    Description

    Premier Tooling Systems designs and manufactures Inserted Combination Tools for machining applications where multiple operations can be combined into one efficient tooling solution.

    By integrating several cutting operations into a single tool, manufacturers can reduce unnecessary tool changes, shorten machining cycles and improve overall process efficiency.

    Each combination tool is engineered around the specific component, machine and manufacturing process. Cutting features can be strategically incorporated into one tool body to perform multiple operations while maintaining the accuracy, rigidity and repeatability required for demanding production environments.

    Premier Tooling Systems works directly with manufacturers to develop application-specific tooling solutions focused on improving productivity, part quality and tooling performance.

    Key Features

    • Combines multiple machining operations into a single tool
    • Helps reduce machine cycle times
    • Reduces the number of individual tools required
    • Minimizes unnecessary tool changes
    • Custom-engineered around the component and machining process
    • Indexable cutting inserts for practical cutting-edge replacement
    • Designed for stable and repeatable machining
    • Supports improved process consistency
    • Can help reduce tooling inventory and production costs
    • Engineered for demanding CNC production environments

    Built Around the Machining Process

    Rather than machining a component with several separate cutting tools, a properly engineered combination tool can perform multiple features during a single machining cycle.

    This approach can help reduce:

    • Tool change time
    • Non-cutting machine time
    • Tooling inventory
    • Setup complexity
    • Overall manufacturing cost

    At the same time, combining operations can help maintain consistent relationships between machined features by reducing the number of separate setups and tool changes required.

    Typical Applications

    • Drilling
    • Boring
    • Counterboring
    • Chamfering
    • Facing
    • Profiling
    • Spot-facing
    • Diameter machining
    • Multi-step holemaking
    • Other application-specific cutting operations

     

    Custom Engineered for Your Application

    Every manufacturing process presents different requirements.

    Premier Tooling Systems works with customers to evaluate the component, tolerances, machine capabilities, production volume and machining objectives before developing the appropriate combination tooling solution.

    From initial concept and tool design through manufacturing, implementation and production support, our engineering team develops tooling around the process — not the other way around.
