Contact us, to make your special tool

The world of tools is immense; in fact, there are numerous varieties of different tools. Tools can first be differentiated into:

• Standard: i.e. the most frequently-used tools without specific specifications.
• Customised special tools: tools built according to the client’s specific requests.

At TOMMASIN, you can find both types of tools, in order to satisfy both those who quickly need a common tool and those in need of a tool built ad hoc according to their needs.

Why do tools vary?

Tools vary based on three main conditions:

• The type of machining the tool must perform, such as:
  • Drilling
  • Milling
  • Chamfering
  • Reaming
  • Threading
  • Mechanical fixing

• The type of material to be processed, such as:
  • Steel
  • Aluminium
  • Carbon
  • Cast iron
  • Brass
  • Plastic
  • Titanium
  • Rubber
  • Plexiglass

• The type of applications in which the tool is used, such as:
  • Mechanics
  • Eyewear
  • Gold working
  • Energy
  • Automotive
  • Medical
  • Aerospace
  • Material processing
  • Etc.

What changes from one tool to another?

Depending on these conditions, which affect the physical, chemical and usability characteristics of the tool, the following may vary:

• Cutting geometries, i.e. the shapes and sizes of the main elements that make up the tool.
• Cutting parameters, i.e. the depth, feed rate and cutting speed of the tool.
• Materials and coatings used to create tools. At TOMMASIN, we boast a full range of PCD, carbide and braze-welded tools.

The tolerance ranges, i.e. a numeric range, between a maximum value and a minimum value, that the size of the piece can assume.
