as Ultra-Tool, RoundTool Labo- ratories, Tungsten ToolWorks, Routco and Mil-Tec. All five brands are sold worldwide and are supported by shared research, design, engineering, manufacturing, marketing and sales facilities.
The owner and President of Tool Alliance, Dave Povich, is no stranger to the cutting tool industry. A past presi- dent of the United States Cutting Tool Institute (USCTI), he has worked for the company since 1987. According to Povich, “NUM is our CNC technology partner, which creates a win-win situ- ation for both companies. We benefit from having a direct technical input to NUMROTO software development, while NUM gains valuable feedback on the design and production of the very latest cutting tools.”
