Product Catalog
WTC manufactures patented Polygon Box
Tools which are utilized to machine Polygon contours both internal
and external in metal. Currently ten models for both automatic screw
machines and conventional lathes are in production. A typical
application would involve performing such operations of turning or
boring hexes, squares, flats or any other polygon shape concurrent
with other machining operations, yielding a finished part from one
machine cycle. Thus resulting in the elimination of costly secondary
operations.
See our product application
descriptions below.
