Industry
When the component on the table already has many hours in it, marginal tooling is not a saving. Rigid VTL tooling, ground shafts and spares for machines the OEM forgot.
Best for
Large-component machining on vertical and horizontal lathes
You send
Machine details, the operation and the component
You get back
Tooling and spares matched to machines still in service
How it starts
Feasibility confirmed against your machine, not a catalogue
The situation
The machines are decades old, the components are expensive, and a scrapped part is a serious event rather than an inconvenience.
What you get
Tooling, components and spares for large-machine shops.
VTL and boring holders built for heavy facing, turning and boring rather than adapted from lighter duty.
Reverse-engineered components with an approved drawing, so the next failure is a reorder rather than a crisis.
Shafts, sleeves and bushes ground to the size, roundness and finish the assembly needs.
Slides, spindles and tooling interfaces restored where the machine base is still sound.
Ground diameters, concentricity and holder locating faces are inspected and reported as agreed at order stage.

FAQ
The questions engineers and buyers ask before sending a drawing. If yours is not here, ask it directly — you will get an engineer's answer, not a brochure.
Still have a question?
Talk to Anita M.N, Managing Partner, or send the drawing and let the review answer it.
Yes. VTL tool holders, boring holders and SLA/SLB holders for large vertical and turret lathes are a core product family.
Yes. The part is measured, drawn for your approval, manufactured and verified — and the drawing is retained so the next time is simple.
Inspection reports for agreed critical dimensions, material certificates passed through from the supplier where requested at order stage, and process route information where your quality system requires it. Documentation scope is agreed before manufacture, not negotiated after delivery.
Drawings and samples are used only to prepare and execute your order, and are stored in private storage accessible to CMTA engineering. An NDA can be signed before detailed drawings are shared, and customer names, drawings and results are never published without written permission.
