Special Indexable Tooling Systems

Special Indexable Cutting Tools by Application

Joint Production Technology designs and manufactures special indexable cutting tools engineered for specific high-volume production applications. Since 1971, JPT has solved the tooling challenges that off-the-shelf catalog tooling cannot — from differential case and carrier machining to disc brake, axle, cylinder head, and transmission case production. Every tool is engineered around your part geometry, your machine, and your cycle time goals.

    The JPT Way

    Most tooling problems aren’t solved by buying off the shelf. They’re solved by understanding the application, the machine, and the process — then engineering the right solution.

    Cutting tools. Fixturing. Complete production solutions. That’s been the JPT way since 1971. No catalogs. No guessing. Just engineering.
