Canterbury Tools

Canterbury Tools - Toolmakers uk established 32 years in the West Midlands are manufacturers of single operation and progression press tools. 

Servicing multiple industries throughout the United Kingdom we have gained a reputation for supplying well designed, high quality, reliable tooling utilising high quality tool steels, machinery and the latest 3D CAD/CAM and strip design software.

We believe by keeping the design process in house we can ensure as much fore thought is put into ease of manufacture of  our tooling as is to the process required for a successful finished component. As well as the obvious benefit to ourselves, the end user of the tooling benefits with easier future maintenance of the tooling. As toolmakers it is also our policy to not 'manually' line up and dowel the various parts on our tools, all dowels are either wire eroded after heat treatment or CNC machined, allowing replacement or modified parts to be manufactured to drawing for existing tools 'off the shelf'.

To make this possible all our CNC machines have been fitted with linear scales to ensure the highest possible accuracy. 

As  toolmakers we compliment our tool making  with the following:

• Bespoke Diesets up to 1600mm x 900mm
• 2D and 3D Machining inc. production machining
• Tool repair and modification - inc. Reverse engineering
• CNC programming for customers machines
• Wire Erosion - 5 Axis
• Jigs and Fixtures
• Tool Design
• Prototypes
• Low Volume presswork - 2000 off batches
