Tool steel is used to make cutting tools, measuring tools, molds and wear-resistant tools. Tool steel has high hardness and can maintain high hardness and red hardness at high temperature, as well as high wear resistance and appropriate toughness. Tool steel is generally divided into carbon tool steel, alloy tool steel and high-speed tool steel.

Tool steels are difficult to machine without causing fractures from the re-hardening of the outer layer surface. Our machinists know how to adjust the production process to relieve stress in the tool steel to maximize efficiency.

PTJ Shop’s manufacturing team has mastered the technical challenges of machining large tool steel components to produce an uninterrupted reliable parts supply for our customers.
