Peterson Tool Company’s ThriftEdge form tool system is said to help reduce setup and change-over time, maintenance and boost efficiency. Because all machines move in a circular or lateral motion, the performance of the cutting edge is especially important. The company says its products provide improved rigidity and strong cutting edge, enabling tighter tolerances. The company recommends the use of its system to improve tool life, part finish and repeatability.
