About Us
High Quality Solutions
Finding An Accurate X-Ref Solution Is Our Ultimate Goal!
Since 1984, Our Team Has Succeeded In Understanding The Needs Of The Cutting Tool Industry And Applying Reliable Products To Provide Positive Manufacturing Solutions.
Throughout the years advances in Cutting Tool manufacturing has shown the growth from High Speed Steel (HSS) to Powdered Metallurgy (PM) to advanced designs manufactured from Solid Carbide.
In addition to the advances in the basic tool material, material specific geometry has been developed. These geometries coupled with the advances in the tool material has created the growth in High Performance Material Specific tools developed for advanced manufacturing materials.
Some Cool Facts
Numbers Speak For Themselves
Accuracy Comes First! We Have Made Sure That Every Minute Detail Is Looked Into While Creating The X-Ref Database. Our Focus Is 100% On Manufacturing Needs And Satisfaction.
Innovative Solutions
The X-Ref Guide is the creation of Steven Shoup. After spending many years in the Cutting Tool Field as a Product Specialist and Application Engineer, he saw the need for a comprehensive X-Ref process and guide for the Metalworking Industry.
Quality Unsurpassed
All X-Ref data is taken directly from each Manufacturer’s published catalogs and when discrepancies have been found in the printing, verified with the Manufacturer’s website.
Additionally, the dimensional data is verified against the ANSI manufacturing tables.
