Tool Life Extension is our Speciality

Throughout our history we have constantly invested in research and development including proprietary machine tool technology, tool design and modeling, nano-grain carbide metallurgy and advanced multi-layer PVD coatings. These many years of research both in our lab and in the field have resulted in quantum leaps in performance. Let Oliphant Tool Company help you utilize our latest advances in cold header tooling technologies including our proprietary tungsten carbides, advanced tool designs and the latest generation of PVD wear coatings.

Oliphant Tool Company not only produces carbide pins and punches but also many of the machines used for their production. Our proprietary CNC grinding technologies offer superior accuracy, perfect concentricity and excellent repeatability. Each tool is produced to the highs of critical tolerance for maximum tool life while accuracy and repeatability in production ensures that each pin and punch offers predictable performance. Predictable performance is a critical component of tool life. Tooling that is not predictable has to be replaced early to protect the balance of the tooling kit from the catastrophic results of tool failure. Our predictable performance gives operators confidence to run our tools longer, significantly longer than competing products.
