The Shape Master facility in Kirkland, IL

Shape-Master Tool was founded in 1976 as a niche natural diamond tool fabricating company, industry standards required a chip free finish at 1000x magnification. As the company has grown and evolved into a leading Polycrystalline cutting tool manufacturer, we continue to pride ourselves on providing the best edge quality in the industry.

Tool Manufacturing Facility

Built for today’s demands, expandable for tomorrow’s technology, the environmentally controlled facility was specifically designed for the fabrication of cutting tools. State of the art technology, high precision equipment, and skilled technicians maximize our efficiency in the process of building our customers’ tools, providing them the peace of mind that their tools will arrive on time and to specification.

Expert Technical Knowledge

Unlike most cutting tool companies, we don’t consider work piece materials as broad groups of materials (e.g. gray iron, powder metals, aluminum-silicon alloys, etc).  We understand the difference among machining unique alloys, and will best match the appropriate grade, edge preparation, and machining parameters for YOUR specific application.

Family Owned Business

We are a second generation family owned business whose success, in part, is attributed to aggressive capital reinvestment into industry leading equipment and technology.

Unique Work Force

Our employees enjoy working in our friendly, family like environment .  As a whole our workers have been with the company for an average of 17 years, growing more skilled over time in this specialized industry.
