We will tailor a program to meet your needs • All tooling is produced locally at our sister company Sharp Edge Tool Ltd. • Remember • Cold forgings when compared to bar stock have a higher yield and are stronger. Compared to hot upset forgings have closer tolerances, less machine stock, finer surface finish, no scale, and zero -0- draft (none). Part to part uniformity and dimensional repeatability afford trouble free processing. Consistency by Design
