Metal cutting solutions from Canada AT a time when economies throughout the world have experienced record lows, a company from Ontario, Canada is making it easier for manufacturing operations to cut costs and increase productivity. New- Form Tools prides itself on its high level of innovation, delivering ground-breaking ways to provide cost-effective metal cutting solutions to the tube and pipe, roll form, and coil processing industries. increased durability and longer production life. Its in-house cryogenic treatment service provides a critical hardening stage adding compressive strength and durability to the products, resulting in greater fatigue resistance. Coil processors can realise significant cost savings with chip resistant knives, providing increased production and reduced downtime.

patented quick change systems that dramatically reduce downtime in tube shearing. The New-Form quick change tool systems can now be adapted to fit most existing tube-shear cutting machines and will transform your production lines into higher profit work centres. Tool package changes that would total up to 60 minutes have been reduced to as little as 60 seconds. In changing blades and jaws, customers can realise return on investment in as little as one week, said the company. Taking away the guess work when fine-tuning spring back from the bending process, New-Form Tools has developed patent pending tweaking stations for CNC tube bending centres. These are able to accurately straighten or bend steel tubing to consistent tolerances with a cost-effective automated work centre. This allows customers to compete internationally with exacting consistent tolerances on every piece-part, produced in a labour free production environment.

New-Form Tools purchases only certified steel from reputable mill sources. All stages of manufacturing are completed in-house, allowing the company to monitor quality throughout the process. Blades, jaws and slitter knives are produced efficiently on robotic CNC equipment with limited human intervention. New-Form Tools eliminates the need to import low quality, uncertified products with long lead-times from low-cost unreliable suppliers. With the ability to work from concept to finished product, a dedicated technical team and a commitment to quality and customer satisfaction, New-Form Tools is a natural partner for automated integration solutions. New-Form Tools has also developed

New-Form Tools offers speciality blades and cutting systems for high tensile and high strength materials including stainless steels and exotic metal tubing. Its titanium coated shear blades, jaws, and roll-form tooling are impact and wear resistant. Customers that have struggled with sawing and shearing can now depend on consistent saw quality cuts in varying size and wall thickness. No longer is there unpredictability in blade life. New-Form Tools can assure customers of long life and high-quality cuts far beyond that of regular sawing and shearing of high strength steel tubing. New-Form also produces highly durable slitter knives, cryogenically treated for
