For over 55 years, Five Star Tool has been providing services in the design and manufacturing of cutting tools from our facility in Rochester, NY. In the last 15 years, we have integrated our facility to provide state-of-the-art machining services. Our wide range of machining capabilities and value-added services allows us to deliver various custom–machined components and assemblies to several different industries worldwide. Our capabilities include multi-axis CNC milling, turning, grinding, Swiss turning, EDM, and prototype machining to meet the specific needs of our customers. As a cutting tool manufacturer, we have an extreme edge over our competitors. We can design value-added features into the tools that are used in our machining processes, which gives great cost reductions, improves on cycle times, and meets high tolerance requirements. Our customers depend on us for their machining component needs because Five Star delivers.
Swiss Turning
Swiss turning is a highly specialized service performed in our state-of-the-art facility that involves the use of Swiss-type lathes to produce small, complex parts with high precision and accuracy.
CNC Grinding
CNC grinding is a type of machining operation that involves the use of a grinding wheel, which rotates and removes material from a workpiece, resulting in a high degree of precision and surface quality.
EDM Machining
Electrical discharge machining, or EDM, is a non-contact form of machining that projects sparks from an electrode or wire to vaporize material of any hardness. It involves placing an electrode or wire and an electrically conductive workpiece into a circulating dielectric fluid.
Multi-Axis Turning
Multi axis turning is created by turning shapes using more than one axis on a lathe. This allows for turning asymmetrical spindles on the lathe and between centers. Five Star Tool uses as many as 5-axis giving us great capability for customization.
Multi-Axis Milling
Multi-axis CNC milling machine can cut at different angles and move along different axis. There are several kinds of multi-axis milling machines. Five Star Tool has machines that use as many as 5-axis. A 5-axis milling machine’s spindle and the cutting tool move along three axes and allow rotation along two axes (any of the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis). They can work on several parts and are the most complete multi-axis CNC machine.
Laser Fabrication
Laser cutting is a fabrication process which employs a focused, high-powered laser beam to cut material into custom shapes and designs.
