KV Tooling First Place at ANCA Tool of the Year



ANCA Tool of The Year finalist tools

KV Tooling took first place in the ANCA Tool of the Year competition. Pat Boland, ANCA co-founder, said, "All finalists were of a very high standard and demonstrated a deep understanding for tool geometry as well as taking full use of ANCA's software to design unique and special cutting tools. We congratulate the winner KV Tooling, runner-up Eshed Tools and creativity award winner Zaklady Mechaniczne Kazimieruk."

Brian Beland, President at KV Tooling Systems, said, "Competing with world class tool grinding shops from around the world with the same grinding machines and winning-regardless of the size of the shop-is something we are particularly proud of. Our entry was a very complex tool with many features incorporated into one tool. We designed the cutting tool to satisfy a customer's problem, where our one tool replaced a machining requirement that previously required six tools. The customer was very happy with the production gains."

The top five tools were judged on the following criteria:

  • Best surface finish in Ra (roughness average) value on the flute or gash surface
  • The tool the that is closest to the nominal tolerance as stated on the drawing in terms of diameter and profile
  • Tool that has been ground to the tightest tolerance as per the drawing
  • Level of complexity.
