QUALITY CONTROL/INSPECTION

Quality is always a primary focus for manufacturers seeking new cutting tool suppliers. A manufacturer with our extensive experience in crafting cutting tools recognizes that to ensure optimal performance, maintaining quality throughout the entire tool-making process is paramount. To achieve this goal, our inspection department has invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in new equipment, software, and processes, solidifying our commitment to upholding a reputation for excellence. The culmination of our quality assurance efforts is seen in the final inspection stage, where we utilize our Zoller Genius 3 to meticulously verify that all critical cutter geometries and tight tolerance callouts have been met. This meticulous approach guarantees that each cutting tool not only appears identical but consistently delivers optimal performance.

Inspecting tools on our Zoller machine is the final stage of our inspection process after initial inspection which includes checks for chips, heels, burs, etc. as well as measuring all callouts on customer prints on an optical comparator, micrometer inspection of tool necks and shanks, and tool washing before Zoller inspection. Checking tools on our Zoller ensures certified tools match their corresponding reports. We measure and confirm cutter diameters, step lengths, helix angles, relief angles, hook, and other crucial geometrical features confirming they match the master tool we keep on hand for all cutting tools manufactured at California Tool.
