Industries We Serve

While we have a long history of working with machine builders in the aerospace, automotive, heavy equipment, medical, electronics, weaponry and recreation industries, our expertise lends itself to any high-volume manufacturing industry that requires complex and precise cutting tools to reduce complex machine operations. Ready to see what Sharon-Cutwell can do for you?

Where We Excel

Speed, flexibility, expertise and workmanship – these are the four pillars of the Sharon-Cutwell pledge. We promise our team of machine optimization experts will quickly deliver cutting-edge and custom-engineered tooling solutions that meet or exceed your expectations. When you need to get the most out of your machinery, turn to Sharon-Cutwell.

Applications and Materials

While we design, engineer and build tooling that can cut through materials like iron, stainless steel, sintered and powdered metals, alloys and titanium, it isn’t so much that our tooling can cut through these materials – it’s how they cut through it.

The industries we serve require tooling that provides accuracy, special angles, uniformity and precision, and our tooling provides the exact cut, drill, ream or mill required. We put the complexity into the cutting tool so your complex job becomes easy.

Process Development and Continuous Improvement

Our expertise doesn’t stop at tooling design. Our team of engineers will work with you to make improvements to the functionality of your machines. This begins with the creation of a process development plan – getting you from idea to cutting tool. Then, we’ll launch a continuous improvement plan to refine and optimize your machine processes.

Project Launch Accelerator

Developing tooling and launching a new machining project can be extremely complicated and time consuming. Sharon-Cutwell has the launch process down to a science. Our team effortlessly guides your new High-Performance Machining project through the process – saving you time, money and frustration.

PROJECT LAUNCH PROCESS:
  • Phase 1: Requirement Definition

  • Phase 2: Process Definition, Tool Design & Quote

  • Phase 3: Tool Delivery, Tool Testing & Process Qualification

  • Phase 4: Production Launch Support

CUSTOMER SUCCESS STORY:

Tier 1 Automotive Machine Shop-Steering Knuckle

  • An automotive Tier 1 CNC Machine Shop was trying to find the best tooling for a high volume knuckle casting with complex drill and ream dimensions; they were unable to hold size and tolerance on a tight angle. 

  • Cutwell was able to provide custom step Drills & Tapered Reamers that enabled the customer to hold very tight tolerances and produce complex parts by the thousands, daily!

  • Cutwells tools and guidance took the customer’s process from a 30% loss in cycle time, to a 10% gain in throughput, increasing their profitability by more than 10%.
