Fullerton Tool To Unveil New Partnership At IMTS

Fullerton Tool To Unveil New Partnership with Velocity Products, Briney Tooling Systems and Blueswarf At 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show

Saginaw, MI - Fullerton Tool Company (Fullerton), a manufacturer of precision- made solid carbide cutting tools, to unveil partnership with Velocity Products, Briney Tooling Systems and Blueswarf at the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) in Chicago, Illinois.

Fullerton’s partnership with Velocity Products of Huntsville, AL involves a collaboration among several companies including Briney Tooling Systems of Bad Axe, MI and Blueswarf of State College, PA. This collaboration among companies with expertise in toolholding, cutting tools, machining dynamics and distribution has been crucial in the development of Velocity’s SMART ToolTM products. Their products will enhance digital manufacturing for users of Okuma machining centers with the Okuma OSP-P control and will be available to users of Okuma machining centers exclusively through the Okuma distributor network supported by Velocity Products, effective September 19, 2016.

“Being involved with the Velocity SMART Tool was a no brainer for us” said Patrick Curry, President of Fullerton Tool Company, “the SMART Tool is a turnkey solution that eliminates the guess work for machinists, optimizes parameters in high speed machining and eliminates trial and error. To be able to develop this product with Briney’s American made tool holder, our American made tooling along with Velocity and BlueSwarf’s knowledge and expertise makes it a difficult combination to beat.”

In addition to unveiling this partnership at IMTS, Fullerton’s cutting tools can also be seen in demonstrations at the following booths at IMTS: Briney Tooling Systems (W-2200), Command Tooling Systems (W-1446), Huot Manufacturing (W-2122), Okuma America Corporation (S-8500), SCHUNK, Inc.
